[How to] Create a private server for Battlefield 2

[raver099]

Thought I might want to write a little tut. for those of you who wants to create a private server for Battlefield 2.

Here we go:

1) Download the serverfiles HERE and install them. (On your server offcourse).

2) There's a manual on this site for Battlefield Vietnam. HERE Follow the exact steps in this manual. After you've download the rar-file containing rules.tcl (step 3), edit this file in notepad. Copy & paste the following into this file, overwriting the rest of the information in this file:

# drop packets composed of small fragments
option small_frags on eth0

# default ruleset
pass in on eth0 all
pass out on eth0 all

# blocks Key-validation
block out on eth0 proto udp from any port > 1000 to any port = 29910

block in on eth0 proto tcp from any port = 1433 to any port = 1433
block in on eth0 proto tcp from any port = 1434 to any port = 1434
block in on eth0 proto udp from any port = 139 to any port = 139
block in on eth0 proto tcp from any port = 139 to any port = 139

Next, continue the steps on THIS page.

When you're done. It should all work fine, without any CD-verification.

Have fun.

[dsounds]

Thank you.
This is great, works great....only one little problem...

Gamespy blacklists server using this method too.
Is there any way around not being blacklisted on gamespy with this ?

I cant seem to find this rules.tlc in my c:\EA Games\Battlefield2 server\

what is this rar file you are talking about

[Captain Bong]

Forget the rar file, that was for the private server patch filres used for previous versions.

I have updated the links in the first post, should hopefully be a bit more useful now.

Don't forget of course formofjustice's guide HERE.

Hey !  Thx for the help Form, Capt Bong and ANGRY   !

I got my server working whit "no cd key check", but now i get "kicked because of modifi data" msg  :/  

My bf2.exe (client) is UNcracked ofcource, and I have the mini.img running at d-tools with ALL emulations. (works fine on other private servers)

Any advice ?    sry my english

Another thing..  When booting the dedi server i have to disable the bf2 >1000 udp out deny port block. and then enable the port block when booted. You guys know why the server needs theese ports open for booting ?   See ya
 
When > 1000 udp blocked I cant see the server whit hlsw (connect manager)   and can't connect.  port 16567 is also greater than 1000  :S

EDIT: I used to use this "COOP EMULATOR" that also had the option "REMOVE INTROS"  I have restored introes again and I still get "Kicked because of modified content"   Any ideas ?  -thx

[flotte]

I finally got it all working

md5 hash check disable  <---


now i need for global unlocks to work :S  and ranking system up and run.  "sv.useglobalunlock 1"  in server config, but still not working.
