Map no longer restarts when second player joins!

Thanks to an awesome individual who goes by the handle Tuia on bfmods.com, I have just patched the BF1942 server executable so that the current map no longer restarts when the second player joins.

Tuia is the same person who figured out the patch to prevent one of the hacks that was being used to mess up BF1942 servers a while ago. If you have any interest in server-side modding for BF1942, I strongly recommend that you head over to http://bfmods.com and do some reading.

I will be monitoring the server to make sure the patch isn't causing any new problems. If you see anything weird going on, please let me know. And if you notice the server restarting when the second player joins (which I'm sure it won't), let me know.

Now if someone can come up with a patch that have it where you can only be on one team, smallest of course , oh very cool idea. Yes admins are always needed but this would be a great idea of a patch. Do you think that code could ever be cracked?

That would be great for sure. But a lot harder to do. If BF42 supported scripting like BF2 it would be much easier. Tuia provided an additional hack that I'm looking at, whereby any command or setting in the game can be changed at the console during a the game. Powerful, but might have weird effects.
