    The next release should be dedicated server supportable :P

    Sir Community is currently testing my latest version on their dedicate server.
    If they do get it to work correctly and in a near perfect way, credit goes to them for making it work

        FYI Djuice,
        if u use clickteam's installer, to get the path from registry, use this :

        ROOT KEY : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
        key : SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\battlefield 2
        subkey : installDir

        - it might save some trouble -

          the 2.6 mod has been working with the dedicated server already, you just have to copy the maplist.con from the ded. server into settings....i`ve posted that a couple of times


          the 2.8 mod is working if you delete the levels.md5


          i think most players cannot join because of the wrong installation or they have forgotten to copy the levels into the mod...for that an installer is a good job, because not everybody is a PC Freak (has nothing to do being lazy)

              Wow, this mod is awesome. I just played it for three hours or more, in a row. I haven't played that much BF2 in weeks! The game feels so much more alive, like it's a real war happening. The immersion and feel of the game has just improved so much. Thank you :) . Naturally the mod isn't finished and you might know of these issues all ready, but I figured I could tell of some issues I ran into (in no particular order):

              Sometimes when I get hit (don't know if it's by bullets, granade fire, shells or something else entirely) I keep taking damage in the same way you do when you leave the combat area... almost as if I'm burning. Is this a game feature? I'm sorry, I haven't looked through exactly all the features you're implementing (yet). It's kind of annoying as you eventually die. So what's the point? Your death is innevitable it just takes another 10 seconds.

              The sniper weapon seems a bit too powerful. I'm talking about the automatic ones. I once got 7 kills in a row in 4 seconds, no joke. I've always been good at sniping so it might just be that, that I'm a bit better than the average soldier, OR it could be that it's overpowered. It really was too easy to get kills though. Add more sway to the automatic sniper-rifles or make the shots more spaced out so that you can't fire it as quickly as, say, a pistol. The USMC rifle is much more balanced.

              What's with all the classes having C4? And you gave the Special Operatives claymore mines? Somehow you've managed to make the SO both useless and overpowered. They're useless in the sense that you can be any class while taking out artillery/UAV/etc, making the Special Operatives... less "special". They are also overpowerd because they now have antipersonell mines. One things that the SO should have are smoke granades. It just fits with the whole infiltration and stealth part of the SO.

              How come button number 4 isn't used for anything? It just selects the weapon you're currently using. I guess this is just a bug, but I thought you should know about it.

              The pistols make too little damage in my opinion. Are you supposed to have to shoot about 8 bullets into the chest/neck/head area before they die?

              This has been said, but the claymore mines and the anti-tank mines can be thrown much too far.

              There were a few more issues with the mod, but all in all it was a great experience. Thank you once again and I hope I could help. If you need anybody for beta-testing you can always ask me. Now, I'll play the game some more

              (BTW, have you sent this to planetbattlefield.com? Or maybe you're waiting for the multiplayer fix.)

                Which is why Djuice provided a detailed Readme on the installation. I have also created an installer which installs the mod.

                It was not the levels.md5 file. It was the AI Original.con within the Kit's causing the problems which i modified, besides some other's, so that it will not crash. Otherwise with these files in tact both the client and dedicated server it will either crash with no error or state that your client is not allowed to play with modified content.

                  I downloaded and installed the 2.8 version with installer that is quoted at the top of the page. I just tried to join 80.190.230.102
                  I got 3 messages. The first 2 were something about select a server or along those lines. Then i got the modified content message. The only thing i have done to that file is change the number of SP bots to 19.

                  what do i need to do to play online????

                            UPDATE 2.8b

                            Client 2.8b

                            Dedicated SERVER 2.8b

                            Currently 1 server running the mod and is passworded, for the time being, will be removed or changed. You can access it on 68.3.184.118:16569 password realismalpha69

                            Please read the full README and Changelog provided. There are several known bugs, which are currently being ironed out for the next release. Enjoy!

                            Credits goto Djuice for an awesome mod package.


                            Edit: Some may experience a shader's problem, which I am expecting to see, since BF2 gernerate's a new set of shader's for every modification. It's beyond me why DICE did not dynamically link the shaders. It's not neccesary for a mod of this calliber. I am currently testing this and quite possibly a new installer will be available.
