BFBC2 Admin Release

It was literally finished minutes ago. I am going to attempt to run the Daemon. It would be great if anyone could let me know any problems they are running in to.

Good luck!

Known issues

* The daemon loses all settings after a shutdown
* Users that are not allowed to manage users still see the tab, but the tab is not functioning



Just to make sure people see this.

They also have a support forum, but I have yet to see any posts. I am having problems getting the Daemon connected to the Client.

Ok guys, I have things up and running. I figured I would save people time and explain a few things that the "up and running in 5 minutes page" did not.

1. Start the Daemon
2. Start the Client
3. In the Client enter the following:

Daemon IP: This is YOUR IP since the Daemon is currently running on your machine. Entering localhost seems to be the most effective.

Daemon Port: 13370
Username: admin
Password: Now this is where it was a bit unclear. After filling out the IP, Port and Username, hit enter with a blank password. Now, pull up the daemon and scroll to the top, there you will find the random password for that session. Now, go back and enter in things exactly as you did before, but with the random password you found on the Daemon DOS Screen.

Now, you should be connected to the Daemon via the client. It will now ask for:

Server IP (which is emailed to you)
Port (which edge posted as 48888)
Rcon password (in your control panel)

Hope this makes things easier. It took me a while of trial and error, checking message boards and luck to figure this all out. Good luck!

will this monitor/print server side chat outside of the game? i'm looking for a tool i can use to admin my server when i'm not in game. thanks!

[Johnny]

It only monitors chat as far as I know, to check for admin commands. There is nothing like a chat log yet. This is a very early/crude release. For the time being, I will stay with it until I test something that I like better.

I am currently running it with no problems. There have been 2 patches already.

Hope this helps you my friend:)

Just curious, With this tool can you send a message to the server?

I tried admin.yell and it dont work. I also have a website I found with all Rcon commands, It says its game.sayAll "here" and still is a no go.

Maybe im just wanting wanting wanting, and I need to be more patient.

Great tool so far

try: admin.yell "msg here" 10000 "all"

that'll display it for everyone for 10 seconds

JordOn (everyone gets it wrong so don't worry)

You're welcome, I failed at it at first also, till Edge helped me.

I have a knowledgebase post up with the commands here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =50&t=4278. It has an example of how to use admin.yell as well.

The rcon tool in the control panel also includes a little blurb with example commands if you hover your mouse over the command box.

Thanks for the link, That explains it very nicely.

I've been trying to broadcast to a specific player. It keeps saying "invalid arguments" and IDK what I'm doing wrong:

Code: Select all

admin.yell "You now have admin rights." 10000 "player xchromosome"
