Admin Commands

admin.listPlayers: Lists the players connected to the server. This command lists the players ID number, their player name and if the player is remote it also lists the players IP number. The players ID number is also available on the Scoreboard / Manage Tab
admin.runNextLevel: Forces the server to end the round and start the next map in the map list.
admin.currentLevel: Shows the map list ID number for the current map being played. The same as mapList.currentMap.
admin.nextLevel: Shows the map list ID number for the next map to be played.
admin.restartMap: Restarts the current map.
admin.banPlayer: [timeout] Enter the player ID number you would like to ban. Bans the player from this server by using their IP address.

- Bans can be set on CD key hashes.
- Bans are stored as absolute times in banlist.con. Existing bans in banlist.con will be interpreted as permanent bans.

You can choose from a selection of time outs:

- Entering 'perm' means that the ban is permanent. This is the default if no time out is entered.
- An integral number meaning the number of seconds the ban will be active (i.e. 3600 means one hour).
- Entering 'round' means the ban is active until the next map.
- A whole number preceded by a colon (i.e. :1234567), meaning the epoch expiration time of the ban (number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970).

admin.banPlayerKey: [timeout] Enter the player ID number you would like to ban. Bans the player from this server by using their CD key hash. You can also specify a time out. See admin.banPlayer for the time out list.

All weapons
Use a text editor to edit the "unlocks.py" file in the "\python\bf2\stats" 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 games\battlefield 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.

Maplist Commands
mapList.list: Every map on the server has an ID number, which is used for voting to change maps. This command lists those numbers, the map name, game mode and the number of players if specified.

mapList.configFile: Used to specify the location of the _mapList.con The default is \My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\ServerConfigs\

mapList.load: Makes the server reload the _mapList.con

mapList.save: Saves the current map list on the server to the file _mapList.con

mapList.mapCount: Shows the total number of maps in the current map list

mapList.currentMap: Shows the map list ID number of the current map being played

mapList.clear: Clears the current map list. Warning: If there are no maps in the map list when the server starts loading a new map, all clients will be left on the loading screen.

mapList.remove: Removes the map you specify from the map list

mapList.append: [number of players] Add a new map to the end of the map list. You must specify the map name and the game mode. Number of players is optional, if not specified will default to the current server setting.

mapList.insert: [number of players] Exactly the same as mapList.append, but with this command you can specify at what map ID number to insert the new map into the list at.

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
