UT2004 Dedicated Server
Unreal Tournament 2004 is a popular FPS game, produced by Epic Games back in 2004..
Obtaining the Server
Download the UT2004 Dedicated Server from here. While that's downloading, obtain a free server CD key from here. Do note that these CD keys cannot be used for the game itself. These keys are used for server tracking.
Unzip the file to an appropriate location.
Open to \UT2004\System\ut2004.ini, and find the block [Engine.AccessControl]. Under here, set the AdminPassword to a secure value. Eg, AdminPassword=Th!sM1gh7B3S3cur3. Remember this password - you'll need it later.
Starting the Server
Once the files are unzipped, you are free to start the server using the following executable files in the UT2004\system\ directory:
- Windows admins use "ucc.exe"
- Linux/x86 admins use "ucc-bin"
- Linux/amd64 admins use "ucc-bin-linux-amd64"
- MacOS X admins use "ucc-bin-macosx"
The easy way to administrate the server
The UT2004 server contains a web interface, which makes administering a single server easy.
To enable this, head to \UT2004\system\ut2004.ini, and find the block title [UWeb.WebServer]. Under this, change the bEnabled value to true, and optionally change ListenPort to a different port.
Save the file and start the server (see Starting the Server, above). Open your favourite web browser, and point it to http://<server-address>:<port>, where <server-address> is the hostname, IP address or DNS address of your server and <port> is the port specified in ListenPort above.
You will be asked for a username and password. The username is admin by default, and the password is the value set in AdminPassword during the initial setup. Once entered, click OK.
From here, you can change the current match settings and defaults (using the appropriate menu options at the top center).
Under Defaults, you can change map rotation, game type, etc.
Under Current settings, you can see player lists, change map, kick/ban and use the console, among other things. --Banana 07:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
