| Alternative/New Master Server on-line |
 |
|
Gsio01 has created a new master server for Elite Force II with his magic powers. To retrieve the list of servers from the new Master you need to modify a system file.
The changes to the file will make your computer use a different IP for the address of the Activision master-server, this is necessary since the game offers no option to change the master server.
Please be aware that this method is also used to redirect users to fake-websites, so it is likely that your Virus-scanner or Security Software might give you a warning.
How to change ef2master.activision.com to the new master server ?
For this operation you will need to have administrative privileges!
___Windows___
1. Open the file named simply "hosts" in "C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc" (assuming you installed windows on drive "c").
2. Make sure you use Notepad.exe or any else text editor to edit the hosts file, Wordpad or Word or Office will !!!N O T!!! work!
3. Scroll down to the bottom line and add the following line:
78.46.64.6 ef2master.activision.com
4. Save the file and reboot your Operating System.
___MAC OS-X 10.2+___
1. Access the TERMINAL.
2. Browse the directory using the command string:
cd /private/etc
3. Open the hosts file in the nano text editor:
sudo nano hosts
4. Scroll down to the bottom line and add the following line:
78.46.64.6 ef2master.activision.com
5. Press Control and X and save the file with administrative privileges.
6. Reboot your Operating System.
If you are running your own server add the following cvar in the server-config file, make sure the server loads the config file on start-up:
set sv_master2 ef2master.gdev-rp.org
If you host a server from inside the game menu you should type into the console (use the middle mouse button to paste text from the clipboard into the game console):
seta sv_master2 ef2master.gdev-rp.org
There will be no changes for the Authentication server, since we don't intend and are legally not allowed to validate your cd-key, which means you can still use a creative combination of letters and numbers to create your own custom cd-key.
Happy Fragging!
