Need help setting up Battlecorder

[D_Lusted]

Hi guys,
I need help setting up my Battlecorder on my Server.....
Only problem is I want to redirect the recorded demos to my Web Server, so they can be downloaded thru BF2 directly, as my Game Server doesn't have HTTP.

Can anyone help me on this problem?
Many thanks

Try the record demo info from bf2.fun-o-matic.org.

My Game Server and Web Server are both Linux tho, so exe won't work

So use the .py instead of the .exe.

The compiled .exe is only recommended for Windows instead of the source .py file. On you linux box, just use the source .py file and you will be ok.

Also don't forget to modify your rotate_demo.cfg file.

Also don't forget to modify your rotate_demo.cfg file.

So here I place the appropiate info for my FTP on my Web Server, and use the FTP path to, in my case, var/www/html/demos/

# set the number of demo files to keep in rotation
file_limit = 30

# for local web server; edit this path and make it match the one in serversettings.con
target_root = /path/to/webroot/demos

# set to 1 to enable ftp uploading
use_ftp = 1

# set to the target directory on the ftp server
ftp_target_dir = /var/www/html/demos/

# login information for the ftp server goes here
ftp_server = 69.36.*.*
ftp_user = **************
ftp_password = **************

Then, in my serversettings.con add the lines:

sv.autoRecord 1
sv.demoIndexURL http://www.lusted-enterprises.co.uk/demos/
sv.demoDownloadURL http://www.lusted-enterprises.co.uk/demos/

Is that right?

All that looks good. The only thing that may give any problems is the ftp transfer. Check the ftp server logs to see if the connection is made after a demo round is finished. We had problems there and it was cause of a passive ftp setting. So just try it out and see what happens.
