What is GlinQ BF2 Manager |
|
The GlinQ BF2 manager is a set of two applications for managing and controlling Battlefield 2™ Dedicated Servers. The two applications are the BF2 Client (BF2Client.exe) and the BF2 Daemon (BF2Daemon for linux distributions and BF2Daemon.exe for windows). The aim of this project is building a tool which is simple to install and user friendly. Another aim was building a daemon which can be used on multiple platforms. At this moment we have tested the daemon on the Linux platform with our partner ClanPoint and we are currently search for a partner who can assist us with testing on the Windows platform. At this moment you can only manage BF2 servers but in the near future you can manage also BF2142 servers with the same tool. |

As we said before, we build two applications for controlling your server. The first one is the daemon which can start, stop, and restart your BF2 server. Besides these features it can also alter you default.cfg, serversettings.con, banlist, maplist, etc. We developed a custom made protocol which provides a interface to our client application. We used the TCP/IP stack for reliable, universal and fast communication. To ensure the Daemon is both fast and platform in dependable we used C++ as our programming language. To communicate with the Daemon we developed a client application. Our main focus was developing a user friendly application with standard Windows components to ensure compatibility with Windows Vista. We intergraded our own protocol for communication to the Daemon and we are using RCON and the Gamespy protocol to communicate directly to the BF2 server. |
