Ensuring Proper Md5 Generation

[Mach10 0]

Using the previous method for creating MD5s may have mixed results. I have created an exe using the generate_md5.py file for maximum portability. Just copy the files into your Battlefield 2 directory, run the generate_md5.exe your_mod_name and it will create all the md5s for the content.

When creating the client/server builds these are the required files:

Server Build Requires:

bst_archive.md5

bst_archive_mod.md5

std_archive.md5

std_archive_mod.md5

Clients Build Requires:

std_archive.md5

std_archive_mod.md5

Hope this helps in weeding out malicious users from cheating in your mods. This uses the stock Dice generation python, but makes it just a double click away. No need for installing Python, configuring path..etc. Double click and go.

Really helpful Mach10 ! Thanks a bunch for coding it up ! Should possibly go into the 'Tools for the advanced modder' corner if we had that here . So i will put it into the 'tools for all modders' thread

After a few month ive tried this tool , but it will not work.

Also the py-file by Dice will not work...

indifferent, which script, i will be kicked for modified content.

Can anyone tell me what is necessary to create the md5-files?

Nice cooperation, Thanks guys...

depends on what is on your build. Try removing all the md5s from the levels and joining the server. Complex level builds (levels with an objects*.zip) can create incorrect md5s.
