Step 6: Starting Your CoD2 Server

Create a .sh file with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash

sv_maxclients=“32″
fs_game=“your_mod_folder_here“
fs_homepath=“/home/USER_HERE/YOUR_COD_DIR“
cod=“/full/path/to/cod2_1_3_lnxded“
com_hunkMegs=“256″
config=“configfile.cfg“
net_port=“28960″

args=\
„+set fs_homepath \“$fs_homepath\“ „\
„+set fs_game $fs_game „\
„+set net_port $net_port „\
„+set com_hunkMegs $com_hunkMegs „\
„+set sv_maxclients $sv_maxclients „\
„+set fs_basepath \“$fs_homepath\“ „\
„+exec $config“

$cod $args +set g_gametype tdm +map mp_toujane

Adjust the variables to match your server setup.

Start the server using:

./filename.sh

Keeping the Server Running

To keep your server running after disconnecting from your SSH session, it is recommended to use screen:

screen -AmdS cod2
screen -x cod2
./filename.sh
