BF3 Server - Admins and Founders

[SlipperyDuck]

OK, so protect Jarrod (keep his login private since it holds the actual account) and still allow us to fiddle with BF3 backend Server Admin; I've created two additional Admin accounts.

These Accounts can fully configure, restart and load MODS if neccessary for our BF3 Server, see below:
*NOTE, I cannot specify login name, rather it assigns a name and I assigned a password and what the account can do.

Login: 942842a
Pass: grrr34t

Login: 942842b
Pass: grrr34t


Here are some Admin screen examples:
* NOTE FTP ACCESS IS SIMPLY NOT AN OPTION AT ALL FOR BF3 @ THE MOMENT.

Sweet Lee! On a side note has any one played on the server lately? I tried to find it the other day but it wasn't showing up on the list

[SlipperyDuck]

yeah it's weird, sometimes you search for it and it doesnt show. Then you try remove all other filters and search and it IS there.... something not right with the battlelog thing....gonna add it to my Favorites instead.


BTW: you can use PROCON / BF3CC / BFCOMMANDER to admin

You connect by using:

IP 196.28.169.11


PORT 25210


username (blank)


PASSWORD 942842

Setting needed to be added to Startup to make the server unranked: vars.ranked "false"

Thanks Shadey.

YOu can't change/switch to a map using the Web-interface so we need to decide on the best program to use to control the server. This info needs to be shared amoungst us so that we aren't dependant on a person to set up the server. I suggest 2 people per team at least.

Nutz: skoup and Shadey

Baggers : Hubris and Phatso

Lee is default and any other admin

I use BF Commander but it seems quite limited. Although easy to use. I suggest Phatso if he has the times, figurs out PROCON , if he is happy with it then gives the rest a bit of a run down.

For just in case as a stand-in back-up for Sheri or Skoups or Baggers:

I downloaded and installed PROCON (on my old pc) and read through the manual and took a tour around the programme and it makes sense (so far). Just wasn't sure if I missed something when it came to the Plug-ins wrt the Map Tab.

Would be nice if I can confirm my limited knowledge and know I am on the right page, should I be needed to assist at any stage.

MAPS are in the LIST Tab....non-intuative

MAPS are in the LIST Tab....non-intuative

Ja, I saw those. The Manual covers maps somewhere too and thought it might be relevant, but not.
