BF2 Server-side Modding

From Tactical Wiki

BF2 Server-side Modding involves the editing of anything in BF2 which changes only the server. This can include the modification of generic server settings, game types, object parameters, or changes to stock maps.

This will serve as a repository of information about what can and cannot be changed with a server-side mod, and will track results of experiments modding.

[edit] What CANNOT be modded

ObjectTemplate entries in .CON files cannot be changed without crashing 50% of clients as soon as they try to join the map. So far we don't know what distinguishes crashers from non-crashers.

[edit] What CAN be modded

1. Object spawners which create instances of ObjectTemplates can be added or changed in any way. They can be moved, duplicated, deleted, or their parameters can be changed.
