BFServerManager announcements

"this server is managed by SiMPLE".

that text refers to BFSM that re edited by SiMPLE staffs , the original is "this server is managed  byBFSM 2.0 from Blackbag operation " you can see that on aX server

Is this edit done to the binary?  Or is it contained in a conf file somewhere?

Re: BFServerManager announcements

It is easy to change it. That text is hardcoded in the binary, it is not inside the announcements.con file. You can change that string with an hex-editor, making sure you do not exceed the size or you will overwrite other strings and terminate the replacement text with a zero byte.

Thanks, I'll use strings to find it.

Not really sure how to fix it but I can tell you that it is at offset 0x21BD0

Re: BFServerManager announcements

It is also easy to fix that, but it is only a cosmetic change. BFServerManager works fine with BF1942 server v1.612.

No, change in that string with an hex-editor from "with this v%.2f server." to "with this v%.3f server."

WARNING: This version of Server Manager is intended for BF v1.61 and may not work correctly with this v1.61 server.

now i have this

WARNING: This version of Server Manager is intended for BF v1.61 and may not work correctly with this v1.612 server.

Re: BFServerManager announcements

You don't want the warnings? That is also easy to remove. Let's make BFServerManager intended for BF1942 server v1.612. We're going to change the hardcoded float value 1.61 to 1.612, which is read to compare if it is displayed that warning message or not. Go to 0x08069BE4 address or 0x21BE4 offset and change bytes from 7B 14 to 04 56 in bfsmd file.

Re: BFServerManager announcements

You are doing to a different file, probably bfsmd.static, search for this sequence of bytes: 7B 14 CE 3F. Change 7B 14 to 04 56. You can also change "%.2f" to "%.3f" in the nearby strings for correct display.

Re: BFServerManager announcements

You are using BFServerManager v2.01, I used BFServerManager v2.0 (final).
