Bad Company 2 Admin Tool Beta Now Available

[CptainCrunch]

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)

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.

Bravo DICE!

Good job, looks much better than BF2CC. Hopefully the bugs will be ironed out in the upcoming weeks.

Bravo DICE!

As far as I know DICE did not create this tool.

[Rogue Warrior]

Dice is creating their own basic tools, but they are leaving it up to the rest of the community. They stated this weeks back, and anytime a protocol update is released , it will be made public for the community

Then i will direct my "Bravo DICE" simply at producing a good game

[GeneralPatton]

I suspect we now need to wait for the new release considering the game has been patched.

I loved BF2CC, I expect the same with BC2CC

all I know is I ordred early,waited long,and installed twice,and it still doesn't go past the Aurora rubber boat scene,or past the very start of any map.
If this is going to take a bunch of mega patches,just send my money back,and tell me where to send this piece of ,,,,,game

Well jtbh,

Since many already played through the entire sp campaign a few days ago, I think its safe to say its not the design of the game but an actually problem on your end. Thats just a hunch, you might start there.
