Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

I have never played a game with a recorder. It would be nice to relive the greatest bf2 moments.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

When i try to delete the files from Communitie/ Battlerecorder, first they are erased but when i restart the game they are still there. Any idee how to get rid of them?

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

I scanned through the post...its quite big so im sorry if i missed the info i need.

I see LOADS of stuff about how to use the recorder ..but i havent seen anything that explains where im supposed to get the recorded internet games from.

Supposedly i should go to community and a game recording should be ready to download, but theres never anything to download. Im sure ive played on servers with the feature turned on....but still theres nothing to download.

????????

One thing to note is that 64player serveres doesnt support the demo function, so if you want demo`s play on 32 servers or 16 server. Not all serveres have battlerecorder on, but most do. When you have played your round , go back to the meny and click the "Community" tab. Here you can view and download demo`s.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

So you have to join a server that has BFRecorder before you can even think of recording right? I have yet to even see one of those. My filter goes blank if i change anything on it hahahha.

No, that's not true. You can record demos in singleplayer for instance.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

Great guide thanks for that
Just having one small problem, I created the sound file, but after it finished rendering I have no idea where the sound file ended up??

Do you know where they go and what codec it will be rendered to?

Thanks guys.

I too followed this guide, which was VERY helpful in getting me started, and after 3 days, got my video redered, and like you, I also rendered the sound but have NO clue where it went, what it was saved to, etc.

Any help please.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

I've read this guide, but I'm having problems very early on. I can't seem to record the camera movements. I made a demo in singleplayer, and copied it to the right directories, but when i bring up the cmd and type in the bf2 dir nothing happens. When I watched the demo however, there was already a cam file there, so it may have recorded it then. However, when I try and play this back I can't get it to work. When i bring up the cmd and type cd d:\games\ea games\battlefield 2 nothing happens. If i then try and type demo.cmd demo1 demo1-def, it just says that demo.cmd is not recognized.

Any help would be appreciated. It may just be that I'm typing the wrong directory in, but I looked at a different guide to this one which said to do something else, so I'm a tad confused.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

Sheepah, and others,
After trying everything command line, I finally went and got Battlelauncher; http://www.battlelauncher.com/ ; No I am not affiliated with them. On the main page, there is a link to "20 steps to Make a Movie", which I will also link to here(hope they don't mind):

http://www.followme2.com/phpfusion/html/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=14&thread_id=54#165

Again, I am not affiliated, I was having all the same problems. However, after following the steps, and installing Battlelauncher, I am able to do everything that I was trying to do from the start. I am now underway in the production stages of my BF2 mini-series, which I hope I can pull off since the people who are going to take part in it all want creative control...Dang BF2 actors. :)

Hope this helps, and like I said, I am now underway, thanks to all for helping me. I know, I should have tried BL a week ago.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

I've scanned this entire thread and I can honestly say I've been more confused trying to figure this out than I was when I took my first algebra class.

Why the F**K can i just press a button to start recording whatever is on my screen and then press the same one (or different one) to stop recording what's there. I mean if these guys at dice graduate with masters degree's from MIT and sh*t except they don't have enough logical sense to just build something like that. I mean make a simplified version for idiots like me and then have a better utility or more advanced features for stuff like camera movements and slow motion crap. Seriously I can't even pi*s strait sometimes but atleast I could probably built something more simple than these A+ grads.

Re: Guide to Battlefield Recorder

I am just wondering:

So why should i do all this command prompts etc.. when i can use Fraps for video capturing and audio capturing ?

Has it something to do with the quality?

I just want to know the difference.
