[CoD2] Setup CoD2 on your Ubuntu server

Hey guys!
I got my cod 2 and cod 4 working :)
But. CoD 2 works only when CoD 4 is off
and CoD4 works only if CoD 2 is off
How can i make two servers working on the same time?

In CoD 4 cfg I've changed the port on 28777 and it did not help :/
any solution?


EDIT:

Ok, +set net_port 28777 did the job :)

I am proud of you. Congratulations! Do you invite us on your servers soon, don't you?

Quick update for ubuntu 16.04 and the current libcod version (which doesnt require the gcc-multilib thing anymore):

PHP Code:

---

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libmysqlclient-dev:i386 g++-multilib git
git clone https://github.com/voron00/libcod
cd libcod
./doit.sh cod2_1_3 


---

Somehow I only can start the server on localhost, but I would like to make the server available for everyone.

When I run the server.sh, console tells me:

PHP Code:

---

Opening IP socket: localhost:28960 


---

I tried to set dedicate to 2, so that the server is for everyone available.
Now the console this

PHP Code:

---

dedicated is read only. 


---

I am not sure if it's an error or warning, but it's still running on localhost.

This is my server.sh (which is inside my CoD2 folder):

PHP Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

cod="/home/CoD2/cod2_lnxded_1_3"

$cod +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game "loveboy" +set com_hunkMegs "256" +set sv_maxclients "16" +exec server.cfg +set g_gametype hq +map_rotate 


---

I also tried to set the net_ip with my real IPv4 address

PHP Code:

---

$cod +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game "loveboy" +set com_hunkMegs "256" +set sv_maxclients "16" +set net_ip "12.34.56.78" +exec server.cfg +set g_gametype hq +map_rotate 


---

but the server crashes.

The error:

PHP Code:

---

Opening IP socket: 12.34.56.78:28960
ERROR: UPD_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested
Opening IP socket: 12.34.56.78:28961
ERROR: UPD_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested
Opening IP socket: 12.34.56.78:28962
ERROR: UPD_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested

... till :28969

Sys_Error: Error during initialization:
Couldn't allocate IP port 


---

I also tried to open port in my firewall

PHP Code:

---

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -d 12.34.56.78 --dport 28960 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT 


---

and tried to check it with

PHP Code:

---

iptables -L 


---

and found my new entry (successful), but still same errors.
My opened port disappears when I restart ubuntu.


Does anyone maybe know what to do?

There are 2 pages of google with the same problem, maybe try some: https://www.google.de/search?q=%22ER...n+requested%22

Quick skip for solutions over it was from "put net_ip in .cfg" to "reinstall game" lol

Also show your server.cfg

Also try allow all traffic: https://superuser.com/questions/6344...coming-traffic

Or start as root for a test

I tried to allow all traffics with:

PHP Code:

---

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT 


---

I looked up which ports are in use, and when I start server, this will be list up:

PHP Code:

---

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name    
...
udp     1408      0 0.0.0.0:28960           0.0.0.0:*                           3345/cod2_lnxded_1_ 
... 


---

It disappears when server is offline.

The net_ip was already set in my server.cfg.
This is my server.cfg:

Edit: [SOLVED]

net_ip 0.0.0.0 fixed my problem.

I'm trying to make it work for hours. I have no idea and i can't see any error message :/ I can't connect to server with ip and address like : /connect xxx.xx.0.202:28960;password xxxxxx It's keep trying forever.


Edit : I solved it. IP was wrong omg sorry for bother :(

Thread editted to reflect that this method works on basically any ubuntu version
- 12.04 untested
- 14.04 thoroughly tested (10+ servers running for multiple years)
- 16.04 tested
- 18.04 thoroughly tested (10+ servers running for multiple years)
- 20.04 tested

Barring any major changes in the architecture (dropping 32 bit support for example), this tutorial should work on future versions as well.

Hello!

Ill have a problem with dependencies:

apt-get -y install libmysqlclient-dev:i386Package libmysqlclient-dev:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libmariadb-dev-compat:ppc64el libmariadb-dev:ppc64el libmariadb-dev-compat
libmariadb-dev libmariadb-dev-compat:arm64 libmariadb-dev:arm64
libmariadb-dev:i386 libmariadb-dev-compat:i386
apt install libmariadb-dev-compat:i386

gives this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmariadb-dev:i386 : Depends: libmariadb3:i386 (= 1:10.5.12-0+deb11u1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Im on Debian 11 (amd64)

Whatever. I compiled anyway, The real problem is with running the script.

Created startcod2.sh
With this lines in it:

################################################## ##################################
#!/bin/bash

sv_maxclients="32"
fs_game="main"
fs_homepath="/home/somedirectoryname/cod2"

LD_PRELOAD="/home/somedirectoryname/cod2/libcod2_1_3.so" $cod $args +set g_gametype tdm +map mp_leningrad
################################################## ##################################



I get this errors:

startcod2.sh: line 21: 47857 Segmentation fault LD_PRELOAD="/home/somedirectoryname/cod2/libcod2_1_3.so" $cod $args +set g_gametype tdm +map mp_leningrad


Any idea?

Works fine for me on a fresh Debian 11 amd64 install, substituting the libmysqlclient-dev:i386 with libmariadb-dev-compat:i386.

Literally all commands until cod2 server got started:

Code:

---

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install libstdc++5:i386
sudo apt -y install gcc-multilib
sudo apt -y install libmariadb-dev-compat:i386
sudo apt -y install g++-multilib
sudo apt -y install git
git clone https://github.com/voron00/libcod
