I noticed a lot of players haven't yet heard about this, so I thought I would make a little tutorial. NOTE: this only works on pc! If you' re a console player, buy cod4 on pc or just ignore this.
The Cod4X client will only work on Windows!
Recently the guys at IceOps have been unofficially patching the game, to fix bugs and make the game more enjoyable. They improved the server by fixing bugs, and adding features like being able to run through teammates. On the client side they enabled borderless windowed mode, fixed the bug where the game would crash if you didn't have a microphone, and more.
Server 1.7a
This is the server side modification. At the time of writing this 450+ servers are using it! A full list of servers running this is here. It fixes several bugs:
- Makes GUID spoofing on non cracked servers impossible
- Fixes clients being able to download logs and other stuff they are not supposed to download
- Lots more!
It also implements several new features including:
- A power system, each admin can be given a specified amount of power, power needed to execute each rcon command can be tweaked as well
- Extra cvars controlling many aspects of the game
- Server side plugin system
- Auto-update facility
- No player collision
- Allowing cracked players to join by using a different authorisation method, without handing in security
- Lots more!
Installing
Installing works just the same as the normal server. Just use the patched file instead of the regular one. All features will be enabled automatically.
Using plugins
Create the server/plugins directory and place the plugins you downloaded in there. To execute a plugin type loadplugin <pluginname> in the console, or execute a config file with this line in it.
To unload the plugin again execute unloadplugin <pluginname>
To list all loaded plugins execute plugins
Cod4X
This is the client side modification. It adds the following:
- The game won't crash anymore after downloading content (mods and maps)
- The game won't crash anymore when there is no microphone present, this fixes most of the crashes for people
- It fixes servers being able to steal CD keys, the client will disconnect when a server tries too
- IPv6 networking is added, which means you can now connect to server using such an address: [2001:41d0:8:1b2c::1]:28961
- Stats won't get encoded anymore
- Modded servers will be displayed properly again, even modded servers that are faking of being non-modded (redirect servers for example)
- You can now display an external console
- An update option on the main menu
- A borderless windowed mode, as seen in most recent games
- Custom server list to replace the master server by Activision which is down
