Remote Console Access

To setup remote console access to the server:

- On the server create a new plain text document in admin called default.cfg
- Enter the following text into the new file:

port=4711
password=YourPassword

- Save the file, and start the server.
Now you can access the server remotely by using the following commands from a client:

- rcon login
Use this command to login to the server.

- rcon users
This command lists all the users connected to the server. Very similar to admin.listPlayers

- rcon exec
Replace with a console command you would like to execute on the server. For example: rcon exec admin.kickPlayer 3


All weapons
Use a text editor to edit the "unlocks.py" file in the "pythonbf2stats" folder. Change line 44 from "defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]" to "defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]".

Faster game loading
Enter the "\ea gamesbattlefield 2 demo\mods\bf2\movies\" folder and delete or move all of its files. There will now be no ads or movies at the start of the game. This can also speed up the menu because there will be no movie in background. This code can also be done in the demo version of the game.


During the game, press the tilde key ( ~ ) and type one of the following codes:
renderer.drawfps 1 - Shows your FPS in-game

11. When You go into options-video you should now see all settings at Ultra High Detail
12. I leave "VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme" set to 3 because when I set it to 4, it resets all other settings to 3 "High" again.
13. Also for those of you like me, if you have an LCD that natively supports 1280x1024 you can force that resolution via a shortcut command. RightClick your BattleField 2 Icon on the desktop, go to properties, Where it says target make it look like this.... "G:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 21\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024 remember, your install may not be on G: drive like mine, so change accordingly.
