Battlefield 2/AIX2 mod set up

[cleerider]

Trying to get the AIX2 mod up and running. The box runs fine until we switch it over through the BF2CCD to the AIX2 mod. After I set up & restart I get this message in the daemon log "BF2 process has stopped on Map: Unable to Query Map Name".

It seems to be indicating that you don't have a valid mapcycle set up. Did you add maps under the AIX2 mod using the daemon?

[cleerider]

Actually it does register maps if I change the confile to the maplist but the problem seems to lie with the bf2cc daemon. In the bf2cc i cannot start or stop the server change mods or change the rotation of maps it seems to not be able to write to the confiles for the map[list or serversettings and can't start or stop the server. here is the errors i got so far in the bf2cc client when i try to restart server

That appears to be a client error. Are you running the very latest client? Are you connecting in daemon mode or rcon mode?

[cleerider]

I am not sure if i am running the latest Bf2cc client but i believe so and connecting by daemon not rcon

[cleerider]

I re-downloaded the latest from bf2cc.com the client just to verify and it gives the same errors
this is what concerns me is this part of the error---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied
almost as if the the files are locked from being controlled from outside by the client and/or not writable

If this is a managed server and if you open up a support request, I can try to duplicate what you're seeing and see if I can find something out of order on the server side.

The daemon is what initially starts the server and it owns all the files, so it should not have a permissions problem. It is possible that the error you are seeing is caused by the BF2 server crashing/freezing when the mod does not load correctly.

Common problem with bf2cc, the daemon profiles get corrupted and need to be created again.

Try to delete all the existing profiles for the bf2ccdaemon. After starting bf2ccdaemon again, a new default profile will be created automatically. Leave this profile alone and imediatley create a new profile (name it propably aix2, or whatever you prefer). Choose the correct mod and create a maplist.

Side note:
bf2cc was propably the worst graphic interface ever created for bf2 and far from a blessing, it is bug riddled and was running far from stable, especially in combination with mods. If you can, try to run the server without bf2cc and use rcon administration instead and for player managment the Punkbuster Webtool (as you can read, I am not a fan of bf2cc, and can't recommend it at all ).

Start the server with bf2_w32ded.exe +modPath mods/"path to your mod", for example

bf2_w32ded.exe +modPath mods/aix2

If you need some help, let me know.
