Current bc2 admin tools

[GhostMjr]

Currently we are using the clanforge tool via webpage by multiplay and in addition a tool known as bc2cc.

Clanforge

Clanforge can be accessed by going to:

http://clanforge.multiplay.co.uk/cgi-clan/manage.pl

The userguide can be found here:

http://gameservers.multiplay.co.uk/help/clanforge-userguide/

Access to clanforge is via multiplay and therefore needs a multiplay username.

To add a user to the clanforge admin list the following details are needed:

• multiplay username
• email
• real name

BF2CC

For access to bc2cc this is done via downloading the tool:

http://www.bc2cc.com/downloads.html

I am also using BFgaurdian as it is providing in game commands.  The other tool that is around at the moment is similar to the old bf2cc and has been set to use with a  daemon which dice is said is not allowed so that will not work.  Hopefully proper rcon commands and a more extensive tool will be out shortly.

It has automatic update when you launch the tool or you can manually update it.

PS!: Not 100% sure if its gona be used, if it will be i have already set up a working tool with all the required messages and setting.

Looks good, does the mixed mode feature work? If so lets bring it on.

Off to have a play with it....

Assuming this does what we want we'll get it up onto one of our two boxes asap and we'll therefore need a config file - Valdeko you offered to sort one for us please so could I ask you to get the starting file set up so that we can get it working?

I have assumed that this needs to be hosted on our box as Multiplay would not host it - or does it need to be hosted on the game server box?  If so then this has an impact on who we renew with - Multiplay or Rackage.  Can I have some feedback on this please?  My reading of it is that is needs ideally to be on one of our boxes for the scheduled message element to work properly (and not have multiple spammed by different admins), but then also run by each admin locally to allow then the more delicate in-game controls?

Thanks in advance.

Ive already made a working Wolfcon tool on my comp, just need to know who to send it to.

And yes TL, we need to host it on one of out boxes (same as the Guardian is being done atm). The tool is the same as guardian, you can set up all the admins befor hand and what commands they can use. So when the tool is being run on the box, the admins can freely use the ingame commands. But to actualy see whats going on ingame (swearing on other team, excessive TKing, lone wolfing) each admin needs to run the same version and same configed Wolfcon whats being run on the box, on their comp aswell.

Are there any advantages to using Wolfcon over BC2CC?

All I really need is the ability to put up messages, and boot people if need be.

[valdeko]

Just for plain use Tutonic? If so then no, not really, any tool is good for plain use.

Its just that WolfCon has more extra options in it, that makes the server better.

But you do know you can use the ingame commands of WolfCon also, you've been added to the admin list, so /say,/yell,/kick/ban/slay options are available ingame.

FYi, Latest update from Valdeko is now running on BA4.

[valdeko]

As i found out last night (by mistake): running to exact versions and exact config WolfCon at the same time makes one of the tools shut down or stop working. That happened with me last night when i started WolfCon on my comp to see some more info and thus makeing the WolfCon on the BA4 stop working (since the wolfcon on BA4 comes from me).

So could the other admins just for safety reasons not run their own WolfCons atm. Since we dont know what happens when 2 WolfCons with diffrent configs run at the same time.

[TeaLeaf]

Good safety tip Valdeko!  I presume it is up and running again now?

[valdeko]

Yea, PMed whitey last night, he restarted it today.

Heads up!
Wolfy, the author of WolfCon, is hard at work with WolfCon 2.0 . It will be launched quite soon (e.t.a middle of july).
Also new WolfCon update is release for the new patch.

[Gone_Away]

I'm working on a new config and map rotation for whitey. I'll use the Wolfcon updater tonight before I send it on. Have you been involved in the beta testing for 2.0? I missed my chance to get onboard.
