Unlocks on lan?

[Fishie36]

Hi, I have a battlefield 2 lan party coming up and I want to be able to use my hard earned unlocks. I will be hosting a non-dedicated server on lan and everyone playing will be using an online account with internet access. And remember, this isn't for all unlocks, only the earned ones :p

what does the global unlocks thing do, i think that might help you, if it does what i think it does.

Use Global Unlocks will basically allow anyone on the land to use items that they have previously unlocked -- the poster is trying to set it up so that anyone there can use ANY unlock

No, you got it backwards. I want people to be able to use only unlocks that they earned. That would be global unlocks, no? Now how do I enable it on a non-dedicated server.

If I recall correctly,

You need to change 3 things in ServerSettings.con:

sv.internet 1
sv.useGlobalRank 1
sv.useGlobalUnlocks 1

You HAVE to have the internet set to 1, so the server can go retrieve the Global stuff from the servers.

This should give your players their legitimate unlocks that they have earned.

Thank you very much BigDaddyTX! I will try that as soon as possible to see how it works :) My only concern is that people might not be able to join through the LAN but we'll see.

If you set it up as a dedicated server, or launch it form within BF2 as a local server, they'll see it in the "join local" list.

The only time it won't show is if you're running a MOD or a single player game that others are trying to connect to.
