Server side only tweaks???

[|D|-Jaws]

I've already modified certain vanilla BF2 maps for use in an infantry only server by tweaking things in the gameplayobjects.con file. I removed vehicles and arty and uav/radar. Clients can connect and they don't have to download anything which is really attractive. I am curious if there are other areas inside of the server.zip file that can also be tweaked without forcing a change which would require a repackage and hence, a clientside download.

For example, can sky.con be modified server side only and clients see the resulting change?

TIA

This would be on an UNRANKED server right? (although it would rock to have infantry only on a ranked.) DOWN WITH ARMOR WHORES.

The one about using unmodified files, to revert back to original.

You can't change vanilla maps, you have to copy them and save them under a different name. It would only give you that error if you tried to join a server where your files differed from what it was running...(ok sometimes it gives that error for no reason) but if you get it every time....
