Reign of the Undead - Revolution

A Zombie Survival Mod for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Navigation

Requirements

This mod requires everything a mod usually requires. You shouldn't worry about them when you have a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare server already running.
If you rather want to be safe than sorry, here are the basic requirements:

  • A Windows or Linux dedicated Server with at least 6 mbit/s upload
  • At least 500MB disk space available
  • Due to the nature of mods that use bots, a good CPU (Intel Core 2 [>2.0GHz] or better / AMD Athlon X2/Phenom [>2.2GHz] or better) is recommended
  • A Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare dedicated server patched to at least 1.7, <1.7 is untested, 1.7a enables additional functions
  • When planning to use the RotU-STATS, you'll either need ManuAdminMod or Big Brother Bot and a MySQL database

Installation

  1. You should start by navigating into the server's installation folder. It should look something like this (make sure the mods folder name is in lower case letters!):

  2. Now open up the .zip containing the release (we use 0.7-alpha in this example) which should look like this:

  3. Navigate into the UPLOAD (no shit, Sherlock) folder in which you should find a mods folder. Go into that mods folder and you'll find a folder called rotu-r-alpha
  4. Upload the rotu-r-alpha folder INTO your mods folder on the dedicated server
  5. You're done!

Configuration

Make sure to carefully read through every single config file. Every important setting should be documented and self-explanatory.

Launching RotU-Revolution

Here is the command line you should use to start the server. Make sure to replace the <placeholder> with actual values.

+set fs_game mods/rotu-r-alpha +set net_port <port> +set net_ip <server_ip> +set ui_maxclients 64 +set sv_maxclients <player_count> +set sv_punkbuster 0 +set rcon_password <rcon_password> +exec general.cfg

Currently the mod and this tutorial are developed to use on a dedicated server and not on your local installation. There can be problems here and there.

Setting up RotU-STATS

Requirements

  • MySQL server with phpMyAdmin, preferrably on the same host as the RotU-R server
  • A running and working ManuAdminMod (MAM) or Big Brother Bot (B3)
  • Access to a database on the MySQL server with permission to alter it
  • RotU-R 0.6-alpha or higher

Installation ManuAdminMod

  • Login to phpMyAdmin and open your existing database (on the left) or create a new one and navigate into it afterwards
  • Open the tab "Import" at the top
  • Upload the rotustats.sql and hit Go, the empty tables should now be created
  • Copy the rotustats/manuadminmod/plugins/rotustats.php from the downloaded .zip into your <mam_install_directory>/plugins/ folder
  • Add this to your config.cfg and insert your actual data:
    • [rotustats]
mysqlserver =
mysqluser =
mysqlpassword =
mysqldatabase =
  • (Re)Start your ManuAdminMod
  • Don't forget to enable RotU-STATS in your rotu.cfg

  • Copy the rotustats/b3/rotustats.py from the downloaded .zip into your <b3_install_directory>/extplugins/ folder
  • Copy the rotustats/b3/rotustats.xml from the downloaded .zip into your <b3_install_directory>/extplugins/conf/ folder
  • Modify the rotustats.xml file and at least provide your MySQL database information

    • <plugin name="rotustats" config="@b3/extplugins/conf/rotustats.xml"/>
