Hello, I want to speak about spectator mode and HUD disabling in BFBC2. I read some forums for this theme and I find only one working spectator for BFBC2...It was cheat and it didn't work with latest bfbc2 patch and with dx11
As I know, first fan-made spectator for BF3 was made with MAV and BF3 Editor (then released VeniceFX and Free Camera) I try to do somethink like this for BFBC2.
I'm making some progress in this, here you can see what I'm talking about
As you can see on the video, there are no noise and black and white filter in UAV, also there are no nicknames over the players and vehicles, but I can't disable crosshair, chat and some parts of minimap
that's why there are black borders on my video
If you want to disable UAV filters:
1) Open a map with mod tools where you want to disable UAV filter
for example "...:\Program Files (x86)\...\...\Package\levels\mp_007 \level-00.fbrb"
go to "\Objects\Vehicles\Air\UAV"
2) Search for "textures/
you can see something like this "textures/ui/hudfx_rollingbar/b7f913a6-e62e-4350-8fdc-83348684dd61"
and 4 other lines
change them to "textures/ui/", or maybe you can just delete them - I didn't test this.
3) Serch for Crosshair and change all parametrs like Scale, Opacity to 0
4) Go to the end of the file and search for "ColorTint" and press find previous
chage parametrs to
<complex name="ColorTint">
<complex name="Contrast">1.0/1.0/1.0/*zero*</complex>
<complex name="Brightness">1.0/1.0/1.0/*zero*</complex>
<complex name="Saturation">1.0/1.0/1.0/*zero*</complex>
<field name="Hue">0</field>
</complex>
5) Near the "ColorTint" parametr (in the end of the file) you can see "InterpolatedBrightness"
change it to
<complex name="InterpolatedBrightness">
<field name="BaseStrength">1.0</field>
<field name="StrengthDeviation">0</field>
<field name="StrengthRecursiveScale">0.800000011921</field>
</complex>
or you can set the values that you want.
6) Serch for "Ghosts" and change all paramets in "Ghost0", "Ghost1", "Ghost2" to 0
7) Save/archive/
To disable nicknames over the players and vehicles go to "...:\Program Files (x86)\...\...\Package\async\startup-00.fbrb
then go to "\Menu\hud_root.dbx" and chnge parametrs to 0.
If you want indestructible UAV open "...\dist\linux\levels\mp_common\level-00.fbrb" (server) then go to "Objects\Vehicles\Air\UAV\UAV.dbx" search for Health and change all health parametrs to 100000000000, also you can change water damage and other damage parametrs.
That's what I know about this, If you know how to disable all HUD, enable alternative spectator or something else, tell us.
