I have read various stuff about setting this up. I want to run it on the computer I am playing on and I have followed the instructions for that - but I get error messages which I cannot seem to find the solution to. Is there anyone here who has succesfully enabled the battlerecorder? If so, could you please post your setup :blush: :)
I enable it and set it up, and the game loads fine and the recorder is enabled. But - afterwards it is having trouble saving. I have done various fine tuning, but no dice.
Is there a chance that this will be enabled on the new server? In that way we can look through past matches form various angles after the game :)

This would be fantastic...
Particularly as we are all mates here - it would be nice to go over this kind of stuff and add to the fun.
There are definately parts of last nghts game I would love to have kept as little movies!
(Can you output Battlerecorder stuff as little movies that we can distribute?)

We will investigate it's use and it's impact on lag etc.
If i remember correctly, Jonny AKA Freelancer, did a little movie of him flying and dubbed top gun music...

Impact on server performance The Battle recorder feature can impact server performance in two ways: * A bandwidth hit (if the demos are uploaded on the same machine that is running the game server.) We strongly recommend that you do not run battlerecorder on the same server you are using to host gameplay. Instead, set up a separate ftp server to host demo files.
* A performance hit - dependant on the demo quality setting, which is found on the BF 2 server launcher UI. The demo quality setting can range from the default setting of 1 (lowest quality / minimal performance hit) to 10 (maximum quality / biggest performance hit.) Depending on the server specifications, you'll want to set your demo quality appropriately. We recommend no more than quality 5, the highest quality was built in for users that are creating movies / trailers with the Battlefield 2 engine. Due to the demands even the lowest setting of quality can have, we do not recommend running Battlerecorder on any server that is configured for 64-players.
Requirements
* FTP server (only if using a separate machine from the server to host demos.)
* Web server - our in game downloading system requires http transfers, and does not support ftp downloading.
