ABC Player tracking...and your BF2 account name

[Mat-Moo]

Ok guys, when you play GC and you want ABC to properly track your stats (e.g. time played which goes towards variuos ribbons), you need to make sure that in ABC your "Account Name" (Not your Nuke name, that you create an account with) is set the same as the "Account name" you use when you login to :-


Should be set at :-


If these two do NOT match then your account will not be tracked. To edit this BF2 Account name, simply click the EDIT image on the left, then enter the BF2 Account name you use (NO TAGS, unless they form part of your account name!), then hit SUBMIT to save - simple

From the battle on 15th Jan 06, the following players will need to update

GogglesTheyDoNot
=GC=madcow
=GC=Jones
=GC=Zeplin05
=MF=Ash2Dust
LandRover-GC
chopchop1501
=GC=BRUM
Charger72
[6MD]-Nagin
=GC=Thoronath
=GC=DaGrooved1


These are a few BF2 account names, ABC found ingame, but could not link to a ABC account (not getting told off, just trying to help!) so please update your ABC account with the correct BF2 Account name!

Is there a place on this website where we can locate these stats? It'd be interesting to see what it has to say about me after random battles

When you go into ABC and look at the "Sign-Up", you can "Pick another battle" at the bottom of the screen. When you click a prior battle you will see who played in it. Admins also use this to see how many battles you attended for award purposes and I hope to do more with it as ABC develops.

Also..in ABC it will tell you the Tags you should use. Everyone should be using their Army/Rank tags the way ABC says they should be set up. Personally, I have a BF2 Account I use just for =GC= Tourney. You may want to do this also instead of using your regular ranked account. Tags will change throughout each camp, you may want to run slightly different settings and binds for tourney etc.

[Nagin]

OK, trying to get all these names setup correctly...

I have created a new BF2 account for the tourney. It is NaginGC.

I went to ABC and entered the edit function where I placed NaginGC in the entry for BF2 used different from login name which is just Nagin.

So I should be setup now correctly for tracking purposes?

My in tourney name will be S2*Spi NaginGC.

Have I gotton all this done right?

Thanks.

[Mat-Moo]

Yep, perfect... or you can use your clan one "[6MD]-Nagin" if you want as well

[madcow]

Ah, thanks for that Mat-d-rat.

I'm all sorted now

Mat please apologice my ignorance but is my observation correct that the prefic you use when playing isn't relevant for the question of being tracked in ABC or not?

too bad i couldnt sign in ABC after the battle had started

Correct your tag is stripped before ABC processes your name to find you in ABC... of course you should always wear your correct tag so that you can be identified by your commanders etc.

too bad i couldnt sign in ABC after the battle had started

In what respect?

[undrt0w]

well i joined the last 2 hours of the battleday but i hadnt signed up on ABC
so when i tried to do it, there were no boxes to select the hours i would like to sign up for. Plus the names of the registered players had green or red dots on top

[Mat-Moo]

You can't sign up to a battle one it has started... but if you are signe dup in ABC it will still track your stats.

The error here is that my name is cut off when I add tags to it. The BF2 account name I use for GC is "GogglesTheyDoNothing", but when I add my tags to it, it becomes "S1*Hon GogglesTheyDoNot"... losing the last four letters due to excessive length, I guess. Now I've got my ABC name as the full length version, but I'm guessing the server only sees the cut-off version... what shall I do?

[Mat-Moo]

Set it to "GogglesTheyDoNot" I'll have to see if I can think of a fix...

[Goggles]

lol, the nick makes less and less sense as time goes by... ok, it's been changed to "GogglesTheyDoNot"!
