BF2 Server Monitor - Sick of Full Servers?! Check this tool out: BF2ServerWatch
Hello everyone. If you're like me, you have a few select servers that you try to always play on. The only problem is, they seem to be everyone's favorite and are typically full.
I got rather sick of trying over and over to connect to these full servers. Let's face it, the "Server Select" interface is slow, and you could be missing out on those precious free slots...
Anyway, I wrote a tool over the last couple of days that will monitor a server and let you know when a slot frees up. Just run it in the background, click "Start Monitoring", fire up your game and when you hear the 5 "dings", a slot just became available and you can immediately join (either by entering the IP and clicking join, or in your favorites).
There's some caveats to it right now: 1. only supports default ports (most of the good servers use defaults anyway), 2. I limit it to 1,000 polls before giving up. That way someone doesn't accidently leave it running. 1,000 polls is about 15 minutes of monitoring. 3. it stops monitoring after it sees a free slot. Maybe later I'll put a delay option, giving you enough time to fire up BF2 and get "ready".
Feel free to download it at http://bfvrental.com/BF2ServerWatch.exe and give me a shout if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Happy BF2ing!
