Video tip: clean BF2142 BattleRecorder
When you film BattleRecorder action with a program like FRAPS or wegame, you notice that there are a lot of ugly non-game-related things on the screen: things like the players disconnecting from the server, the nametags above players' heads, the name of the currently selected soldier, etc.
To disable all of these (in order to get a clean, professional image), do the following two steps. Step 1 is quick, easy, and takes care of most things -- you probably just want to do that. Step 2 is for the truly paranoid amongst us.
1. Press the tilde key ~ to bring up the console and type:
renderer.drawHUD 0
This removes EVERYTHING, including that handy commo rose for selecting whether the file is playing or paused, and at what speed it is playing.
To turn the HUD back on, type:
renderer.drawHUD 1
2. To stop drawing nametags above players' heads, do the following:
- Back up the file: Open up C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\GameLogicInit.con somewhere safe
- Create a file on your desktop named "GameLogicInit.con"
- Copy the contents from the original file into the new one on your desktop
- Add the following line in your new file:
renderer.drawnametags 0
- Save the file on your desktop
- Copy that file, and paste it into the original directory mentioned above -- do overwrite the old file
This will remove all tags, friendly and enemy, from the game.
Do note that you can't play on ranked servers after doing this as the game is considered modified. So, when you're done filming your sexy footage, go ahead and copy the backup into the directory, and overwrite your modified file. That should put everything back to normal.
That's all.

Zho you should add your tip on increasing the speed in battlerecorder..
Also, to make it easier I copy these files into a new area, 1 setup for game play, and the other for recording, and script the move of these files for an easy and reliable change over:
Recording.bat
Playing.batCode:copy "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Recording\Recording\Menu_server.zip" "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Menu_server.zip" copy "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Recording\Recording\GameLogicInit.con" "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\GameLogicInit.con" PAUSE
Code:copy "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Recording\Playing\Menu_server.zip" "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Menu_server.zip" copy "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Recording\Playing\GameLogicInit.con" "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\GameLogicInit.con" PAUSE
Now all I need is done by 1 small file, and another file to revert.BF3 Soldier: DrSparky

I never thought to share that lol!
Also, the Sir. Community have Battledirector, which will do this for you if you do not want to make changes on your own. You can just click a button on the program and it'll revert back to your defaults.
On a side note, if you do just use the first option of removing everything, the number keys (1-8 or so) let you control the speed and pause the playback.

Re: Video tip: clean BF2142 BattleRecorder
Is it possible to select the view of a specific person in BR so that you just follow around that one person? Or is that only BattleDirector? I can't get BD to stay open for me (after the map is done loading and I click "Join", or whatever it is, the game crashes.

Thanks Zhohar. I was wondering if there was some way to remove the text.
Press and hold T button and "Player Cam" appears. Click on it and it begins to follow an individual player. Press and hold T button again and you have the option of changing players with the previous and next options. I think this what you are looking for.
