How do I manage my Battlefield 2/2142 server? (Without the BF2CC) last updated on the 2/9/2007
This article will help you setup basic admin for your
Art of War Central Battlefield 2 ranked or unranked server.
To begin editing your server files you may use our file
management system found via our manage link on our account management system.
This will load our server manager and give you access to our file management
system. Our file management system is great for editing text based configuration
files.
REMOTE CONSOLE ACCESS:
-
To activate remote console the password must be set in the default.py
file that is located in the Admin folder via the file management. The file can
be edited by clicking on it. The section that must be edited is shown below:
This is how the section you must edit looks by default

options = {
'port':
'4711',
'password': None,
# True
if multiple commands should be processed in one update and
# if as
many responses as possible should be sent each update.
'allowBatching':
False
} |
You must edit the password line to set the remote admin
password. Make sure to place a ‘ before and after the selected password. DO
NOT MODIFY ANY OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS FILE!
