OK! This is for all you brainiacs out there.
With the influx of new mods comming out for BF2 a need for a dedicated Mod Manager has arisen.
THE REASON...
I have been making DEDICATED LAN SERVERS RUNNING MODS WITH 64 BOTS (COOP)...i.e project reality.
I can start the server no worries (server box) and play myself (Via another PC) on my server if i connect to the internet first (online account) and select the "CONNECT TO IP" button.
THIS IS BAD FOR LANS because i can only have 3 PPL + SERVER hooked into my ADSL ROUTER and the usage comes out of my bandwidth limit.
When only 3 out of 18 ppl can play then it's not very LAN friendly.
Sometimes we don't have internet access at all when lanning.
THE OUTLINE...
I invisage the mod manager to have 6 core functions.
1. User selects the path to their BF2\MODS folder.
2. User selects a mod.
3. User selects an account to use (can be an online or offline account).
4. User inputs the IP and Port number of the server they want to connect to.
5. User can SAVE this information as a profile, LOAD and DELETE the profile as well.
6. Have a CONNECT button that launches the chosen Mod with the chosen account and connects to the server IP and port number that was supplied.
If anyone can do this then plz Help out the community by making it
Or if anyone knows of one already done then plz reply with relevant details.
