Re: Battle Recorder

1. Battlerecorder is enabled server side. If you aren't playing on a Battlerecorder enabled server, then you won't be able to use this feature.

2. Community tab in BFHQ. .bf2demo files.

3. You CAN record single player (because it is YOU hosting a game) with the console commands:

demo.recordDemo [demoname] - Starts recording current gameplay and saves the file as demoname.bf2demo in your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Demos directory

demo.stopRecording - Stops current demo recording

Re: Battle Recorder

He basically said it all, though i thought that you could record it yourself online with the same console command as in single player, but I guess not

Re: Battle Recorder

Nope...it's serverside. You cannot start or stop recording online. Only on a server you host.

Re: Battle Recorder

I think you should get battle launcher, good program do help with the demos. It lets you play the demo (saved game) and also record it.

Converting to AVI

1. In your command prompt type the following command:
demo.cmd +r "name of demo" "name of cam file"
Example: demo.cmd +r demo8 mydemocam

Your game will once again open. Just do as you did in the previous steps. Your command prompt will also read: Rending AVI...

2.Once the game loading bar is complete press ALT+TAB to minimize the game. A small box will have appeared. This is your choice of encoders. It is recommended that you use the DivX encoder. Click your choice, than press ok.

3.Open the game window back up (it should be minimized at the bottom of your screen) and click join game.
NOTE: You MUST leave the game and the video running on your screen until the video is over. If you minimize your game and try to bring your window back up during this encoding process, your game will close out and your AVI file will be corrupt.

4.If you choose to stop rendering before the end of the demo, press R.
