Some really good stuff on that link.
1. How to remove the time limit from the demo.
2. How to disable those start movies :D
My biggest tweak to BF2 will be when I install it for the first time upon release.......hopefully play.com will post it out to me real quick :)
Nice find though OB :thumbsup:
TL.
Aye - I've been playing on no timelimit servers since I discovered them last night :D
any ideas which files to rename in the full version to skip intro screens as they are different to the ones in the demo?
Is there any command to stop the start-up crap and go straight to the game?
You can normally add a few lines in your shortcut to miss them out.

cheers...
do I just copy them into bf2?
I renamed the original movies folder in the BF2 dir (just added Orig in front) and dropped the movies folder from this in there instead.
Ok just spent nearly a full day getting a customers rig to run BF2,what a bast***.
Do all the usuall,defrag,latest drivers(audio driver corruption was main problem for this rig,causing a hard lock).Then go to the link in the first post,get diskeeper and follow instructions on page file setting and moveing.Its worth the effort,speeds everything up no end,stops certain crashes and gets you into the game quicker.Pagefile set at 1024 with max also set at 1024(thats for 1024 ram).Is it possible to have some where for problems and fixes,so we can all check and cure. :D
Machine specs:
AMD64 3000
ATI X700Pro 256
1024M DDR400 DC
anyone got a no CD crack for this yet ????
yes I know google is my friend ;)
but gettin' the time to sit down on here and do my stuff is rare as I am always doing my homework stuff from work ATM :(
<_<
Yeah BB found one.
Go to http://www.gamecopyworld.com/ (http://www.gamecopyworld.com/)

The following excellent piece of work was written by Random Skratch on the BF2 forum.
Okay I think I've decyphered this mysterious file as best as I can.
First make sure you're editing the right Controls.con file
\My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\Profiles\0001 or 0002 (or more)
Double check Global.con in Profiles dir to see what one it calls.
The file is separated into 7 sections.
1. Infantry
2. Land
3. Air
4. Helicopter
5. Sea
6. Game Control (GUI, and other ingame things)
7. Player Input (Mouse look, camera, change inventory)
-------------------
Anatomy of the bind
-------------------
ControlMap.[Type of control] [action] [controller type] [key, button, axis] [key variable] [primary or alternate]
Everything starts with ControlMap. Don't change this or forget to add it.
---------------
Type of Control
---------------
The following are the available types of control
1. addbuttontotriggermapping (Mouse or joystick/pad button)
2. addkeytotriggermapping (Keyboard key)
3. addaxistotriggermapping (Mouse or Joystick axis)
4. addkeystotriggermapping (Keyboard keys that are bound to joint controls; walk forward/back, strafe left/right)

left/right)

---------------
Controller Type
---------------
This is tied into the second part (after the .)
It's pretty simple
IDFKeyboard - Keyboard Key
IDFMouse - Mouse
IDFGameController_0 - Joystick (If you have more than one, change the _0 to read _1, _2, etc. **It always needs a
number and even if you have 1 stick, it should read _0. Remember computers start count at 0, not 1)
The reason why this is needed is because you can bind Axis controls to Keyboards, Mice, AND sticks. Same with
Triggers.
-----------------
Key, Button, Axis
-----------------
This is where you select the key that is being bound.
I've included a list of what every key is called.
You should have no problem binding joystick buttons or mice buttons (I use a bunch on my Logitech MX510). I also
didn't include what they are because every joystick and mouse are different.
-------------
Keyboard Keys
-------------
IDKey_KEYNAMEHERE
The Alphabet is just the letter (A-Z)
The Top number row are just the numbers (1-0)
The F keys just F1-F12
Special Keys
------------
` - Grave
Print Screen - PrintScreen
(Top row number line)
- - Subtract
= - Equals
Backspace - Backspace
Tab -Tab
CAPS - Capital
Shift - LeftShift/RightShift
Control - LeftCtrl/RightCtrl
Alternate - LeftAlt/RightAlt
Windows Key - LeftWin/RightWin (Yes I was suprised it used these as well!)
Space - Space
[ - LeftBracket
] - RightBracket
\ - Backslash
; - Semicolon
' - Apostrophe
, - comma
. - period
/ - slash
Return (or enter) - Enter
Insert - Insert
Delete - Delete
Home - Home
End - End
PageUp - PageUp
PageDown - PageDown
Number Pad Numbers - NumPad1-0
Number Pad / - Divide
Number Pad * - Multiply
Number Pad - - Minus
Number Pad + - Add
Number Pad Enter - NumpadEnter
Number Pad . - Decimal
I think that's all of em!
------------
Key Variable
------------
This is what defines the key to be either one shot or press and hold repeat or double tap. (Confusing??)
Okay example, when you press W to walk forward, you would set that to hold and repeat. If it was one shot, your guy
would walk forward one step and stop. And example of one shot would be weapon select. IF you press 3 to select your
main gun, it chooses it. Even if you hold down the key it will only go once then stop. If this was set to hold
repeat, your gun would be continously switching between firing modes. Double tap are keys like sprint (I think that's actually the only one that is double tap).
The codes are as follows
0 - Hold and repeat
1000 - Double tap
10000 - One Shot
I experimented with changing some of these from their defaults to different types and the game doesn't like it very well. I suggest you keeping all of the defaults the way they are.
If you are building the Controls.con file from the ground up, I suggest looking at the default one for the proper
settings. I'm not going to post all of them here.
--------------------
Primary or Alternate
--------------------
It's a good idea to follow all of the lines with a 0
This signifies the default button
If you want an alternate button do the following
Copy and paste the line you want an alternate to
Change the appropriate key
Change the final 0 to a 1.
-------------
**JOINT BINDS
-------------
Treat these binds the same as single binds but you need to enter 2 keys or buttons or axis.
UP then DOWN
RIGHT then LEFT
It's a bit backwards (normally it's left then right).
THe way these are designed you cannot make one a mouse button and one a keyboard.
The only way to go around this is to make one set primary and the other alternate.
------------------
Well I think that just about wraps it up. If anyone has any questions after, please don't hesistate to ask.
I'm also TRYING (repeat) TRYING to learn Visual Basic to create a small program to make this bind file with ease.
I'll let you know if I come up with anything or if anyone else has more programming skill than me (I can set the clock
on the VCR), let me know if you want to help out.
Good Luck!
