Everytime I try this in game (Of course I remove name for the video name I wish) It say the message
Cannot create on client side.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

ru sure ur playing on a server with the battle recorder on? some servers turn off the battle recorder.
Recording
Create a LAN server on any map or start up a SP game.
Press your tilde(~ or `) and bring down the console.
Type in demo.recordDemo demoname where demoname is the name of the file. Name it whatever. “Demo1”, “Gulf_Demo”, or “Stewed_Rabbit”. Whatever, it’s your choice. No spaces though. Spaces are used to separate arguments.
Now for the fun part. Do all those things you’re too arsed to do in a real match. Blow shit up, kill yourself, bunny hop with your n00b t00b. Fly loops, try and fit through the damn Kubra holes, etc, etc.
When you’re done, open the console again and type in demo.stoprecording
Note: Unlike the Unreal Engine demos, leaving a game in progress with a demo recording session will not save the demo, but instead leave the demo unplayable. Stop recording first, before leaving the match.
Replaying
There are two ways to play your demo;
If you want to play them through your Community tab you have to move the demo files from ..\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Demos\ to ..\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\demos\ and then you can play them in game.
It’s a bit of a hassle to play them outside becuase you have to restart BF2 each time you play a different demo, but you needn’t move any files.
First you have to make two batch files. I’d put the text here but it’ll make this seem long and confusing (like it isn’t already) so http://www.tweakguides.com/files/BF2DemoPlayer.zip. (Kudos for TweakGuides.com for these files)
Extract them to your raw BF2 directory and run either one.
One is loaded with instructions and you must open it in the command prompt to check them out, it’s the only way to record, save video definition files, etc, stuff you can’t do while normally playing it back through the community tab.
The other file is an auto-player for your basic needs. The upside of these are that you are loaded with extra options and needn’t move any files (if you’re one of those people who are very very afraid to move anything out of its place). However the disadvantage is that you have to start the game just to play it and when you’re done the game quits. Not much of a nuisance if you’re a fast loader, and it’s definately worth the extra options.

Check your Main BF2 directory for a file called "demo.cmd" ... if its there i have nothing to tell you...however if it ISNT... this is what you should do...
Open NotePad and copy/paste all the text below into it. Save the file as demo.cmd in your EA Games/Battlefield 2 directory... it should work and leave your demo files in /mods/bf2/demos

This can be done on any online server WITHOUT battlerecorder right?
As this is a seperate way of recording from B.recorder?

NO nope and nope...it is only useable in singleplayer/local games...i misundertsood the topic...Picouz/VoiD wrote:

not sure exactly but when BF2 came out it was posted everywhere. o and also(DUH) it was written by some programmer at DICE and he released it on his own accord as an easy workaround.Picouz/VoiD wrote:

Ah ok I understand sorry for the stupid questions
The only thing is running fraps in game slows me down >>
And the Battlerecords when I download them they either error or when completed they dissapear.

I think you need to get 1.21 patch if you don't have it.
Servers only hold 30 BRecorder files at a time, if you come more than 30 rounds later then you're f*cked.Picouz/VoiD wrote:

It only works on singleplayer. Want to download from the server? Get the admin to set it up right.
Otherwise, get the admin to give you the demo if autorecord is on.
