Guide to Battlerecorder Options

[MonkeyFiend]

As you may know our server records battlerecorder on every match. Due to the size of battlerecorder files and bandwidth limitations, we keep the last 15 matches - which means the files are usually there 24-48 after they have been recorded.

The files themselves can be downloaded in-game, by opening battlerfield and clicking the community tab and selecting the game you wish to download.

Additionally the files can be downloaded manually from http://sneakymonkeys.com/demos - simply click on the file that you want (Note the times here are in US time as the files are stored on a US server, to download files at the correct time: add 6 hours) and save it to your My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\demos folder

Once you've done this, it should appear in the game, again under the community tab. Clicking on the match will launch it.

You should now be able to cheese it around the game much like spectating in free-cam on the server as normal. There are ther options for video playback such as playback speeds. Details below:
