Firewall ports and how to get rid of the intro

[FuSs]

How to get rid of the intro:

Open \mods\bfs\init.con
place a REM in front of the bf2Engine.playMovie commands

IMPORTANT: maybe it counts as a game modification so you wont be able to join some servers... have to test that


Which ports do you have to open in your firewall:
UDP 27900
UDP/TCP 29900
TCP 80
TCP 4711
TCP 29901
UDP 1500-4999
UDP/TCP 1024-1124
UDP 28910
UDP 16567
UDP 55123-55125

'Nother way to get rid of the movies without touching the game config:

mods/bf2/movies

rename all .bik files except those with "menu" in front and the "noise.bik" (those are the background movies of the menu).
