Bad Company 2 Admin Tool Beta Now Available
Scinto submitted this news on the BC2CC tool:
After several weeks in development we are finally ready to unveil the first public beta (Beta 0.8 of the Bad Company 2 CC tool.}After several weeks in development we are finally ready to unveil the first public beta (Beta 0. of the Bad Company 2 CC tool.
This version is only compatible with the R1 version of the game (release version). We will have a patch available by the time R3 (The day 1 patch) version becomes available that fixes the majority of bugs and adds a large amount of new features.
Here's an overview of what our tool is capable of in its limited R1 state:
BC2CC Admin tool features:
Multiple server support: working
Playerlist: working but not split by team (information isn’t returned in R1)<!--more-->
Serveroptions: only used to set a game password right now
Map list: working, next map is still wonky in R1, occasionally works, other times it doesn’t it also loads a random map in the maplist instead of the nextmap. (+ the list currently doesn’t update when switching gamemodes, that’s our tool, patch for that tomorrow)
Reserved slots: fully working
Banlist: Working, but gets cleared after a restart, haven’t tested with R3 yet. Removing individual bans doesn’t work in R1. Should work in R3. To remove a ban now you’ll need to clear the entire banlist.
Ingame commands: Fully working, you can whitelist players to use specific ingame commands. (@kick, @ban, @unban (doesn’t work at the moment), @restart map, @nextmap (wonky doesn’t always work))
Known bugs:
- unbanning individual players doesn’t work (you need to clear all bans to remove them)
- Maplist doesn’t update properly
- nextmap doesn’t always work
- Playerlist doesn’t show teams
- Ingame commands currently only work when SOMEONE has the tool opened, they aren’t shared between tools (Won’t be supported till we build the serverside daemon)
- Occasional crash bugs
- Ingame vars cannot be set till R3
- Only set password is supported on the serveroptions page
- Punkbuster cannot be set yet (will be supported shortly after the R3 release through an additional tab with all pb options)
- Updater always prompts that there is an update (semi bug, we have a higher version number listed already, will ask the guys to remove this for now)
We hope this tool gives server administrators the tools they need for the first few days of launch till the R3 patch is released. After this we will release a more extended toolset that allows for full server control.
Visit our download section to download beta 0.8.
Be sure to check this out for those getting their servers ready.
UPDATE: Version 1.0 will be out tomorrow following the Day 1 patch. Be sure to check back.
