Hey all

i read up on all the info on how to start a server and adding testclients (i want to practice some stuff as obs) and i cant seem to get the testclients to add.

i HAVE loaded the .cfg, i CAN set the gametype and load new maps on whatever gametype, i am NOT using a shortcut to run i simply open the mod, start a new server then set gametype, set map and load cfg. I want to know if somone can either give me an example of what a shortcut would be to run a dedicated with a certain number of the Testclients snakelet mentioned.

If it makes any difference i have a copy of the .cfg in both the main cod4 folder and the obs2.99d mod folder.

thanks in advance

"Path to COD4\iw3mp.exe" +set r_fullscreen 1 +set dedicated 0 +set developer 0 +set fs_game Mods/mp_obs299d +exec obscurity_defaults.cfg +exec test.cfg  +set g_gametype obs_war +devmap mp_shipment +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0

For the test.cfg create it with the following and stick it in the obscurity folder:
set developer 1
set developer_script 1

//How many teamkills before reflect
set teamkillreflect 100
//How many test clients
set scr_testclients 5
//set this to 0 to disable them from firing
set sv_botspressattackbtn 0

Let us know how it goes.

had a problem getting (+set r_fullscreen 1 +set dedicated 0 +set developer 0 +set fs_game Mods/mp_obs299d +exec obscurity_defaults.cfg +exec test.cfg  +set g_gametype obs_war +devmap mp_shipment +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0) into the shortcut but found a workaround. Game loaded fine but no bots.. gunna play around for a bit but if  any other advice is welcome

*edit: turns out my file path is too long and it cuts out the end. i think this could be my problem

*edit 2: managed to make things worse. go me

*final edit: nope not working. loads a game but no bots

Run vanilla COD4, load the mod from the mods list. Then in console type:

/exec obscurity_defaults.cfg (or whatever your config is called)
/devmap mp_crash
/scr_testclients 5

That should work, if not I have no idea. Check the extended console to see if it says anything when you type /scr_testclients 5 and hit enter.

punkbuster doesn't like test clients, you generally have to put "pb_sv_enable 0" in your command line when you boot the game, or something along those lines.

Just for your information, the bots are really crap and just jitter about.

For testing out the mod (without bots) just to play around as obscurity, I think this will work...

Try the following steps:

1: Before starting the server, setup the rcon password. "+set rcon_password PASSWORD" (+ is for the startup command, remove it if you want to place it in the .cfg file)

2: Start the server and join it.

3: Login to the server via rcon (either remotely or  through console).

If you're using a remote rcon, type in the console (without quotations) "changeteam #yourslotnumber"

If you're using in-game rcon, type in the console (again, without quotations) "/rcon changeteam #yourslotnumber"

"#yourslotnumber" is the slot number given to you by the server, if you're the only one connected, then it should be either 0 or 1. It 'should' show up on the remote rcon's list. For in-game rcon, type in: "/rcon status" 

Let us know if this solved your issues.
