Installation of the B3 plugin:
###################################################################################

To install the b3-plugin part:

1. Unzip the contents of this package. Go to the unzipped folder extplugins and
place the .py file in the bots folder b3/extplugins and the config file .xml in
the b3/extplugins/conf folder.

2. Open the .xml file with your favorit editor and modify the
levels if you want them different. Do not edit the command-names
for they will not function under a different name.

3. Open your B3.xml file (in b3/conf) and add the next line in the
<plugins> section of the file:

<plugin name="poweradminbfbc2" priority="13" config="@b3/extplugins/conf/poweradminbfbc2.xml"/>

The numer 13 in this just an example. Make sure it fits your
plugin list.

One command I know tons would love

!hardcore
!softcore

If there could be some kind of functionality to handle a server restart and automagically reapplies the setting thats selected that would be awesome.

If that couldnt be done, perphaps some logic to !hardcore that does it like this:

!hardcore is called

Is server hardcore?
Yes - Return nothing to do
No - Issue commands to bring hardcore + Issue map restart after completion of commands

Doing it that way would allow me to give lower level people in my clan who dont qualify for admin the ability to reset the server incase of my absence

No other BC2 admin tool does this at the moment.

With R9 they added so hardcore can only be applied at server startup.
But it would be fairly simple to add the actual dvars except for the health level that is applied in hardcore.

I wish, R9 did nothing to fix hardcore.

You still are required to use BC2CC or procon to login, enable it and nextmap it.

The variables do not load in correctly Its setup right on the control panel at gameservers.com, the config file is not loading right in the game. They have told Dice about it since the first release to no avail.

[Courgette]

with this plugin, you can use the !paset command to set your server vars 

[spacepig]

Write your commands in a textfile
upload it to your gameserver
use !runscript yourfile

[Mikobiko]

EA does not allow uploading of any files of any kind to gameservers.

[spacepig]

Yes they do/
To your config folder aswell as to your pb folder.

If your host do not allow that i would recommend to change host.

Id like to know what host is doing this so I can report the violation to EA/DICE. Gameservers.com was strictly instructed by them that no FTP of any kind was to take place.

Same goes with Hypernia and all others.

You are STRICLY prohibited from this behavior.

Hypernias offical topic:

BC2 Server File Access

Bad Company 2 will be like all the other ranked servers, you will not have access to the server files at anytime via FTP or otherwise. BC2 is taking it a step further however, as opposed to the other ranked games, with BC2 you will also not have any access to the PB folder either.

The only access you will have is to the server RCON & the config editor (A feature in the TCAdmin web control panel).

[spacepig]

This is probably the biggest misconception everybody seem to have so far.
No, you dont have access to the serverfiles. But you do have access to your configs (txt files) aswell as your pb folder.

It would be rather silly by dice to have a command to load different mapfiles and runscript when your not allowed to add such files.

Trust me, i have a frequent contact with Dice and it is perfectly allowed to have access to such file. Just as i have with both i3d and hypernia.

[Bakes]

As an example, this is my control panel on Multiplay (the largest GSP in the UK, over 5000 active servers, hosters of the successful 'i' lan series).

I can upload files, edit config files etc, and I can access the config folder and the pb folder (eg pbucon). It's not against DICE's rules, since I can't access the server files. Gameservers have just interpreted the rules differently.

If your host do not allow that i would recommend to change host.

[Mikobiko]

We have ability to edit such files, just not upload them.
