Re: Call to movie makers: Make more FS videos!

I do not know if that will help you Abigyin, but that can help some others...

Battledirector: (traduction of this page)

http://apu.mabul.org/up-mini/6/apu-6-w0fnphdgxrn0e733xumxvjq0.png

You start with that when you start for first time BATTLEDIRECTOR. Thus normally, if you read this tuto, it is that you succeeded in recovering demo2142 files. If it is not the case, you can pass this tuto.

Therefore, you recovered your files demo, you will leave BATTLEDIRECTOR and slip-will deposit in the repertory according to your files demonstration:

C:_\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Demos

Start again then BATTLEDIRECTOR, you will have that thus;

1. All the options are there, I will return there after,
2. All your demos which you put in the folder bf2142\demos \ post there

http://apu.mabul.org/up-mini/6/apu-6-sxd9iybed8db6lmhmb5ul49c.png

1. The play which you will use to launch them the demo, BF2 or BF2142
2. The directory of the exe of 2142, useful if one wants to launch big_smile
3. The resolution with which you will launch the play
4. If this box is notched you will launch the play in windows mode
5. The number of FPS, NOT TO TOUCH !
6. FOV, the field of vision, 45 that not bad, but made your experiments.
7. If this box is notched, that will remove the names of the players in the demo
8. If this box is notched, that will remove the frags during the visionnage of the demo
9. Click to safeguard your options
10 This box is used when you try to connect you on public servers and that it posts you in error message "Contained initial modified"

http://apu.mabul.org/up-mini/6/apu-6-anq0xgwmbzqnpi0bbmu22wt7.png

Once all these options regulated as you wish it, return on the mitre "Launcher".

1. Choose the demo which you wish to launch
2. the mod with which the demo corresponds, 2/2142/FirstStrike/FS_SP
3. Launch the demo, with this button, it left!

And here, you can from now on use BATTLEDIRECTOR wink ! Super not?

Re: Call to movie makers: Make more FS videos!

What is that it is Battlerecorder?   (traduction of this page)

Presentation:

Battlerecorder makes it possible to record the Battlefield2 parts on the server s having activated this option.
So that your parts are recorded, play simply on a server with activated BattleRecorder (filters of navigator BF2, notch BattleRecorder). Once the finished part, if the administrator configured his server correctly, you will find your parts in the heading community, tallies "favorite BattleRecorder". Click on the recorded part and click on downloading. This operation will transfer the demo file from the server to your PC in the repertory by defect:

C:documents and Settings/My documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/Default/demos

Your demos will be then accessible via the window "game library" in the heading community from the play.

If the remote loading does not function, it is that BattleRecorder is badly configured(parameters of server). In this case your demo is lost.

Technical explanations:[ (admin)

BattleRecorder is composed of two parts. The program of launching of the dedicated server and the script of finalization of demonstration.

Parameters dedicated server :

- AutoRecord
Regulate the recording car on "one" activating BattleRecorder. Each part played on the server will be thus recorded in a file.

- DemoDownloadURL
It acts of the URL which will be transmitted to all the customers connected to the end of the part, from which the interface Battlefield 2 will download the file of demo when the user chooses "remote loading". The file of demo must be in the repertory indicated in the URL, without what the remote loading will fail.

- AutoDemoHook
The server carries out this script at the end of each part when the enreg. car is activated.

- DemoQuality
You can control the quality of the recording of BattleRecorder. ' 1 ' is the adjustment by defect and is recommended for the plays on Internet. ' 10 ' corresponds to maximum quality, and consequently the size occupied by the file will be approximately 8 times more important. High adjustments will also increase the traffic on the server .


Parameters of script:

Carried out when a part ends, this script can be rewritten or replaced if necessary. The server Battlefield 2 will simply try to carry out the script indicated in AutoDemoHook at the end of each part.
Script by defect, named auto_rotate, was written with the Python language, then transformed into achievable file.
It is here: adminutilsdemorotate_demo.py
Script will move a BattleRecorder file of the server towards a new local site or a site ftp. You can also specify the number of files to be filed. Script is configured via a file of configuration entitled "auto_rotate.cfg" which is with the root of the repertory of installation of Battlefield 2.

In this file, you can configure:

- file_limit =

Use this value to define the number of BattleRecorder files which you wish to keep at disposal. The default value is 30. When the limit is reached, the new file will replace oldest.

- target_root =

If you intend to carry out a transfer towards a local repertory, seize the access path here.

- use_ftp =

Define this value on 1 if you wish to send the DemoRecorder file on ftp to a new site.

- to ftp_target_dir =

Seize the way of the ftp on which you wish to transfer the recording.

- ftp_server =

Seize the URL or the IP of your server ftp

- ftp_user =

Seize the name of user allowing you to connect itself to the ftp.

- ftp_password =

Seize the password of your account of connection.

CAUTION:

- Battle Recorder appreciably increases the load of your server . This is why the parts of 64 players will not be dealt with if Battle Recorder is activated.
- the files Battle Recorder grow bigger as you increase the number of players and tickets. For a part of 32 players and 250 tickets on each side, your file will make approximately 5-6 Mo.
- By activating the function "the Community" of Battlefield 2, the files Battle Recorder downloaded will be safeguarded in:

My Documents/Battlefield2/Profiles/Default/Demos

For all the profiles present on your computer, it
is on this site which will be carried out the backup files Battle Recorder.

It is possible to download files Battle Recorder of a friend or an Internet site and to copy them in the file Battle Recorder above. They will appear then in the page "the Community" and you will be able to then carry out them.

Options of reading:

Just as you can use the keys ' Q' and ' You to control the reading of a recording, you can also use a series of short cuts keyboard:

- Keys 1-9: To slow down or modify the reading rate.
- Key "Alt Fire" (right button of the mouse by defect): commutation Camera seen free/Camera Player
In free camera mode:
- Z, Q, S, D: Movement forwards, to transfer towards the left and the right-hand side.
- Double pressure of key Z: Fast movement of camera. You can also maintain the key "To run" inserted.
- to squat themselves/lie down: Movement of camera upwards or downwards.
- Axis mouse: Rotation of the camera.
When the camera follows the player:
- Bar of space: Following/preceding player.
- Z and Q, or mollette of run of the mouse: Zoomer or dézoomer with the camera.
- to squat themselves/lie down: To direct the camera upwards or downwards.
- Axis mouse: Rotation of the camera around the player.


Here it is all that it is necessary to know to use for Battlrecorder!

I hope to have helped you!
