    I was on the OFFICIAL EA UK ranked servers the other day with the friends and they ALL run that announce script, something tells me when its on an OFFICIAL server it must be ok switch

          Thanks Capt.HKS. The server company we get our server from locks down those files, so I guess we can't run it.

            Just ask them to copy over the original. You can also add it in modmanager too.

              these changes seem pretty good. those that whine about the punish system need to chill. i agree the punish system sucks. but i can't imagine it being better either. sure i've been kicked/banned every now and then for stupid mistakes/things i couldn't prevent and people were stupid and punished for no reason. but that just means i go to another server, play for about 30mins, then come back. wtf is the issue?

              as i see it: with punish on you then have the choice to frequently kick the real retards when necessary and have to deal with infrequently getting randomly kicked yourself. without punish on you have to frequently deal with every retard out there (and there are a lot mind you) but you don't get infrequently kicked. the choice is clear for me, turn on the TK punish system, PLEASE!!!

              also, about ff for mines/claymores. too bad it's only a suggestion.. should be a requirement. i think its preposterous to not have a mine you run over not go off and its gotten ridiculous with the claymore spam now. i should go for my expert explosives before it really gets forcibly turned back on, itd be hella easy...

              Where are you guys getting all these quotes/links from? The ranked server (not from BF2RS) I pay for didn't have any information about an ROE. I would have had no clue had I not stumbled across it here at totalbf2.com. It seems absurd to require such policies in place without requiring such information to be properly diseminated.

              Could someone politely link me to where EA has an official stance on these ROE? (zippor's just gives me a blank page..)

                Rules of Engagement [RoE]
                Beyond the server configuration settings there are many in-game policies for ranked servers. We refer to these as the Rules of Engagement, and they are managed by EA and Combat Studios on the BF2 Ranked Servers site. Due to the dynamic nature of BF2 this is a living document and subject to revisions. In the same forum there is a location to debate and discuss the RoE. These are rules driven by the community and thus feedback is imperative to keeping the RoE on track and fair.


                Well we didn't know anything about the ROE either until I signed up at BF2RS. Our host didn't tell us and still hasn't told us. I doubt 1 in 100 of the private ranked servers know anything about it.

                  Ya the exchange of information is totally bogus imo. I did read the original ROE for my ranked server when I bought it. But, my host has never received any updates nor been asked what they thought of these changes. Until my provider says other wise. I'll ignore any changes to the ROE.

                      I'm so ****ed right now. I read all five pages of this thread, and at no point does anyone even mention fish eggs or that little river. Talk about a let down.

                      Also, I noticed a few pages ago that someone used the term "racisim" inappropriately. Just something that irks me. People love to throw words like "racisim" and "racist" around, but the majority of the time they're dead wrong and have no idea what the actual words really mean.

                        So, hks. Where does it say that this script is ok for use? I assume you sent an email and a dev replied ok. Or did you go to BF2RS and they asked for you? If the latter...WHY THE HELL IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE INDIAN? Why was this not put in to the almighty ROE? I have been asking about running these scripts since last october. Is this the only "Official Ranked .py mod", or are there others?

                          wouldn't mind all these rules if they didn't run a server monopoly in countries such as england, i believe multiplay and jolt are the only two providers basically meaning they can name the price they want.

                          utter bollocks if you ask me.

                            I answered your question on TS switch but for the rest we sent this script into EA for approval via our host and got the thumbs up to run it. I believe it has also since then been announced on the BF2RS site somewhere too as being ok.

                            BF2RS originally told me we couldn't run that script because of changing the game files, but, never say never.

                              hold on, are you asking: why don't we know that certain scripts can be used on ranked servers that aren't official default code?

                              back up a second... why don't we all know the ROE exists?

                              there is clearly a communication diseminating problem EA/DICE/BF2RS has. whatever. **** happens; i know the corporate world and if this is the worst of their problems they are golden. but it's not, so chances are it won't be resolved anytime soon.

                              but that said, it would be cool to have some official place "acceptable scripts" would be listed to peruse through. can we get something going here at totalbf2.com someplace? could put a link to the script, and a link to whatever reference we can find that clarifies from EA that it's okay to use that particular script/etc.

                              maybe Shawn could help out here also?

                                So you still lose points when you accidentally TK even if the person forgives you right?
