Crysis 2 Multiplayer Hosting

[navidnouri]

i think that every one is interested how to Host a game themselfs so here it is but IT CAN NOT WORK becuase we dont have a dediacated server installation


1. Create server.cfg file into Crysis 2 rootfolder

Dedicated Server Configuration

 
sv_servername yourservername

sv_lanonly 0
sv_maxplayers 16
sv_packetrate 30
sv_cheatprotection 1
net_enable_voice_chat 1
g_useOnlineServiceForDedicated 1
net_profile_enable 1
sv_levelrotation levelrotation.xml
gl_skip 1

sv_gs_report 0
sv_gs_trackstats 0
sv_ranked 0

g_nextlevel

2. Create levelrotation.xml (Same location as server.cfg)

1.Template:

<levelrotation>
<level name="MAP" gamerules="GameType">
<setting setting="Setting Value"/>
</level>
</levelrotation>

1.Example:

<levelrotation>
<level name="cw2_downtown" gamerules="TeamInstantAction">
<setting setting="g_timelimit 20"/>
</level>
<level name="cw2_rooftop_gardens" gamerules="CrashSite" />
</levelrotation>

3. Create serverlauncher.bat to start your server easily (Any location)

@EcHo off
:server
echo Starting server...
"Bin32\Crysis2DedicatedServer.exe" +exec server.cfg
echo Server crashed...
echo

GAMETYPES / MAPLIST


Gametypes:

Assault
CaptureTheFlag
CrashSite
Extraction
TeamInstantAction
InstantAction

Maplist:

cw2_alien_vessel
cw2_alien_vessel_small
cw2_church
cw2_city_hall
cw2_collided_buildings
cw2_cxp_liberty
cw2_cxp_liberty_mil
cw2_cxp_liberty_statue
cw2_downtown
cw2_lighthouse
cw2_pier
cw2_rooftop_gardens
cw2_terminal


there is need of this functions and codes:

g_enableInitialLoginScreen = 0 ; disable login screen at game startup
g_gamespy_loginUI = 0 ; disable multiplayer login screen
net_initLobbyServiceToLan = 1 ; make LAN (local) lobbies instead of internet lobbies in multiplayer
sv_lanonly = 1 ; launch LAN only server

g_gamespy_loginUI = 0 ; disable multiplayer login screen
net_initLobbyServiceToLan = 1 ; make LAN (local) lobbies instead of internet lobbies in multiplayer
sv_lanonly = 1 ; launch LAN only server


what is this not clear

[navidnouri]

It only works for leaked version, so don't bother try this on your official version, people.

Is it work on demo at last? If work for demo, we may add maps to demo and use it.
