Hello greetings to all.

I have been playing this game for years, and now that I have a lot of time, I would like to mount several servers.

I have several local and virtual servers.

I have a central server and 4 virtual ones,

My intention is to set up 4 servers and make the control panel as a master.

Is there any guide on how to make it possible?

------

1º server (central-master) -> Fesl_login for all + web server + stast + master Bf2142 server (IP: 0.0.0.1 (Example))

1º Virtual Server + Bf2142 server with MOD (IP: 0.0.0.2 (Example))

2º Virtual Server + Bf2142 server with MOD (IP: 0.0.0.3 (Example))

3º Virtual Server + Bf2142 server with MOD (IP: 0.0.0.4 (Example))

Hardware = 128 GB RAM + 2 AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

Can some advanced user tell me if it is possible to do it or if necessary a guide to be able to execute it?

Thank you very much and greetings to all.

Hello,

to make it short: yes it is possible.

as you wrote, you get your central server running fesl, mysql and apache.

Please dont use xampp for that, the version i'm providing in my guide is very outdated and is vulnerable to heartbleed and other leakages.

Reason for the version is the mysql integration. PHP 7 dropped mysql and makes use of mysqli or pdo_mysql.

So the fesl/apache part has to be ported over to mysqli (i had/have no time for that atm).

Its totally OK for LAN, since no public connection is being made and you dont go into the internet with it.

_____

So i can give you a quick walkthrough for the general setup.

Do change all passwords please, you dont want to get fucked up.

I consider my guide here as read and understood.

So you setup the masterserver (fesl,apache,mysql) on your central server. You create an .exe with the IP to this master server and must give that out to your players.

You can also create a gameserver instance here if you want, depends on the load you will get.

____

The other servers just get the gameserver and the mods, the gameservers get prepared to throw their gamespy data to your masterserver, which will happen by editing the hostfile of the vServers linux/windows OS.

Here is the hostfile from the guide again for a quick look at, your.ip will be your centralservers IP.

Also, give the gameservers a reasonable name so ppl can read what server supports what mods.

your.ip bf2142-pc.fesl.ea.com
your.ip gpcm.gamespy.com
your.ip stella.available.gamespy.com
your.ip eapusher.dise.se
127.0.0.1 stella.prod.gamespy.com #dont change this
your.ip stella.ms5.gamespy.com
your.ip ea.com
your.ip gamespy.com
your.ip messaging.ea.com
your.ip fesl.ea.com
your.ip gpsp.gamespy.com
your.ip gamestats.gamespy.com
your.ip stella.ms5.gamespy.com
your.ip eapusher.dice.se
your.ip stella.master.gamespy.com

To make your servers pop up in the server browser you need to edit the "customcommands" in ccClient.

Open ccDaemon like in the guide, open up ccLient and open the settings. Fill in this text like in the screenshot:

sv.ranked 1
sv.provider 10011
sv.region AT
sv.type 1
sv.globRank 1
sv.globUnlocks 1

Then you need to add the IP of all 3 gameservers into the mysql of the masterserver, so that he will accept the incoming data and aknowledges them as valid.

Also happens in my guide, here a quick look.

Thats basicly everything.

here is the concept diagram:

I wrote down the .exe's action too.

1. Connection to masterserver, login. User chooses server via server browser.

2. Selected server from browser gets delivered to .exe

3. User gets connected to gameServer.

4.

5. Everything happening on the vServers gets passed to the central Server and gets saved.

Yes, I have two running right now.
I am fixing some small mistakes.
I am preparing the third and if everything goes well between today and tomorrow I will put them online to be tested.

At the moment there are two servers with bots and one of norten, all with boost to test the line and the servers, I tell you something here in a few hours.
