Running

Game selection

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is the default game, but expansions are also supported.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Breakthrough are supported in OpenMoHAA using the com_target_game variable. To play an expansion, append the following command-line arguments to the executable:

  • +set com_target_game 1 for Spearhead (mohaas/mohta, mainta)
  • +set com_target_game 2 for Breakthrough (mohaab/mohtt, maintt)

On Windows, you can create a shortcut to OpenMoHAA with these command-line arguments. The default value of com_target_game is 0 for the base game (mohaa, main).

With com_target_game, OpenMoHAA will support the network protocol accordingly.

You can now start a local OpenMOHAA server or play on a server.

User data location

The location of user data, like console logs, saves and config files can be found in different locations depending on the platform:

  • %APPDATA%\openmohaa\<game_name> on Windows
  • ~/.openmohaa/<game_name> on Linux

This has two advantages:

  • On a multi-user system, each user will have their own configuration file
  • It doesn't overwrite the existing MOHAA configuration in the MOHAA installation directory.

Note that the configuration file isn't created nor written automatically on a dedicated server (omohaaded).

Playing with bots

OpenMoHAA has a basic bot system that emulates real players. The maximum number of bots is defined by the sv_maxbots variable, and the number of initial bots is defined by the sv_numbots variable. Bots can also be added or removed using the addbot and removebot commands.

This feature is a great way to test the gameplay and mods.
