BC2 Guardian is an application that does not require installation on your computer.
Just unpack the program to any created directory. To start you must have such data as:
Server IP number
Admin port
Admin password
You can get these data from GSP from whom you purchased the server.
After adding a server to BC2 Guardian, in the program directory a setting.xml file is created
where you can find these data.
An example settings.xml file looks like this
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ? >
- <Settings>
- <Servers>
- <Server>
<ServerName>G4G.pl hosted by....</servername>
<ServerIP>92.43.xx.xx</serverip >
<ServerAdminPort>48888</servera dminport>
<ServerPasswordHashed>--Basjdqwes< /serverpasswordhashed>
</server>
</servers>
</settings>
After entering the data click on the button "connect".
Proper connection to the server will be shown in the bottom part of the window.

Currently the program supports following functions:
Multiple game servers
List of players, divided into teams, with a separate clan tags
Support for common server variables such as the number of available slots, the password on the server, game modes, killcams, minimap, hardcore mode, aim sight, etc.
Ban list support - by IP or by player nick - list of banned saved to a file.
(Note: banning currently crashes game server. This error has been reported to DICE)
Chat console - with the possibility of sending messages to a specific player.
Console events - events recorded from the game like join / leave / kill, etc.
Commands in the game! Issued in the chat line with "@" prefix. For example:
@ kick kick a player from the server
@ say send a message to all players
Reserve slots - at the moment, this option does not work with DICE servers.Map list settings with game modes (rush, conquest, etc.)
Control Panel of Punk Buster.
Censor
Maplist function
The list of supported functions will be changed depending on the version of our software.

BC2CC launches!
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.

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.
