Playlist config

The following configuration has to be done in your playlist. Do not edit your iw4x/playlist_default.info file directly as this file is updated via the updater and will be resetted to defaults.

Instead put your playlist in the players folder in your MW2 root directory.

General

Playlists are limited to 32 Gametypes and 23 playlists. It is possible to create multiple seperate playlists. A single server can only run a single playlist at a time.

Function script

In playlists you can use the following parameters to configure your game server:

• gametype <string>: Unique name for your configured gametype. Everything until the next gametype configures your gametype. Eg.: gametype tdm
• name <string> "<string>": Configures a specific localized name for the gametype which is shown to the user. Eg.: name english "Team Deathmatch"
• script: Gametype the game actually loads. Eg.: script war
• More gametypes can be found here
• teambased: Currently unknown
• hardcore: Currently unknown
• rule <string> <string>: Rule is used to customize dvars. Eg.: rule scr_thirdperson 0
• For possible values you can check the options for your preferred gametype here

Playlist

The first playlist in your file has to be playlist 1. To start this playlist on your server, you have to pass the parameter +set playlist 0.

• playlist <int>: Configures playlist
• rule <string> <string>: Overwrites rules configured in your function.
• <mapname>,<gametype>,<mapweight>: Configures your playlist. Put every map you want in your map rotation on a seperate line. The higher the mapweight the more likely this map will be picked. Eg.: mp_rust,tdm,4 or mp_fuel2,tdm,1
