	Bad Company 2 - Server Setup Guide

Solution Battlefield Bad Company 2 uses two different configuration files to control settings on the server.
Both of these can be changed to control the way that the server behaves, and we'll cover the different settings you can use here.

To change any of these files on your Multiplay server, follow these steps:

1) Log into Clanforge - http://clanforge.multiplay.co.uk using your Multiplay Account
2) Edit your profile by clicking the Profiles tab and clicking Edit at the bottom of the page
3) Click on the Config tab, and then select the file you wish to edit from the drop down menu.
4) Save your profile remembering to click the Restart option if you want your changes to take immediate effect!

You can change the following settings from the Basic tab of your profiles.
Server Name
Admin Name
Admin Email
Max Players
Time Limit
Gametype
Admin Password
Server Password

To change the maps in rotation on your server, use the Maps tab of the Profiles page.
