Hello all. Ever notice the awesome cursor BF2 has? Ever wonder how to get it on your regular monitor? Well with this guide you CAN!

Requirements:
Stardock cursor XP
BF2
Some time.

The first step is simple:
Download the FREE version of Stardock cursor XP off of CNet. No worries about spy ware, I've used it and nothing happened.

http://www.download.com/CursorXP/3000-2 … l?tag=list

Step 2:
Open it.

Step 3:
Open the scroll down box under "theme"

Step 4:
Click <New Theme>

Step 5:
Click The configure button under the scroll box.

Step 6:
Click on the picture labeled "Normal Select".

Step 7:
Click "Configure" in the bottom right of the window.

Step 8: Click "Enhanced Cursor".

Step 9: Click "Import".

Step 10 (The tricky part):
Go to this file: C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 2/mods/bf2/menu/external/Flash Menu/Cursor

Step 11:
Click on "cursor_arrow".

Step 12: Click "Open".
The regular arrow should be replaced by the BF2 Arrow.

Repeat steps 6-12 for the following, listed with their counterparts:
Working in background - cursor_wait
Busy - cursor_busy
Text Select - cursor_text
Hand - cursor_arrow

Step 12: Click "Save As".
Name it whatever you want.

Step 13: Save it!

Final Step:

Click on the scroll down box and select it, then click the OK button at the bottom.

That's it! I don't know what the others do, but you can play with them if you like. PM me any questions you have.

The Arrow is the main cursor, the 2 is for busy.

Or simply got to control panel, mouse, change cursor and find your BF2 folder. There it is. No need for mem eating software.

I'm going to post more details in 5 minutes.

Go to Control panel -> Mouse -> Cursors, click change cursor, then go to C:\Progtram files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\BF2\menu\External\FlashMenu\Cursor

There are all the BF2 cursors.

Screenshot, click for full-size. It shows my swedish Windows version, but you get the point.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Yeah I made the 2142 loading cursor as my 'loading cursor' a while ago. I like it. I think its better than the rotating 2.

Heh. I play 2142 now. And i have a walker. If he can post a cursor where the walker walks into a brick wall (as it's bound to do at some point) I'll give him karma every day for the next month.

Quite possibly the sole reason i left BF2.

And I remember playing with you on the BF2s EU server. The 1337 chopper if I remember right.
