We've just added a new section to our website called DontCamp Code. You can see it on our frontpage menu right now.

This section will provide the public with the basic classes we use to do our various admin tasks here at DontCamp.com. These classes are live, in that as we edit and update them you'll see the changes right away on the code pages.

Enjoy!

Until we get our new BF2 python code all setup in DontCamp Code, dst and I are posting most of our stuff here. At the time of this posting we have scripts that:

1. Randomize map selection and dynamically choose an appropriate map size.

2. Dynamically adjust the teamratios to be inversely proportional to the tickets of each team with the specific intention of putting new players on the losing team regardless of team balance.

3. Provide an in-game chat based admin system a la BFSM.

That is pretty cool of you guys to share the code.

50 bucks, but since it was stolen it was all profit for the guy who sold it. Wink

On a serious note though, I think it's pretty cool what you do. Did any of you have any programming experience before you started this place, or have you taken classes or read books or something?

I knew next to nothing before needing to write DCLP. I've learned almost everything from books but I've got a several friends that know how to code as well.

Any chance on getting a code snippet for the "sayNextMap" phthon function that you refrence in your dc_ass.py script? I am new to Python and am having trouble figuring that out.

PS: The script rocks!!!

I'm glad you like it! Do you have it running already on a server? If so, how is that working out?

We actually haven't yet written a sayNextMap function to use as a dc_ass extension. We likely will however, and I wouldn't be surprised if dst could spit the function right out of his head.

I am running the script on our server and it works great!!! Many thanks! I am all over this new Python interface for BF2. We also have a BF1942 server which I had to write and entire VB app to admin it from in-game chat. This inerface is much nicer and has huge potential.

Oh yeah, my BF1942 admin app has some cool commands that I will most likely be trying to mimic for the BF2 server.

One command that I will be working on right away is a "Kick on next TK". So when you issue the command it puts the offender in a list and kicks him on his next tk.

Another command will be "Switch teams or be kicked" countdown. When this command is issued the player is added to a list and a message flashes on the screen every second... "Player X, switch teams or be kicked in 10 seconds" ... "9 seconds" ... "8 seconds", etc. The script will need to check and see if the player has switched and if he doesn't then he is kicked after 10 secs. If he does switch then he is removed from the list and the coundown is aborted. We got this command working on our BF1942 server and it works great! I think it is much better the autobalance because I personally hate being switched automatically. This method lets you control who you want to switch.

It would also be cool to have a manual abort command for both of the examples above incase the admin changes his mind or uses the incorrect player number.

Just some ideas for the script and I would be glad to help figure out the code.

That's pretty fancy! Clearly I need a place for people to post cool extensions for dc_ass! dst has written some pretty cool extensions already.

That would be cool! I'd love to see some of his code!

Kick on next TK sounds pretty risky considering the ease with which TKs are had with arty and the vehicles in this game. Neat ideas tho Gforce.

Austin007,

Thats the beauty of being able to issue a command. As an admin you can judge if someone is being a tard.. like if you got some guy with like a -10 score.

How do you show the code like you do in that window?
