Battlerecorder & Streaming PB

[[Blackhand]]

Anyone got a good guide to doing the above. I have read loads of posts all over the forums but nothing tells me how using Clanforge.

[SAF.Ryan]

I would personally stream to punksbusted (PsB) due to the extensive database they have.

Here is a complete step-by-guide to doing it with multiplay:

h**p://punksbusted.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12403

(change the h**p to the proper one of course :)

I do believe battlerecorder demo's are saved, although not looking into it much I cannot tell you anymore. By default on our clan server it does save demo's although the frequency/length etc I don't know. It will all be changeable though of course ;)

That guide is VERY out of date. All you need to do is add the streaming addon in ClanForge.

[SAF.Ryan]

That is true actually...thats what happens for having used multiplay since the stone age and losing track off the latest addons :p

What K said ;)

What streaming addon I am bit new at this only had server 3 days. lol

[[MFI}Rancid]

Hi my clan have just rented a clanserver from you and im having probs streaming to PB too.... Also i'm new to clanforge so be gentle :)

[SAF.Ryan]

You'll find the streaming addon, in the profiles section in clanforge. Under one of the tabs.

It sets up the logging for you. However never having used it myself, a multiplay staff member would be better able to help you guys :)

[[MFI}Rancid]

ye ive added that and made sure my clan id is in for punksbusted but still no stream :(

any admins out there that can advise?

[SAF.Ryan]

I will be doing this with 2 of our servers a bit later on today. If you get no response before then, i'll let you know mate as best I can.

[[MFI}Rancid]

cheers would be very helpful :D:

[SAF.Ryan]

To be honest I would still use this method:

h**p://punksbusted.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12403

Reason been, it can be made fully up-to-date, and it works perfectly. I would stick with it myself. The module has been added and there is nothing to say that people shouldn't use it, it does work of course ;)

Rancid, if you need help (its not a hard guide in particular, just long) send me a PM on here. If need be, I would be more than happy to set it up for you, all ready for your own server.
If that is what you wouldn't mind doing send me your punksbusted ClanID, BF2 server IP address, and any server messages/rules you want displayed in-game. I'll set up the screenshots and other configs to match up with the recommended ones.
If, on the other hand you want to do this yourself and learn it, thats also cool ;)

[[MFI}Rancid]

cheers ryan its all sorted now getting stream and pb screenshots

thx again :D

even sussed the big orange text in game rules too :)
just put §C1001§3 before all rules etc. in modmanager.con

[SAF.Ryan]

Good for you mate ;) And np.

Anyone know the best setting to use for pic qualty IE size and sharpness.

// Larger screenshots
//pb_sv_SsWidth 780 //[Requested pixel width of remote screenshots]
//pb_sv_SsHeight 380 //[Requested pixel height of remote screenshots]
//pb_sv_SsSrate 2 //[Sample Rate for remote screenshots]

// Smaller screenshots, will have a higher return rate
pb_sv_SsWidth 320 //[Requested pixel width of remote screenshots]
pb_sv_SsHeight 240 //[Requested pixel height of remote screenshots]
pb_sv_SsSrate 2 //[Sample Rate for remote screenshots]

Can the sizes given be altered IE 320*240 to say 500*420.
What dose the pb_sv_sssrate do ? what do you change it to for better quality.

[SAF.Ryan]

There isn't a 'best' setting really. The ones that are ready in the psb configs are the recommended ones from there.

I would keep sample rate on 2 and maybe use the larger screenshot size.

Yes you can put in custom dimensions and the pb_sv_sssrate is the quality, with 1 been the best. I wouldn't bother changing it though. 2 is fine.

If you get any wierd lag, make the screenshots smaller, or change the frequency of screen captures.

Hope that helps,

~Ryan

Thanks For The Help.

[[Blackhand]]

even sussed the big orange text in game rules too
just put §C1001§3 before all rules etc. in modmanager.con

Can you give me an example please I want to be able to do this as well please. Also dose anyone know how you put the greeting message on screen I was on a server a couple of weeks ago and it said welcome to the BLAH server Blackhand I thought this was cool.

[[MFI}Rancid]

in modmanager abt serverjoin msg like this
mm_announcer.addJoinMessage "§C1001Hi %player%. Welcome to [MFI] Mad Fraggin Idiots|§C1001FOLLOW THE IN GAME RULES!!! "

that come up in small orange...

example of in game rule in big orange also in modmanager.con

mm_announcer.addTimedMessage "15:150:§C1001§3NO BASE RAPING WHAT SO EVER!"

hope that helps

note the §3 (enables big font)after the §C1001 (orange text)

[[Blackhand]]

Thanks for that any ideas if you can change the colour from orange IE red also what about different size text other then the 3 size used here.

[SAF.Ryan]

I would not alter the size of the text, just stick with the colour.

Although it is done on a lot of servers, it is actually breaking EA policy on what can be done on ranked servers.
