Note that if you are carrying out a remote installation using SSH or other remote admin tool you may need to use the “chmod” command to allow the correct file access privileges. Please consult your Linux documentation on how to use the “chmod” command.
Once the archive has unpacked, you will be required to read and accept the EULA both for the server and for PunkBuster before installation will continue.
Enter a suitable path to complete the installation, for example /Home/
Note that if your system clock and date are not set correctly this can lead to issues with stats processing on Ranked servers. Please ensure the time and date are set correctly before starting the game server.
The command files for the Linux server are stored in the following folder:
Battlefield 2 -
The files are called “serversettings.con” which holds all of the settings for the server, and “maplist.con” which contains all of the settings for which maps to load, what size and in which order to run them. These files may be opened and edited using any text editing program.
See Appendix D for a list of the server commands and their functions.
To add a map to the maplist, you must prefix each entry with the “maplist.append” command. The correct syntax for this command is as follows:
Maplist.append
