Choose between the two options below to report directly to the above masterserver(s).


Add the following CVAR to your gameserver config:

set sv_masterX "<masterserver>"

Where X is a number greater than 1.
sv_master1 default to the Activsion masterlist.

For example:

set sv_master2 "codmaster.comu-mvzg.com"
set sv_master3 "master.cod.pm"

The Call of Duty 1 server support up to sv_master5, so chose wisely.


b) Temporary via rcon command

All rcon commands are temporary until the server is restarted.
The same applies from above. The rcon command is as follows:

/rcon set sv_masterX "<masterlist>"

The change takes effect on next map rotation or with a /rcon map_restart command.
