My crappy post about how Fraps sucks inspired me to put this togeather quick. The moment I learned how simple it is to watch BR videos and record them, I thought I would make this thread for others who thought like me (Didn't want to bother with it/didn't care so much/didn't know how)

Its simple. Thanks to LawJik, r00ts, Doggehspike and others I put this togeather:

First Step: Finding the Demos
  • First click on your 'COMMUNITY' Tab up by your 'OPTIONS' tab in the BF2 menu.
  • Any server you played on that had BR running will be listed under your 'BattleRecorder Bookmarks'
  • Click on anyone (do the most recent dated ones, older ones might not work) and click download.
  • The Demo now shows up to the right in the 'BATTLERECORDER LIBRARY'
  • Click 'Load Game' at the bottom.
  • Thats it! Now you can watch the game! Press 'spacebar' to switch to a player.
Example:https://www.lawjik.net/steve/bf2/BRcommunity.JPG
  • The demos are saved in your: Drive:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\Demos folder.-------------------------------------------Next Step: Battlerecorder Commands
    • This is an easy one, I will just post a link that has all the commands:BattleRecorder Playback Commands
    • Play with them and just have fun watching everybody and working on your camera abilites.

    -------------------------------------------

    Next Step: Video Capturing
    • The above image shows what fraps looks like. Its simple to use, there is really no need to explain it. Just set your hotkey for recording video and press when you want to capture the video in BattleRecorder or in a live game.

    • I like to record live games getting first person views, then BR shots for third person and so on. Make sure to press the capture video hotkey again to stop recording, its better to have seperate files then having one huge file.

    • Open up the folder where you saved your fraps videos and drag them into Windows Movie Maker, OR Open  WMM first and located them.
      ------------------------------------------

      Well that concludes my guide for dummies. Hope it helps someone

Is there anyway to see the number of tickets left in a BR file?

Well there are a lot of things I havent figured out! the toggle hud doesn't work, it just says wrong syntax! I type renderer.drawhud and press enter it then shows up a 1 under what I type...I then type 'renderer.drawhud[0] and it says error wrong syntax! or something. I thought 0 means off, and 1 means on right? so how would I get it to turn on?

And how to you get rid of all the kill messages? I remember seeing tons of videos where none of that was there...Im pretty sure.

I thought it was 'renderer.drawhud 0' instead of 'renderer.drawhud[0]'?

The second image doesnt work

Also..I dont mean to be a pain, but:

Although, that one isnt actually finished AND doesnt include about downloading from a remote server.

Nice guide though,

Meh, I read that one. It's not as simple and straight foward as this.

I fixed the image. It showed up for me last night, its the same image off fraps website...I don't think there is anyway to show the HUD in battlerecorder.


New question: Is there anyway to get rid of all the kill messages at the top left? I know a lot of you out there have made your own videos, can you do this?
