BF3 admin mod?

[Riddick51PB]

with cs 1.6 servers, there was an admin mod called amxx mod. there was also admin mod. you could install either of these to actually run on the server itself.

my question is: is there an admin mod for BF3 which actually runs *on the server itself*? i know there's ProCon, BF3CC, BFCommander, but i get the impression they do not actually run on the game server itself and must run on my pc remotely.

any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.


my gratuitus nfo server for BF3:
24/7 Metro RAGE RUSH by NFO

They do not have an admin mod yet, besides I do not think they are supporting mods on BF3....but I could be mistaken.

Procon offers plugins. Though there aren't any specifically made for BF3 right now, there will be in the near future (I would imagine).

I would give it another couple weeks, right now Procon plugins are just BF2BC plugins, made to work (sort of) with BF3, though many functions/commands do not work.

EA stated that they will not support modding. rather that they would look into that option once all the bugs are gone and the servers and game play our stable. thats why a lot of stuff is missing or disabled.

[zaNe]

EA never said such thing.

Perhaps you're referring to actual modification of game files. Such as creating a "mod" - not a plugin. (Think Desert Combat, for BF42 - THAT was a Mod.)

As with BC2, BF3 has an admin protocol to allow for remote admin instead of running code directly on the server. All software that you see (our daemon, Procon, BF3CC, etc) uses this same interface. I have not heard of any plan for EA/DICE to add the ability to run the type of DLL-based addons supported by other games.

sounds like its smarter to run the administration remotely. that way there isn't any more programs dragging down the gameserver and it can just focus on high performance.

thank you all for your input

does NFO have plans to make a push button type admin system, so we dont have to issue command lines and know players exact names and spellings....

[Edge100x]

We can consider it.

You don't know a player's exact name -- any unique part of it is enough.

You can run Procon on a server so it runs all the time if you don't want to use your pc consistantly.

We run Procon on our unmanaged server and using 2 plugins for BF3.
Automated messaging and auto balancer.
Our game admins have been assigned their own remote logins to access Procon on our unmanaged server.

More plugins will come as they are adapted to work with BF3.
Pretty much the same plugins from BFBC2 but have to be modded to BF3.

cool! i have one simple request: can you link me to the specific auto balancer that you're using? i saw several balancers at phogue/procon but i didn't know if either of them actually worked with BF3. much appreciated!

Just added a Country allowed/disallowed plugin tonight that is working.

[Riddick51PB]

yes i installed that country kicker, what a lifesaver. had a dude from china connecting, he was pinging 300ms, no more of that

question: can i install a new plugin while procon is already running? can i just drop the files in their respective places and it won't boot everyone off the server?

[.=QUACK=.Major.Pain]

You can put it in the right folders, but you have to restart Procon to see the plugin.
Then set it up before you enable it. Once enabled, it should do what it is supposed to do.
