Venice Unleashed

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.

Love what you did and the video is pure awesome. If you add some text in there such as "IGN Approves" and such, it could easily replace a trailer so we kinda got a close-to in-engine recording tool now

Thing is though, how does this work in pub games? I mean, there is no Spectator TEAM so how do the spectators... well.. spectate? Also, I assume the FP POV was you playing and shooting to make it look more like a trailer, but do you think it will be possible in the future? Mebi engine access o-o

Thank you!

UAVs spectator is not very useful, because it is visible for enemies. They start trying to destroy it, but they can't, this disrupts the gameplay. That's why UAVs spectator is more useful for filming machinimas...but who want to film bfbc2 machinima in 2013

This spectator is more useful

but it works only with dx10, only on windows 7 and on 602574 client's patch...and it's a cheat
I have no idea how cheat-developers do this, maybe cheat find palyer's camera position parameters and change them, something like this

nice work! my old ideea.... i make for movie makers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRJxyUsBR4A all vehicles is invisibles , heli ,tank ,cars.,,,, open in game files(client only)\level-00\levels\mp_005\Shaders and replace shaders from another map she dont have vehicles and not see vehicles. only you not see vehicles



when you respawn back on a player's position see player, is not posible to do (camera) not be bound by the player? and in this time ,befour respawn ,players have free camera? just an idea

Nice idea, but it's too hard to do. It is possible to change respawn camera position, but move...

It is possible to change respawn camera position


ooo nice !
Change respawn camera position like first person position and wen you want to respawn to see just what the other player sees, so you can see if the other has : wallhack
as a way to find

I don't think it's possible to move the killcam to 1st person or at least to the point where he would be able to be spotted if he is hacking. Even if he is hacking.. you can't do anything about it yet so what's the point.

Alright, I find almost all of them, but how can you guys turn the HUD (minimap and flags in the bottom-left of the screen)off? That
s amazing!

I didn't find a way to disable minimap and the messages in the center of the screen, but
