• Admin Commands

You can choose from a selection of time outs:

- Entering 'perm' means that the ban is permanent. This is the default if no time out is entered.
- An integral number meaning the number of seconds the ban will be active (i.e. 3600 means one hour).
- Entering 'round' means the ban is active until the next map.
- A whole number preceded by a colon (i.e. :1234567), meaning the epoch expiration time of the ban (number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970).

• Airborne ribbon

Fly in an airplane at an altitude of 350 meters, then jump out. Parachute all the way down you should get the Airborne ribbon.

• All weapons

Use a text editor to edit the "unlocks.py" file in the "\python\bf2\stats" folder. Change line 44 from "defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]" to "defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]".

• Cheat Codes

During the game, press the tilde key ( ~ ) and type one of the following codes:

Code - Effect

renderer.drawfps 1 - Shows your FPS in-game

• Engineers: Getting mines

Use your wrench to remove enemy and friendly mines to add them to your inventory.

• 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.

• 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.

• Maplist Commands

mapList.list: Every map on the server has an ID number, which is used for voting to change maps. This command lists those numbers, the map name, game mode and the number of players if specified.

mapList.configFile: Used to specify the location of the _mapList.con The default is \My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\ServerConfigs\

mapList.load: Makes the server reload the _mapList.con

mapList.save: Saves the current map list on the server to the file _mapList.con

mapList.mapCount: Shows the total number of maps in the current map list

mapList.currentMap: Shows the map list ID number of the current map being played

mapList.clear: Clears the current map list. Warning: If there are no maps in the map list when the server starts loading a new map, all clients will be left on the loading screen.

mapList.remove: Removes the map you specify from the map list

mapList.append: [number of players] Add a new map to the end of the map list. You must specify the map name and the game mode. Number of players is optional, if not specified will default to the current server setting.

mapList.insert: [number of players] Exactly the same as mapList.append, but with this command you can specify at what map ID number to insert the new map into the list at.

• 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

• Rename your soldier

To rename your soldier, which the game by default does not allow you to do, you must edit the file "\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Profile.con" and change the first value, in the quotes, to whatever you wish your soldier's name to be. For example, change:

LocalProfile.setName "defaultPlayer"

to

LocalProfile.setName "[your new name]"

• Unlock weapons easily

To unlock all the special weapons, you can start different profiles for each of the kit types. This is much more efficient if you are not worried about rank, because the first weapon unlock comes at 1,000 points, but the second comes at 10,000 points. You can get all the kit unlocks before you even hit 10,000 total kills. Note: You must have multiple email accounts to be able to create more than one profile.
