well, since mercilessmod.com has gone down I have moved my guide here for public to use if they want to run merc on a lan or whatever
steps to make merciless work:
1. Game server: put the 4 main files into a folder called
folder: call of duty/merciless_uo
You need the following 4 files:
z_merc_weapons.pk3 4mb
z_merc_sounds.pk3 51mb
z_merc_skins.pk3 69mb
z_merc_core.pk3 20mb
total: 144mb
PART 1 download
Zshare.net
PART 2 download
Zshare.net
linux servers need a few other files
get them from
Mercilessmod.com
2. Game server: change your gameserver command line to include the command:
+set fs_game merciless_uo
for example, ours is:
+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 77.74.199.113 +set net_port 28963 +set sv_maxclients 20 +exec server.cfg +set fs_game merciless_uo +map_rotate
3. Game server: edit your config to include the merciless variables. I have made a config that includes these, in thecore files pk3 readme folder. Change these to suit your needs.
4. Game server: Change your map rotation in the config to a basic one to get the server working. Put in custom maps later. Do not use the gametypes that are unsupported in merciless
5. Download server: Set up your download server address.
An example is:
Redalb.free.fr
However this is NOT a merciless download server, just an example of what a COD download server looks like when you set it up right. Open it in your web browser and you will see the maps listed.
In their config, this clan will have the following lines to enable auto-download of custom mods/maps (notice that you take off the /uo):
//HTTP Redirect Downloads
seta sv_wwwDownload "1"
seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://redalb.free.fr/"
seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "1"
In your web control panel (often called cpanel), make a public_html directory and in this directory make a folder called /uo. It is case sensitive, so do not use /UO !!
6. Game server: You need to change this in your config file to your own working redirect address.
7. Download server: Upload the 4 merciless files to your download server
folder: /uo
z_merc_weapons.pk3 4mb
z_merc_sounds.pk3 51mb
z_merc_skins.pk3 69mb
z_merc_core.pk3 20mb
DO NOT put the download files into a /merciless_uo folder.
Check that the download server works by removing your own copy of merciless_uo and see if it downloads ok.
8. Restart your server.
9. Check that everything works. Note that if you have certain custom mod and map files in your /call of duty folder or your /call of duty/uo folder then merciless may not work properly on your PC (but it may work ok on the server!)
10. Modify your gameplay settings (e.g. classes, speeds, ammo loadouts, number of mines/TNT etc., map rotation and add custom maps, etc. as you desire. See below for a list of working custom maps and ones that I have found NOT to work with merciless.
