My CP is a control panel for launching a dedicated COD4 server locally on the same computer that RconMax is running on.

The My CP function is not for starting a game server that is hosted on a remote machine at a server hosting company. It is for running a game server locally on the same machine (PC) that RconMax is running on only.

RconMax MyCP Tab

Settings

  • fs_savepath - This is where COD4 will write data to. Normally this is the same as the Game Folder.
    • ... - Click the ... button to choose the fs_savepath folder.
  • fs_game - This is the "relative" path to you mod folder. Only required if you are running a modded / custom map server. You do not put the "c:\program files\infinityward\cod4\" just the bit after that.
  • Dedicated - This set whether it is an internet server or a server on you local network.
  • net_ip - This is the IP address for your server. In most cases this should be set to localhost even if you are going to run your server as an internet server for remote players to join.
  • net_port - The UDP port that you are going to use for your game server. The COD4 default for this is 28960. You may need to enable this port in your router / firewall.
  • sv_punkbuster - Set PunkBuster On or Off for your local game server.
  • Exec - This is used to execute a configuration file when the local game server starts.
  • map_rotate - If you do not use the map_rotate command your local game server will not normally run correctly and players will not be able to connect.
  • Apply Changes - This will rebuild the command line based on the selected settings.
  • Save Settings - This will save your settings to use again next time.
  • Command Line - This is the command line that will be used to start your local game server.
  • Create Configs - This will create a standard set of configuration files that you can use for your local game server. You should edit these files using a basic text editor like NotePad and make any necessary changes before using them for local your server.
  • Start Server - This will start your local game server running using the settings in the command line text box.
  • Restart Server - This will restart you local game server using the settings in the command line text box.
  • Shut Down Server - This will shut down your local game server.
