How to Use

1. Preparing Game Data

To run the server, you need to provide the necessary game data:

1. Clone or download this repository to your host machine.
2. Copy required data from the main folder of your original game (install directory or retail DVD) to the cod2server/main folder within this project:
   • Copy all iw_XX.iwd files (from 00 to 15).
   • Copy all localization files (e.g., localized_english_iwXX.iwd - adjust language if needed).

OR

• Request the FULL Docker image if available.

2. Launching and Managing the Server

1. Launch the server from the project root directory:

   docker-compose up -d

2. Restart the server (e.g., to pick up config changes):

   docker-compose restart cod2_server

   Note: cod2_server refers to the name of the service in the docker-compose.yml file.
3. View server logs:

   docker-compose logs -f cod2_server

4. Attach a shell to the server to run commands (like status or map_rotate):

   docker container attach call-of-duty-2-docker-server_cod2_server-1

   • Example Commands:

     status
     map_rotate
     

   • To detach: Use the escape sequence CTRL+P, then CTRL+Q, or simply type quit if the server console allows it.
5. Completely stop the server:

   docker-compose down
