[bf1942] How to test high ping kicker is working

[Andrew Armstrong]

Im having to design this in a way that it works for multiple configs for
multiple servers off the one install.

I have a file: bf2/admin/admin_script16567.py
This contains:
------------
# Battlefield II -- default remote console module.
.... (the contents of the bfno admin script)
with the following changes:
adminSettingsFile = profileDir + "/adminsettings.con" ===> adminSettingsFile
= profileDir + "/admin16567.con"

I have a file: bf2/mods/bf2/settings/admin16567.con
with contents:
------------
bfno.debugLogEnabled 1
bfno.debugLogFile "adminlog.log"
bfno.udpLogEnabled 0
bfno.udpLogHost "localhost"
bfno.udpLogPort 29500
bfno.highPingAutoKick 1
bfno.highPingLimit 20
bfno.highPingWarnings 3
bfno.highPingCheckInterval 30
admin.port 41005
admin.password "mypassword"
--------

In file: bf2/admin/standard_admin/__init__.py
contents:
------------
import autobalance
import tk_punish
import bf2cc
import pingkick

autobalance.init()
tk_punish.init()
pingkick.init()
------------

In my server config I have:
sv.adminScript "admin_script16567"

The dedicated server console does not give any of the information you
indicated below:
> [2005-06-27 01:02:03] Logging enabled
> [2005-06-27 01:02:03] Starting rcon on port 4712
> [2005-06-27 01:02:03] initializing default admin/rcon module
> [2005-06-27 01:02:03] initializing autobalance script
> [2005-06-27 01:02:03] initializing tk-punish script


I understand im slightly editing what you provided, but I dont see a reason
for this not to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help so far,
