Hey everyone,

It is a pleasure for us to introduce you today to our latest mod project called Crysis 2 Pro. The planning for this project started short after the release of the final Crysis Wars EX version and it will still take a while till we can show you some footage of the actual modification.

While C2Pro itself stays in pre-production until the official MOD SDK has been released we have decided to already start supporting the community by working on an admin interface that allows server administrators to manage their game servers.

External Admin Interface
The production for this tool began short after the release of Crysis 2 and therefore the first releases will be all declared as beta versions until the tool is stable and contains all planned features.

The goal for the first version was to build a base we can work with and therefore only basic features like changing CVars or changing a map have been integrated. Future versions will contain an improved interface and more options to administrate your server.

Thanks man. Will test it sooner or later.

As for the people that don't have Rcon setup right, this might help: http://tinyurl.com/65wq9kg

Good to see you again

Hi, I'm trying to use this server tool, but all I ever get is "Cannot connect to server" error message.
I know the information im putting in the boxes is correct because my friend is able to connect.
I have read that there is a buggy issue so you should tab to the next fields, i have tried this many times. still cant connect.
I thought maybe my anti-virus software/firewall was interefering so i allowed all ports, and even temporary disabled and still got "cannot connect to server"

Any suggestions would be appreciated right now

cheers

have the same got both ports and nothing works looks like all isp have different configs

hmm, well i am using the same ip,pass,game port and http port as my friend (who signed up to rent the server)

i am completely new to server administration.

obviously the ip and pass are still going to be the same.

but is it possible i need a different game port and http port because i am with a different isp?

how would i find this information?

also, they just realease version 0.3 still get same error message

Hi everyone,

Sorry I could not answer before. You can check with your server providers if you are unsure about the data you have to enter. All server providers should have the tool.

Also true we released version 0.3 some days ago including these changes:

- Removed “kick” from commands list
- Removed “ban” from commands list
- Enabled “Players” tab with players list, kick and ban buttons
- Enabled “status” command to recover players list periodically (status gets refreshed every 10 seconds)
- Changed user interface to fit with the new tab

- Sven

my isp told me they cant help me with this because crytek isnt supporting on this mailed them yesterday again that thats BS and i want my information to get my server atleast cheat free

but without help from I3d i cant do anything!

Hello everyone,

If you are sure about the data, the problem should be the connection.
If you are not sure, then the first thing to do is verify with your server provider the command line used to start the server in order to make sure it is starting the http service.

ShadowTitan, do you have a proxy?
The tool still does not support connections though proxy, so this may be the problem.

Best Regards,
TheBlackDead

That′s right. The tool is not supported by Crytek but what they can do is tell you if the data you have is correct and what they can tell you too is if the command line is correct. Means if they have added +http_startserver(right) in their command line or -http_startserver(wrong). I had that problem myself and this is why my tool wasn′t working on my own server.

Try it that way: RCon and HTTP are the ways people can administrate their servers. They should check if their own data is correct and if they can connect to the server themselves. If it works for them then it should work for you as well.

A new version is available. It includes a new tab to manage the reserved slots, error messages and log files.

The changelog and downloadlink are in my first post. You can also use the update button on the splash screen if you have already an older version on your PC.

@ cry-c4te

i use this program and it works great but 2 questions.

i cant save my login details any fix soon?

how can i change settings

for example

g_pinglimit how can i set that?

do i need to use the box arguments for that?

mabey you can explain to me how i can set ping limit with eai 0.4?

so far keep up the good job it works good

edit

i see reserved slot system on eai 0.4 dont work yet? any eta when you have that working ?

Ping limit can either be set in the .cfg with your server or by using the command box.

IE: click on the g_pinglimit command and type 300 in the box then press send and a ping limit of 300 is then set.

This actually is no bug but we are working on it together with some other improvements. We let you know as soon as we are done with it.

i see reserved slot system on eai 0.4 dont work yet? any eta when you have that working ?

The system is working. But you can only use it if have the system enabled. This can be either done in your cfg or with this tool. Go to the Commands tab and scroll down to the last command in the list (net_reserved_slot_system) and set it to 1. Now you can edit your reserved slots.

ahh got it great thx keep up the good work!

Good job guys! Keep it up!
The tool is getting better and better for every update you guys make

they only thing i hope to see someday is a say function, type in a short text and send it to the server so we can send a message to the players in our game without having to be in the game, if you know what i mean.

Like the old sv_say command in original Crysis?

That would have to be something done by Crytek unless we get a lot of modding tools over the summer...

Flamers

Is there any chance that this tool could toggle sv_timeofdayenable?

i want to add this commands to my config without using this tool, how they works?

g_tk_punish
g_tk_punish_limit
g_punishfriendlydeaths

this tool is great, but i had some problems after "hot" changing map/gametype, server unexpectedly ends one game and starts another, only full server reinstall can fix this problem (v0.3)

tk_punish is for off and 1 for on
tk_punish_limit is how many tk's until kick (I choose 5)

punishfriendlydeaths means it slays the player if they tk

Flamers

thanks for answer, i have one more problem:

- Added command "g_idlekicktime"

doesn't work for me, sending this command from programm or adding to server config, nothing

I haven't been able to fully test it but it should for like this:

G_idlekicktime 600 should mean 5 minutes

Flamers

no, 600 don't work, same as 1, 0... 1000

I'll have a play with it today and see if I can come up with an answer

Flamers

*Bump for server admins*
