Battlefield Division Yet another tool?

[ElectricCookie]

Hey guys,

I haven't been here a lot recently. Maybe you remember me from RocketTools, which was a project that started about 1,5 years ago and had the goal of creating a Battfield tool replacing Procon.

The idea was flawed from the beginnning to be honest. Making money from server-tools will never really be profitable which is what we realized after RocketTools was shut down forever.

Oh well,
still we're sitting on a ton of code which would be of great use for the general-public. That's the reason why we've decided to start a new project called cf-tools it's an Open-Source organization dedicated to (Game)-Server management. We're currently in the planning phase but we want to make it as open and extensible as possible so that 3rd party developers can add to it.

Since this project is completely non-profit we're looking for people to help. So if anybody here has some spare time and experience in TypeScript/React/Redux or design please make sure to hit us up!

Also we would love to hear from the eGO BF-Division if there's the possibility to use the Event-Server for testing again.


Thanks,
~Cookie

You guys going to put it on github or anything to make it open to contributions?

I learned that years ago, unfortunately when free or cheap alternatives exist, it is very hard to breach the market unless you are different enough.

Yes it will be on GitHub for sure!

The problem why stuff like this isn't profitable is the fact that there's not enough game-servers in total.

Yeah, unless its subscription based and you have a team for customer support backing it with quick response, it is very difficult. Understandable! Glad you will be continuing it though
