Release: BattleLauncher 1.1.2 [Image heavy]

Here is the next version of BattleLauncher (BL), my tool for working with the BattleRecorder and its files.

http://www.battlelauncher.com

It has developed from a simple GUI for the demo.cmd file to an advanced replacement that makes it a lot easier to work with the BattleRecorder aspect of Battlefield 2.

It is currently available in four languages: English, Spanish, Swedish and Italian.

This new version, v1.1.2, comes with a range of new functionalities compared to the old version that I released in June, v1.0.1.

You can for instance:

Launch Singleplayer games
Launch your recorded demos
Record cameras to go with your demos
Capture sound off Battlefield 2
Render your footage to video
Download your demo bookmarks through BL
Edit your profiles' graphics settings directly through BL
Connect to servers and execute chat commands


The chat command functionality is the latest big function, together with the sound capture. It was designed with movie making teams in mind and can be used to effectively shoot movies online without the need of the auto-record feature of the BattleRecorder. With simple chat commands like !action and !cut, you can turn on and off the demo recording on the remote server. See below for download link and link for the chat command tutorial.

this sounds great but i dont see screen shots. have u considered using imageshack

[Senap]

That's odd. Do you see my sig? because my signature is stored on the same server. Try using Ctrl+F5 (hard refresh) and see if it loads..

Senap, amazing work - really nice to see so much effort put into something of this calibre.

[Cqua]

[CrazedJ0k3r]

I downloaded it and I'm confused about one thing: How to you record the camera view in to video??:confused: (I'm a little new to this)

[Senap]

Thanks for your comments guys ^_^

In the filelist, you must select both a camera file and a demo file before running BF2 in "render to video" mode. BL will tell you anyway that you need to select both.

If you're talking about recoding camera views.. press "Play demo, record camera" and the game will record all your camera movements to a bf2cam file.

one question. for the graphics when u change it does it effect the graphics u play, or the ones it records?

[Little_Donkey]

So far it looks great

[Senap]

Thanks guys for your comments ^_^
I'm glad the tool will be put into good use.

one question. for the graphics when u change it does it effect the graphics u play, or the ones it records?

Graphics are never recorded to the bf2demo file. So the graphics depend on what profile you load up the file with (it is automatically the last one that you logged into the game with)

[Punisher18]

so when you record something, it will put it in the community downoads section of the in-game interface menu thing. and than you DL it?
also if that is how you do it i used to have many files that were from battle recorder on there. but whenever i tried to download them it said server disconnected or download failed. any help please...

[Punisher18]

another question. is this a recording device or is it just used to launch battlefield programs.(because i am looking for a good program that i can use to record myself playing, and that is nice and easy) so if someone could point me in the direction of an easy and good recording program for bf2 that would be very much appreciated.

Not if you record something locally (i.e. a singleplayer game or similar), then the file is directly saved to a folder called Demos in your mods\bf2 folder. It's only when you play online on a server with the BattleRecorder enabled that you need to download the files.

BattleLauncher does not do any recording of any type except the much appreciated sound recording feature that is missing from Battlefield 2/BattleRecorder. I don't see why I would spend time to code in a feature to capture video when the BattleRecorder has a "Render to Video" option.

If you're looking for something like FRAPS then you should go with.. well FRAPS.
