how to set a dedicated server for expansion packs maps

hey guys i love playing on the SiMPLE servers but my little brother isn't that
good at this game. so i would like to make a dedicated server for coop games,
on the maps of road to rome and secret weapons of WW II too, because
that gives more variety.
i got the expansion packs for both PC's so no problems possible with cracks
or serial keys.

Re: how to set a dedicated server for expansion packs maps

This was somewhat explained in a previous post. You need to download BF1942 Server v1.6 and install it. Next, download BF1942 Server Update v1.61 and run it. You need to open port 14567 in your router. Download BFServerManager v2.01 extract it in your BF1942 server directory, run and change the settings, accordingly. Start the server and, now, you and your brother should connect to it by the local IP address of the computer running the server, for example, connect to 192.168.1.2.

I don't know why, but you can disable restart automatically in BFServerManager by unticking that box in Options button.
