Quick copy and paste


============================================================
just to make things easy, lets combine all known tweaks into one post
smile.gif

1) to run BF2 in 1280x1024 resolution:

add these parametres to your BF shortcut
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe" +menu 1
+fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024


2) to remove the tutorial voice:

open the Common_client.zip file in mods\bf2\ and in the sound\english
directory in the archive there is a directory called "help_vo" just
delete this directory and the tutorial voice will bother you no more

3) to remove the intro/nag screens:
in the directory mods\bf2\movies there are all the bik files that get
played when the game is run...

just replace the bik files with text files of the same name (eg delete
the EA.bik file, then create a new text document called EA.bik ...
just leave it as an empty file) replace all of the file in the movie
directory except for the menu, menu_loggedin & noise bik files... they
are the main menu background videos...

4) to remove the SP timelimit: (thanks masterpie smile.gif )
To get rid of the single player time,

open the following file in wordpad: gpm_cq.py
Find the following line host.registerHandler('TimeLimitReached',
onTimeLimitReached, 1), put a # in front of it.

5) to increase the bot # higher than 16: (thanks shadowknight
smile.gif )

edit the mods\bf2\ai\aidefault.ai file with notepad. Rem out the 3
lines above the section mentioning the unsupported bot numbers, and
then un-rem the 4 lines below..
you can change the number of bots from 32 to whatever... 50 seems a
good maximum number for the gulf of oman 16 player map... nay more and
it gets too bottlenecked

feel free to add stuff to this post

============================================================

And another link from the previous site

============================================================
Enables the 32 singleplayer map (I tried it, it works but the AI path
finding is all messed up... The bots do fly the heli's and fly them
well

Nice thanks, that one was new for me ;)

I get a performance hit when the dumbass starts talking, so I am very
happy to see him go! :)

Demo recording and playback is working for the single player. It
records everything, has variable speed, freecam, follow any player,
etc... Suppose to have an export feature to Xvid/Divx etc... It's
looking better

demo.recordDemo nameofmovie
demo.stoprecording

you have to cut/paste or copy the demo directory from BattleField 2
demo/mods/bf2/ to My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\Profiles\Default.
After that it'll show up under the community selection of the menu

Only thing it's missing is rewind. I think we'll see some great videos
in the future from this game.
