----------------------------------------------- 

Parallel dazu kommt jetzt schon für alle Serveradmins eine dicke Doku, die alle wichtigen Informationen bezüglich der BC2 Serveradministration zusammenfaßt. Mit Serverversion R12 finden auch einige Neuerungen den Weg zu uns. So gibt es z.b. in Zukunft eine VIP- Queue. D.h. es können zusätzliche Slots reserviert werden, die aber auch durch Public Spieler genutzt werden können. Erst wenn der „VIP Spieler“ kommt, wird ein Spieler vom Server gekickt, um Platz für den VIP zu machen. Vielleicht eine bessere Lösung, als pauschal unzählige Slots eines Servers zu reservieren. Natürlich gibt es noch andere Dinge, die man jetzt definieren kann. Z.b. eine automatischen Teamkill-Kick.

 

 

Coole Sache dies
