Server updates? about iw7-mod HOT 3 OPEN

I appreciate the work, everyone! It would be fantastic to finally have functional Multiplayer with a server browser for IW7. It would mean that every single CoD game before the BO3 era has been finally modernized, and made functional for the foreseeable future. The strength of this community never fails to surprise me. They put in so much work for something they really love. The hope never dies!

Zombies servers been working since first server issue I made, multiplayer has lacked support for a while, would be good to get it a bit further even if basic functions

Just doing what I can, I’ve played with other mod clients so a lot of the server stuff I’ve done for iw7 is from previous ones. So was kinda lucky to get zombies working.

mp is a little harder, once we can have like map rotation, game modes via commands we could use a lua script like other mod clients and have functional mp, not sure if the player level saves tho?

however zombies side of things:
I used the no-steam argument as

1. steam causes input lag/ delay at times. And 2) I only have 1x steam account with infinite warfare.

from my trial, I had multiple pc’s (2) join a zombie match, first time it crashed on one Pc but rejoined and it worked, map rotation worked just fine, and contracts worked also.

I use playnite (game launcher) but have set up a play action to launch server, then another that uses iw7-mod.exe -no-steam -cpMode +connect 127.0.0.1:127016

What this does is launch iw7 mod in zombie mode & connect to system local connection. Meaning it will always connect to your server as long as you host your own server. Perk to this is you could use like a steam deck and still level up against bots without a connection at all
