I ve some problems by installing a offline rank server .... I used install notes from http://battlefieldsingleplayer.planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8533 i do all like written but at the end nothing starts when i try to use the .ink files from desktop
I yust installt it to with some problems could you explane yours a littel more If I'm correct you can connect to the server but don't get any ranks / awards my solution was to use the .vbs from this thread edit the vbs like this 18 : strHostsFile = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SystemRoot%") & \system32\drivers\etc\hosts.ics" 27 : strLookupAddr = "" //on server this shoud be 127.0.0.1 123 : objShell.Run "BF2.EXE" & strArgs, 0, True //on server use insted BF2_W32ded.exe to let statistics apear the script must only run on the server the clients only need the script to unlock and see the bfhq waht isn't possible with offline accounts in any case
Nx3 - Another option is to use the HOSTS.ics file instead, and then you don't have to do any weird VBS stuff. Just search the forums, and you'll see what I'm talking about
