[bf1942] I've the BF2 ranked server binaries and now?

[Jon Wolberg]

This command has no bearing at all on whether your server lists as ranked, 
it just allows people to use their ranks on your servers or  not ( this is 
stated in the readme ).

Even if it is set to 1, the browser will report it as 0, it is a known bug.
