Battlerecorder weapon accuracy testing.

[And 1]

Question 1

I'm wanting to test the weapons deviation & accuracy--mainly the sniper's-- from 200-350 meters. I've seen a few documented threads, but I want to do it myself.

My problem: My bullet holes (decals) don't show up in the demo playback. Bullet marks show in game (most of the time; it's weird; 50/50) on most objects.

I've had one demo record the bullet decals, but I didn't do any real testing.

P.S. I have created demo's from (1) Singleplayer, (2) My dedicated server, and (3) My local server. And, I've set demo quality to "10" from the BF2ServerLauncher.exe.


Question 2

Although I can't see the defined bullet holes, I can see where the bullet hits generally. It seems w/ the M24 and M95 at 150-300M the bullets hit about 6-8" left of the intended point. Is this because all my settings are on medium, therefore the geometry isn't perfect?

You can increase the zoom level of the sniper guns´ scopes via the .tweak files and add tracers to the rounds, to be able to observe their deviation pattern. I used a similar technique in my bullet drop tests:

Thanks, SK. I've seen that thread before.

Oh, and by the way, it was because my texture setting was on "medium" and not "high". Now I can see the holes.


I changed the .tweak file, started my server, and can't join because it says "You can't join because your game is modified."......or something like that.

What's a way I can get past that?
