DESCRIPTION: Redsack is a very cool tool for those using either BF2142 or Americas Army as it has it's own Ban List, allows you to see where cheaters are playing right now as well as other tools to keep cheaters at bay.


Redsack holds a Master Ban List from all of the following AC organisations.

AASA (Americas Army Server Admins)
ACI (AntiCheat Inc)
AON (AirDale Opts Network)
PSB (PunksBusted)
PBB (PBBans)
CB (CheatBusted))

RedSack Master Ban List, more than just another all-in-one ban list.
You can download the list or lists but if you create an account you will receive an email each time the ban list is updated showing you what group added/removed bans, and server administrators can even have the ban list automatically transferred to their game servers via FTP when the player count is less than the number you request or at a specific time of day with notification when completed, check it out in the menu on the left.


Americas Army Deploy Client Setup

Yep it is here at last 2.8.4.0
Download it, install it and wait... and wait... and wait...

Don't be put of to much, in these early days there is so many people trying to connect it may crash

AADeployClientInstaller.zip V1.2.2 - 9.77 MB

Let it run first time, and Windows will ask you if you want to unblock a port 'say yes' when it has finished and is sitting on the screen ready, shut it down.
Now restart it again and wait for it to check the empty Cache, then it will update itself to v1.2.3, just let it run.
when it has finished and is sitting on the screen, don't touch it, it will eventually ask you (about a minute later) if you want to patch to AA version 2.8.4, click yes and wait for it to download the patch.

When it has downloaded the patch, click the install button.
Note - It may crash, if this is the case don't panic just restart it and let it check it's cache and connect to a server, it will then popup a box and ask you if you want to patch to v2.8.4 'Say Yes', click the install button once again and 'WAIT'
It takes awhile to extract the patch file ready for running, eventually you will see a popup dialogue ask you if you would like to patch version 2.8.3.1 to v2.8.4, Click the button and watch it patch and your done.

Using this client deploy method is really the best option, perseverance is the key it will get better as time goes by and I would trust this more than downloading the patch from a site that may have repacked it with some other undesirable program.

Good luck and happy playing

Welcome to Redsack

If you are into BattleField 2142 on-line gaming then this is the place for you.
Redsack is not a clan site, it is for information only. In fact as many tools as I can think of I will put on this site in the menu on the left.
This site is hosted in the USA by Webhost4life.com, I on the other hand am in the UK.

Who am I, just another player that has got really involved with this game, its strategy or just Rambo running around the maps.

I have developed over the past year a number of tools for verious other game servers, mainly because I could not find anything like them out in the wider world.
The site is supported by a backend SQL server, then there is a web server in the UK with another backed SQL server supporting that, that one is supplying all the data for the information on the left menu.
And last but not least is the master scanning server also in the UK that polls all of the servers reading the Game play information.

Feel free to download any of the tools on this site, I guarantee they are Virus, Spy-ware and Ad-ware free provided you download them from here only, if you see them somewhere else they could have been repacked with god knows what.
If you really like using them or the site, then a donation would be really appreciated to help towards the running costs of the site, even $5 helps.

Drop in to the forum and say Hi, I am always around to help out.
Do you have any suggestions for programs, tools or utilities? I am a prolific programmer always looking for something new to get my teeth into, so just suggest it and we will see what we can do.

Hi all

My name is Greg and I run the RedSack web site, all you see there has been crafted by my very tired hands.
It’s not really a clan site it is more for information than anything else, I have been playing AA for years and in the past couple BF2142.

At present I don’t play a lot, been having problems on BF2142 with Punkbuster and Heartbeats stopped, did find the problem was ITunes – terminating the Ipodservice routine enabled me to play BF2142 again, but I am a sniper at heart and mainly stay close to those type servers, so if you are ever on one and see Born59 that’s me.

AA2 I am {RaEl}SideWINdEr, note the AA2 my poor old machine just can’t take AA3 need to build a new one.

RedSack has taken a good chunk of my time in the past and all the routines I write are as automatic as I can make them, meaning less work for me and that’s good, so much so I created some Administrator functions to take the pain out of administration for server owners, the Chatlog reader is one of those functions take a look at http://www.awa-clan.com/ and login to the chatlog – administrators see more.

Anyway I’m here to help, any questions post away… I like a good challenge and writing programs to do it, If you come up with a good idea I would be interested, I am looking for BF2142 server administrators, as I don’t run a BF server I would like to nose around the files it produces and hear from you to the purpose of writing program to help you do certain tasks.

All the Best Greg

Very cool post Greg, thanks for coming by and giving us all a great intro.

I think that's a great offer and hope people take advantage of RedSack's services, they look to me to be some fine tools.

cheers, GreenBean.

Hi All

AA3 ban list now added to the RMBL, this like the AA2 ban list is a full list from each Anti-Cheat Organisation with the duplicate removed.
You can see more information using the menu item on the left ‘AA3 Anti Cheats Facts’ or download the ban list from the RMBL webpage.


As of posting this there are 472 bans since AA3 was released, it is such a pity that there are so many already, and these poor player can’t use their own skill in the game.
The game may be free but hosting servers is not, don’t forget to donate to a server if you enjoy playing on it, remember the Administrator keeps if free from cheats and to do so does a lot of work.
