*Unlock All Weapons* in server patch 1.02

[surfmog]

I've looked through your post and I've also visited some of the servers that are using your spoofed reply algorithm.

I've taken the 1.02 Server both Linux and Windows. I've updated the local hosts file and indeed bf2web.gamespy.com pings back with 209.91.168.238.

I went into bf2/mods/bf2/setttings/serversettings.con and saw with the default install the following were set.

sv.useGlobalRank 1
sv.useGlobalUnlocks 1

However, I'm not able to get a Windows or Linux server unlocked. I must be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss right now.

What else is there to change to get this to work?

I brought up Ethereal on my Windows box to look at the server connect out and the only thing I noticed is a conversation with battlefield2.available.gamespy.com on port 27900. I never saw a communication with my server and bf2web.gamespy.com.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. :wall:

can i just get a straight answer? Does this work for single player? Please no smartass replies having to do with public school educations or such.

Script Not Working

I cant get the Script to work (using the top one). It seems to output ok?

O
H	pid	nick	asof
D	12345678	UNLOCKED	1122957313
H	enlisted	officer
D	0	0
H	id	state
D	11	s
D	22	s
D	33	s
D	44	s
D	55	s
D	66	s
D	77	s
$	103	$

Is this what i should expect?

Anyway tried every trick in my book and dont expect any webserver help (should not need any ) but still no unlocks.

Thanks though - will keep using your url as long as it works...

A little confused here?!?!

My post is not about whether it works or not (im not administrating a server) but more about the getunlocks thing... I sniffed the packets when I connect to a server (im working on the "cd key already in use" issue) and I noticed something, the BF2 client is also getting the unlocks (GET /ASP/getunlocksinfo.aspx?pid=4xxxx646 HTTP/1.1) and receiving an official response from BF2web.gamespy.com. This is unexpected for me as I thought it was the server requesting the information Is it possible that both the server and the client request the info from getunlocksinfo.aspx but only the values on the server are taken into consideration?

w00t w00t yes I just got it working.

For those of you having problem getting it to work check your serversettings.con and make sure sv.internet 1 is set.


Many thanks to the original author for taking the time to figure out how to make this work!!

Your simple answer: Negitive.

ok so basicly , the actual server must have that code for u to have unlocked wepons. so its not like u have unlocked weapons in every single server right?

that is correct. Only those servers that choose to gink the hosts file or serve their own code are unlocked....

it has NO effect on your client at all.

Can't wait for EA to get ahold of this. Possibly a law suit, and a for sure perma banning of IPs, and stripping people of ranked servers (if anyone would be so dumb).

you are pathetic.
we dont change ANYTHING from EA's code. ( bye bye lawsuit )
we bought the game, and if you cant join ranked servers bcoz of ping/full ( or dont want to ) you will be stuck with those silly weapons.

that Banning wil be hard too.... server-list Inititives already started ( www.openr.net )

every attempt to help the community must be honored.

well, i might enlighten my findings just now,
i've started a project called ABR

Alternate Battlefield Ranking.

featuring, Unlocks, Stats (ingame thru BFHQ ) , Ranks, Awards ... The Works!
more info on ABR on www.bf2scripts.com

oh!, and about to be banned from ea rankings isnt that bad if you know there is an alternative!!!!!

This is cool, How can I achieve this for a LAN server using patch 1.02 ?

Dont think you can, you need the internet to serve the unlock code to the dedicated server.


what you can do is start your lan server, and run netstat to give you information on what ports are opening. I do not think lan servers "check unlocks" so it may not work at all there.

This is really annoying as the LAN is on friday and everyone will be patched up so I can't unlock all weapons, global unlock wouldn't work either as we have no Internet access at the moment :'(

if you run linux 32 server i think you can try to patch bf2 file at 0AAF8F and change 75 to EB

You could try and install: http://www.devside.net/ onto the LAN server and make the host file point to the "localhost" ip, where the cgi script is hosted.

This makes your LAN server a webserver and bf2 server. Might work, give it a shot.
