BF2CC Daemon 1.0.2049, BF2CC Client 1.0.2048 and ModManager v1.0 Released! Please go to the Downloads section for links.

This is a huge release representing many hundreds of hours of work on the BF2CC Daemon, Client and ModManager Scripts. These versions are tested to be very stable and reliable. There are many fixes and additions. Please see this post for some of the change log.

Please read the Readme_2048.txt Files included with the Daemon and Client for install instructions. There are pages and pages of documentation to come over the weekend and next week. It will take a while to get them linked up on the web site.

NOTE: We have posted BF2CC Daemon 1.0.2049 about 2 hours after 1.0.2048 was released. Version 2049 fixes the -autostart parameter. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The Daemon will support the Following Auto-Admin Features
* Smart Team Balance (Priority Based)
* Idle Player Detection with Auto-Kick
* High Ping Kick
* Auto- Warn/Kick/Ban on Banned Words
* Switch Teams at End of Round
* Auto-Messages

new version available:

** CHANGED Default Daemon Port is now set to 4712 and Default Rcon Port set to 4711. We are recommending these new ports due to
ISP's blocking 6711 & 6712 due to a common Trojan. This was causing users to have connectivity issues. If you or your
clients can't connect a client to Daemon, and you are 100% positive the port is open, we recommend changing the daemon port.

** FIXED (Client Bug) Users can now switch from Non-Ranked backed to Ranked after they have launched a NON-Ranked server with a password.
There is now a "Rankings Enabled" Check Box in the General Server Settings. This Checkbox will only be visible to users who connect
to a Daemon started with the "-ranked" parameter.
** FIXED (Client Bug) Users in "Trusted R-Con" were able to open the Admins,Auto-Admin forms, and Dashboard.
These are reserved for Daemon mode only. Toolbar Buttons are Now Disabled Properly for Trusted R-Con Mode as well.
** FIXED (Client Bug) Large Ban Times would cause an overflow error
** FIXED (Client Bug) Right Clicking on the last word of the last line in the chat window caused an overflow exception
** FIXED (Client Bug) Importing Banned Words now works better for users who paste banned words lists instead of typing them.
** FIXED (Client Bug) Exporting Banned Words only worked when exporting to an existing file
** CHANGED BF2CC.com Spam Message Interval Changed to 20 minutes
** CHANGED Auto-Messages are now based on a rotating/looping system with dynamic delay per message. Delay is in SECONDS now instead of Minutes
Make sure you EDIT your Auto-Message Delays to account for Seconds!
** CHANGED (Client) Connection timeout increased from 6 to 45 seconds to account for DNS issues.
** ADDED (Client & Windows Daemon) .NET Framework 1.1 Check
** ADDED (Client) -nosplash parameter now accepted. It disables the splash screen
** ADDED (Daemon) -dontpassthru parameter. +config, +mapList etc. are NOT passed on to the bf2_w32ded.exe process.

** KNOWN ISSUE: Using PB kicks does NOT always work 100% of the time. We have narrowed this down to a bug in PunkBuster. To verify this,
you can try a command 'pb_sv_kick "playername"' directly into the console of the BF2 dedicated server when BF2CC is unabled
to perform a PB Kick on a player. You will see that PB errors out. Unfortunately, we are unable to parse PB output due to another PB bug. This means that for now
BF2CC will be unaware of the inability to PB kick a player. You can deselect the 'Use PB Kicks' option in the options of the BF2CC
client and do a regular manual kick to get that player off of your server.
** NOTE: The Daemon <-> Client version checking has not been updated for this version. This is to allow users who need a longer connection timeout
to use the new client with the old daemon until their Provider updates the daemon. The only feature that won't work correctly is the
auto-messages. They will still work using the old method but not the new rotating message system.

** Patch 1.03 Compatible
** ModManager Updated to 1.0a (Included in the Daemon download and in the Downloads section now too)
** FIXED (MM) Vehicle Names now work again. DICE removed a crucial object parent function from constants.py

** ADDED OLD Daemon Logs can now be retrieved from the Daemon remotely by the BF2CC client. Logs are saved for 30 days.
** ADDED Clients can now "Restore the Default Profile" using the "File --> Restore Default Profile on Daemon" menu choice. This
will delete all *.profile files on the daemon and restore the default.profile from the serversettings.con. This is a method
to recover from corrupted profile files.
** FIXED Join Button now automatically logs you into your BF2 account. There is a drop down with the available profiles next to the join
button. Users will need to enter their password once, then the client will store it.

1.0.2103 ChangeLog
