Remote Console Access:
----------------------

To setup remote console access to the server:

- On the server create a new plain text document in admin called default.cfg
- Enter the following text into the new file:

port=4711
password=YourPassword

- Save the file, and start the server.
Now you can access the server remotely by using the following commands from a client:

- rcon login
Use this command to login to the server.

- rcon users
This command lists all the users connected to the server. Very similar to admin.listPlayers

- rcon exec
Replace with a console command you would like to execute on the server.
For example: rcon exec admin.kickPlayer 3


All weapons:
------------
Use a text editor to edit the "unlocks.py" file in the "pythonbf2stats" folder.
Change line 44 from "defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]" to "
defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]".

Faster game loading:
--------------------
Enter the "\ea games\battlefield 2 demo\mods\bf2\movies" folder and delete or
move all of its files. There will now be no ads or movies at the start of the game.
This can also speed up the menu because there will be no movie in background.
This code can also be done in the demo version of the game.

Hints:

Play BF2 In a Window
To play Battlefield 2 in a window, right click your Battlefield 2 shortcut.
In the Target section, change "+ fullscreen 1" to "+ fullscreen 0" You will
get a windowed version of the game.

tay outside the map border forever!
This glitch allows you to stay outside of the map forever, where you should
normally hear the "Where do you think you are going soldier..." message.

You can do this with a friend for example by making a squad together.
What you do is this: The squadleader goes out into the red zone where you
hear the previously mentioned message and you spawn in on him. You can stay
outside the map forever. Have your friend die and leave the squad so you become
squad leader and let him spawn in on you. Now the two of you can stay outside
and never die from the out of bound penalty.
(Only works on earlier patches)


Easy scoring:
-------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before
proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "scoringCommon.py" in the
"\ea games\battlefield 2\mods\bf2\python\game\" folder.
In this file you will see score list for different events, which can be changed as desired.
Be careful, as it also works for enemy soldiers.

example:
SCORE_KILL = 50
SCORE_TEAMKILL = 40

The same thing can be done for the "gpm_cq.py" file in the
"ea games\battlefield 2\mods\bf2\python\game\gamemodes" folder.

example:
TAKEOVERTYPE_CAPTURE = 100
TAKEOVERTYPE_NEUTRALIZE = 200


First weapon unlock:
--------------------
To unlock your first weapon you must gain 1,000 global points on ranked servers.
You will not gain any of the points you have earned in a server unless you play
until the round is over (until the map changes or a team wins). When you have reached
over 1,000 global points in your BFHQ window, quit the game and return for a special
pop up window congratulating you on your new rank and a message stating that you can
now unlock your first weapon. Be very cautious on which one you unlock, as you will
not be able to change it afterwards. The next rank requires 10,000 global points.

Engineers: Getting mines:
-------------------------
Use your wrench to remove enemy and friendly mines to add them to your inventory.

Saving the Medic:
-----------------
When in a squad, it is very important to have a Medic with you. However when that
Medic dies, all is not lost. Go over to your downed Medic and pick up his kit.
Then, revive him. He will now have your old kit, but at least your squad will still
have a Medic.
