Last update: 2009-04-22
================================================== =

!! IMPORTANT !!

Far Cry® 2 Multiplayer Dedicated Server is NOT SUPPORTED by Ubisoft Customer Support. We set up a forum page specifically to collect questions and comments on our Dedicated Server.

Experienced server admins and some of the game's developers monitor the forum, and are eager to help with politely-asked questions.

Table of content:

1. Starting Far Cry® 2 Dedicated Server by command line
2. Managing a Dedicated server locally
3. Managing a Dedicated server remotely
4. Command and parameters for managing a Dedicated Server locally and remotely
5. Ports used by the dedicated server

==============================================

1. Starting Far Cry® 2 Dedicated Server by command line

To start Far Cry® 2 Dedicated Server by command line prompt:

1 - Navigate to your Farcry 2 install path (usually in Program Files).
2 - Navigate into the bin folder
3 - Type "fc2serverlauncher.exe".

This will launch the dedicated server with default options. If you wish to customize the options, you can launch it with "fc2serverlauncher.exe -dedicated server/dedicated_server.cfg". This file should be located in your "My Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2\Server" folder. If you wish to store the file elsewhere, just specify the absolute path towards it. For example fc2serverlauncher.exe -dedicated "D:\myserver\dedicated_server.cfg" .

*NOTE* : the server.cfg file is now deprecated and no longer used.

===============================================

2. Managing a Dedicated server locally

SetSetting
Allows admin to change settings locally.

For example:

SetSetting gamemode Uprising
SetSetting minplayers 8
SetSetting friendly_fire 1
SetSetting weather_type 50
SetSetting map_cycle Last Bastion;Pit Bull;Love Shacks;Riot Control


===============================================

3. Managing a Dedicated server remotely

To manage the dedicated server remotely, you must use Far Cry® 2 the game to first connect to the server. Afterwards, you may drop down the console by hitting tilde "~", and use admin_login to login to the server and send commands afterwards.

Here is a list of commands to manage Far Cry® 2 Dedicated Server remotely:

admin_login ABCDE
Allows user to login to server
You must replace ABCDE with the password set in the remotePassword parameter (see section 4)

admin_logout
Logs out user from server

admin_setpassword
Allows admin to change the admin login password (remotePassword) once logged


Once logged in on the server remotely:

admin_setsetting
Allows admin to change settings remotely.

For example:

admin_setsetting gamemode Uprising
admin_setsetting minplayers 8
admin_setsetting friendly_fire 1
admin_setsetting weather_type 50
admin_setsetting map_cycle Last Bastion;Green House;Pit Bull;Love Shacks;Riot Control


==============================================

How do we change maps, kick players? The commands of "the old days" do not work anymore. There must be other ways instead of starting "votes" as an admin.

Man, I thought they were gonna release a server launcher extender. This is even worse than the old one. Way to go ubi !!!!!!

Is there some kind of Rcon that works with this?
Configs are a pain in the butt when remote.

As far as I can see, the admin panel has been dumbed down to the basics maybe in the hopes of making the server stable? As I used to have to do 3 restarts a day to keep it going, this would be welcomed. As it was, I turned off the PwRPlaY.com server a couple of months ago.

Anyway, the best way to kick and ban people is to use the PB browser rcon system. You can also take screen shots from a players point of view to see if they are using hacks if you suspect.
As well, you can give the password to trusted players, admins to keep the server clean.

@PwRDJ

Thx, i already thought about using PB for kicking. Can you tell me or give me link how to setup/use PB Rcon? I already tried to set this up with the guides supplied at evenbalance but i never made it to get things up and running.

The PB-Commands for kicking/banning and so on are listed here -> http://www.punksbusted.com/wik...gory:Server_Commands (http://www.punksbusted.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Server_Commands)

but at the moment i can´t use them if connected to FC2-Console as admin, because PB does not know that i´m admin i guess and wants its separate login.

@Kevin
Those "old" net_kick commands do not work anymore with 1.03 as far we tried it yesterday.

Is there a way to set the server to run hardcore mode? We want didcated Hardcore servers.

BCA_CatToaster
06-04-2009, 01:57 AM
@Jet

You just have to add the Command "SetSetting hardcore_mode 1" in the dedicated_server.cfg and restart the Server.

Ok and now how you can set map rotation for custom maps?
Should be there file name (same as its stored on server pc) or map name (as shows in game) and then what about if there are spaces ? (for example Golf course).

I dont know; thats what my problem is too. I put the file name in exactly as is is saved, and the server crashes every time. It diesnt crash iof I leave the Ubi maps in, but I dont want Ubi maps, do I remove the Ubi maps from both places: available maps and setsetting_mapcycle? Or just one of them? have this posted in another thread, andno one seems willing to help out all the way. The best way would be for someone to just cpy paste their cfg file here with a couple short sentances explaining. It seems simple enough, maybe no one wants the competition.

So hardly any of ThafuriousOne's post is relevant now.
Also, if you want to change the settings of the server you have to close the server...right? And what if you want to kick a player, or skip map...how is that done with out going into the game and managing it remotely because you cant change settings in the CMDPrompt style Server Launcher. Let me know if im wrong.

I havent actually got it working yet. Im still getting to grips with it all.

Another question: can you put PB automated commands. Like: pb_sv_task 10 100 say Welcome to TAW_OKay Server

Yes, you can use PB to do most of the tasks, inclding all of the old ones as PB hasnt changed. I also suggest using pb_sv_task to do your setsetting command to bump your minimum player count up from 2. Im not sure if setsetting waitready=0 works anymore; I dont think so.

I think you can use pbweb to remotely admin through pb, Im new to that and never quite got it all figured out.

Also, here is the dedicated_server.cfg file, I have just started changing settings to my liking.

This is what the dedicated_server.cfg file looks like. Before each setsetting value there is a brief explanation of what it is for, what the values are and what they do. If you notice, this is one Im working on right now, and I have already changed it to a Ranked match with the server name of >>..UberNerdServer #1. I believe when you set your map cycle you need the full filename, including all the numbers after the map name on a downloaded map. [Example: UNS Labs_agent00kevin_027771661524.fc2map]

So far I was not able to get a server to run with ALL of the options I wanted, but only some of them. I will get my new cfg file done later and ry it. If it does not work I will cpy-paste the entire hing to help find outwhat is going wrong.

Notice the semicolons at the beginning of each line. You have to get rid of these before ANY setsetting command. Leave them in before the explanations as this turns them into a 'note', a basic technique in programming that tells you what each line is for.

Als, between each map name, you MUST have the semicolon.

It looks like generating a new custom mapcycle might be more difficult; I will look into that this evening, because I have to generate a few for next saturday's lan-party.

Edit: please note that I use some subdirs in my downloads dir like "\downloads\3 Large\". So don't just copy it. Anyway I think the subdirs will prove a hassle now, I will get rid of them.

I got my dedicated server up and running in hardcore mode.

Has anyone been able to enter commands in the new console?

The readme file says you should be able to do this locally but it doesn't take any keyboard input. And if I programmatically tie into the Standard.In stream and send commands that way, nothing happens.

If we can't administer a server locally then I'm not going to bother hosting. I don't want to have to get into the game just to change something simple; and forget about an extender for this, without the dedicated server accepting commands locally there's no way to get it to work.

No, and I wont host either, if we cant administer without actually loading up the game.

Also, I can get a dedi up and running, so far with one custom map and all the rest stock (as a quick experiment)

The problem is, I set the ranked value to 1 and the PB to 1 and I still cant get ranked matches. I check the dedi's .cfg dile, and its all there, no semicolon before setsetting. But, when I run the server laucher, it just gives me player match with no PB.

As I said, both are enabled in the .cfg file, which I will copy paste here in a few.

Ok, I can get my custom maps up and running. No problems there anymore. NOW, I still cant get them to go ranked...at least thats what the console says. It says ranked 1 but punkbustr_enabled no. So, by that reasoning, my matches stil are not ranked.

Also, when running a dedi, you cannot run a dedi and play it on the same pc as PB will kick you 99.9% of the time. This is no good for me. I cannot get the old way to work properly to host an in-game dedi, so I am left without being able to properly host matches in-game either.

Why would they release this server launcher (or any app for that matter) without disclosing full directions on how to operate it? The stuff they give you n the dedicated_server.cfg file is a joke, and is nowhere close to all of the setsettings you can adjust.

Ridiculous support once again.

Console always says PB is Off, because it is always off at the point in the console, even if it´s set on in the config. If you use PB for server-messaging you see within a second that PB is On if set so. So you can see in the PB-Logs.

So set PB to ON in the config and it will be running.

Ok, its looking like it is in ranked; I see players who usually frequent the server (in ranked) in it playing. I havent gotten the pbmessages up yet as I think I just got the hang of the new dedi.

Edit: I wont be able to get home for a bit, and even though I am using remote desktop, theres only so much I can do to help while at work. If my server is indeed running ranked, then my last example dedicated_server.cfg file should be correct. I will DEFINITELY follow up this post with more info http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Also, someone took a screen of the server launcher, and all the setsettng commands it scrolls through. It may be on tech help; I will try to find it and move it over here too.

For the ranked matches on custom maps you need to run only those maps whose are aprooved for ranked match. Correct ? There are only few maps atm.
So we were also able to manage make server run. Of course we have to go throught some further "investigation" what could be set it out there. For exapmle weather, there is no option for map default.. ??!?!

;Sets the weather for the match. Ranked match will use map default.
<span class="ev_code_YELLOW">;0=Clear, 25=Windy, 50=Varied, 75=Overcast, 100=Stormy, -1=Random(Ranked match value)</span>

Shouldnt be there "O" for map default as for time of the day? I think so... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/51.gif

How to set up pb rcon

As Brimlad sent me. Thank Brimmy.



It lives in a dos window so you need to set it up via the dedicated_server.cfg




k tested both a dedicated_server.cfg and pbsv.cfg (for webrcon) and both working well.
If you send me an email address I can send you the files directly

firstly with the pbsv.cfg you will need to change: note: u may need to make a config
pb_sv_HttpAddr 61.69.2.38 //[External IP Address]
pb_sv_HttpPort 500 //[Port #]

to what ever values you want to use and the password is set at xxxx. This file gets placed in the bin\pb folder in the FC2 install dir

secondly, the dedicated_server.cfg can be placed anywhere you just need to point the server launcher to the file ie:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">:
To start Far Cry® 2 Dedicated Server by command line prompt:

1 - Navigate to your Farcry 2 install path (usually in Program Files).
2 - Navigate into the bin folder
3 - Type "fc2serverlauncher.exe".

This will launch the dedicated server with default options. If you wish to customize the options, you can launch it with "fc2serverlauncher.exe -dedicated server/dedicated_server.cfg". This file should be located in your "My Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2\Server" folder. If you wish to store the file elsewhere, just specify the absolute path towards it. For example fc2serverlauncher.exe -dedicated "D:\myserver\dedicated_server.cfg" .

If your launching from the game menu then it needs to be in "My Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2\Server" folder

It's setup as a ranked ctd hardcore and the server admin password is xxx.
ports needed are :
Inbound/Outbound UDP/TCP - 9000-9003 (Game)
Outbound UDP - 3074 (STUN services)
Inbound UDP - 3074-3075 (STUN services)
and a port for webrcon, default is 500 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

webrcon works the same, just the dedicated_server.cfg needs to be edited using wordpad and to get hardcore mode working you need to add the line:
SetSetting hardcore_mode 1
also you need to uncomment the admin password line and add a password

With the old ded server consol, u could make up a server config with custom maps. Save the file/ edit it and change the the server to ranked with notepad. As this is as this is the back end of the old server consol, you can also run customs.

I have run a dedicated fc2 server in australia since the games release. I have to say, I am very disapointed in the PC server suport.

You can not tell me, the people that made this game, don't play games. And yet, heres a game that the SP stinks but the MP is great but cannot be supported by providers and clans because it has a retarted dedi.

If I was a programmer and wantd my game to sell because it was so dam popular, I would start with a server that was so well made, network providers would and could suport it. As it is, its a bargain bin game.

Is TF2 a bargain bin game. No. why? It works.

Maybe its because its a consol game modded for PC some will say. NAH. Have it on ps3. The hosted servers stink. Unplayable online most of the time.

Have to say, as I have said b4. Shame on UBI.
You have had our clan suport, but it appears, we have not had yours.

So as they often say, Stuff the people that suport a game, we the producers have our new cars and fancy homes. Thanks for that. You suckers are just swell!

Call of Juarez comes out soon. looks like it has a lot in commen with FC2.
I have advertised its comming on our site.

I will be recommmending our members stay clear.

Why...... I have had enough.

All I'm concerned with at the moment is getting local control. I used to use Remote Desktop to admin, because it was great to just be able to issue warnings if neccesary and have a simple click-kick way to deal with people. I never user to rcon in; I preferred remote desktop. Now, remote desktop (a nice 200$ upgrade to my OS) is basically useless to admin with. Yes, its still very handy, but admining was a major reason for the upgrade. Now I have to get this rcon thing figured out, which doesnt seem too hard, but this new server has really turned things upside down.

On the bright side, the new servers seem much more stable http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Time will tell though.

There are still a few commands that you guys missed that don't scroll in the launcher.

For instance, how do you change team captains in uprising?

The old net_ChangeCaptain <team> doesn't work anymore. It seems like most of the net_ commands don't work at all anymore either. Whenever I try to kick someone in-game and use net_kickclient it says client not found, even if I am using the correct account name and not their tag.

Remotely or Otherwise, does anyone have a clue to what commands I use to kick players, skip maps, extend matches etc etc. All this stuff that was originally a walk in the park.
I can't exactly run a server and give them rules to follow without without the ability of kicking them. Unless they want me to not have rules :O.

The way the server is now from what i have seen is like most every other game server out there now, where you use rcon to gain access to all pb commands. No need for using game commands any more, just log in the rcon as admin through the console and you can admin the server with all PB commands (of course if you have rcon files and privileges set up).

To find all pb command and rcon utilities visit evenbalance.com.

One day if i do get back into this game i will update the opening post with new info on running the new server but that realy isnt needed as any experienced admin that has ran a server for other games and knows how to work with pb and rcon should not have a problem.

The info i provided was mostly because UBI did not make the natural server launcher as many other game use so special attention and info was in need for this game.

ok i sat down and re wrote my thread to correspond with the new update. All the basics should be in there and more will be added within time.

Also all PB command will work as well as pbbans pbrcon and pbpower.

I have also added a seperate thread (not nearly as good as thafuriousone's) on PB Webtool use. I beleve he may be working on a better one atm, mine works though.

And if you run a player match server where PB is off by default then there is no way to admin the server.

Also it is pretty cheap that ubi relies on PB for managing servers rather than having built in console commands, and yet makes player mathes PB off by default. And not every host has used PB before either.

I really want to kick those ppl who think they can get on my dedicated server and say its there and want to kick me when i'm on it...

i hope the patch ubisoft promised, will come out soon as possible.
or does somebody know a easy and with no PB required way to kick, skip or extend??

i maybe found a little clue...
every time u put a unknown command with "admin_setsetting" it will give u this:

Incorrect syntax on remote set setting command

but when I've wrote "admin_setsetting skip_map 1" and it gave me this:

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg60/Killmim/Unbenannt1.jpg?t=1244384318

u can see when u put a command correct but written wrong it will tell u: Set setting failed

or u must something put in the .cfg-document just like with the admin-password:
SetSetting remotePassword XXX
SetSetting admin_pass XXX

so something on this must be right.
but i got to less time to go further in... maybe u guys find something very important http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif
