If you are having trouble with setting up a MOHAA Server and it has to do with maps, firewalls and console things then here is my small contribution...

Step 1
Create a shortcut on the desktop to the MOHAA.exe and then add the following to the Target field in the properties (right-hand mouse click on the shortcut) window.

It will look something like this: Target: X:\Games\MOHAA\MOHAA.exe

Add the following after MOHAA.exe and make sure these is a space between them:
+set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg

+set dedicated 1
// make it a dedicated server (1=ON 0=OFF)

+exec server.cfg
// Name of the server script you wish to execute. NOTE: Be sure it is in your X:\MOHAA\main\ directory or it will not work

You now should have a shortcut named MOHAA on your desktop with properties that look like this:

Target: X:\Games\MOHAA\MOHAA.exe +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg

Click apply. Now onto step 2.

Step 2
Create a server.cfg (create a text file with notepad/editpad whatever, and change the file extent ion to .cfg) script and put it into the MOHAA\main\ directory. The contents of the server.cfg file should be most of the following:

Save this file as server.cfg (or whatever name as long as it matches your shortcut from Step 1) and save it in your MOHAA\main\ folder. To start the server - just double click the MOHAA shortcut on your desktop ...experiment as necessary ...and...ENOJY!

Serving MOHAA (Medal of Honor) Behind a Firewall
(Putting your server behind a firewall is a BEST PRACTICE)

If you plan on putting your MOHAA Server behind a firewall (ie: residential ones D-Link, Linksys, SMC) you will need to open and forward the following UDP (not TCP) ports in order for Medal of Honor to work.

* denotes ports that absolutely have to be open and forwarded to the Server in order for MOHAA to work online. You don't have to have any of the other ports open in order to serve games via the in game Gamespy server list, but you may want to open them for other reasons.

Setting the RCON password on the Server for remote Admin
(do this in your server config file "server.cfg")

rconpassword - sets remote console password so clients may change server settings without direct access to the server console. The default is set to none. Client can control the server by entering commands on the console with the format of /rconpassword <mypass> and then adding server commands after the /rcon command.

Now you can issue other rcon commands such as:

Calling a Vote
Open the console ( ~ key) and call for a vote, to change maps, turn team damage on or off, or KICK someone. To call a vote to kick someone called JerkWad, enter the console and type the following:

/callvote kick JerkWad

It will be broadcast to everyone in the game that a vote has been called for. Anyone who has the ui_console option enabled can now enter one of these two very simple options:

vote yes
vote no

Server Console Commands
Remember to open the console by hitting the "~" also known as the tilde key.

Client Console Commands
Remember to open the console by hitting the "~" also known as the tilde key.
