A public stats backend and login services have been put online following the new release of BF2Statistics V3.1.0 A BIG thanks to @Wilson212 for all his hard work through the years. This system is 15 years old, so why not celebrate - The ASP backend is currently running on: https://bf2web.bf2statistics.com/ASP - The Gamespy services on: https://bf2web.bf2statistics.com, so you can use this to create an account and play online. - BF2 Linux Server running on: It's currently running in Ranked mode, so players needed to start is 8 (so bring your friends) To play on this server you should use the Gamespy Redirector to redirect the GameSpy requests to these services. This is the settings for Provider: This is the settings for the server: Any feedback or bug reports are welcome. Enjoy!
Hi MrNiceGuy. I was able to login but only using the "Auto Join Server" option. This BF2 server is not showing-up in the BF2 server browser list.
Hi @Sunnyghost, are all ports open in your firewall? I cannot recall what ports are for the serverlist, but as long as the hosts file entries are there, it should work. Have a look around, see if you figure something out. I'll be back later today.
Yes. I am using BF2 hub for our main server ( First-Legion ) and we are running our own ranking system ( BF2Statistics V3.1.0 ). I created an extra service provider in GamespyRedirector for BF2statistics.com. When I choose BF2 hub or First-Legion as service provider, BF2 starts and after selecting "Multiplayer", a list of available servers are shown. When I select BF2statistics.com as my service provider, BF2 "hangs" for a several seconds after selecting "Multiplayer" and no servers are listed.
@MrNiceGuy: If you need 6 or 8 idle bots to get your server started, just give me 6 or 8 names I can put those bots in if you like. I can let them connect to your server so you can do more testing if needed.
That's weird, not sure what would be causing this. Are you able to test if any of the required ports are blocked?
I have ( paid for it ) a program thats putting BOTS on your server . You need name password ipaddress and portnumber of the BF2 server to connect to. They never log-in but stay in the connecting state.
All ports are open. I am using GamespyRedirector for all servers I connect to. BF2HUB servers and my own ranked servers. I think all needed ports are open already.
There is a known issue with the Gamespy master server I made that prevents servers from populating for some clients in the server browser. I will work on a fix. In the mean time, the following ports need to be open on the computer that is hosting the Gamespy emulator: 27900 (udp), 28910, 29900, 29901 and 29910 (udp)
These ports are open on my BF2Statistics server. ( The gamespy emulator in instaled on this server too ). I haven't had any problems with server browser listing, neither the other players. Could be the solution for MrNiceGuy too All these ports are TCP/UDP at my firewall/router.
@MrNiceGuy If you have changed settings, just let me know and i will try again to login and see if your server will appear in the serverbrowser list.
I'm currently working on a pre script for CSF firewall, this is what i got so far: Code: # Battlefield 2 # UDP iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m multiport --dports 27900,27901 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp -m multiport --sports 27900,27901 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 16567:16570 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 29900:29910 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 55123:55135 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 1500:4999 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 1024:1124 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --dport 16567:16570 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --dport 29900:29904 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --dport 55123:55135 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --dport 1500:4999 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --dport 1024:1124 -j ACCEPT # TCP iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dports 27900,28910,29910,29960,4711,4712,18000,18300 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --sports 27900,28910,29910,29960,4711,4712,18000,18300 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1024:1124 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 1024:1124 -j ACCEPT Did i miss anything? *Edited Should be working now.
Correct,it is TCP. This port is the server listing port, and probably why the server isn't showing up.
Right, i had a peek in the config.ini, indeed tcp. Got an error in the firewall too, so there's something fishy going on... I'll post back when it's fixed
I am using hardware firewall in stead of ip-tables. I have port 27900 28910 29900 2990 and 29910 redirected to my BF2Statistics server ( Gamespy emulator is running on the same server). besides these ports , I have redirected the gamespy port and the join port to my BF2 servers. Also RCON and BF2CC deamon ports are redirected to my BF2 servers.
I really need to write an installation guide . I also plan to rewrite the GameSpy emulator in C++ so it works on Linux natively. All ports are TCP unless specified
