Create a BF2 Demo video file storage location

[brusingbruno]

Scriv when the server is back up can you please make a place to on the website to put demo files for recording and admin purposes.

I will have to read-up and how to do it and give it a try. We need the recording capability. This is high priority.

[brusingbruno]

Thank you!

Instructions from our gaming server provider have been read and a follow-up email was sent providing the necessary information to set up the battlefield recording function to direct file storage to our =SWF= website.

Another email was sent to our website provider notifying them of the action and requesting their support.

Now, "standing by" to see what both companies have to say.

The Game Server Provider tested our =SWF= website (FTP) server and was unable to connect. sfscriv will confirm the FTP port is 21 as requested by the gaming server provider.

*** CuteFTP 8.0 - build May 23 2007 ***

We will continue to push on this issue. We may need to find another location to store BF2 video files and it may cost money. Please see what each of you can find out to get our Battlefield Recording feature operational.

Response from our =SWF= Website Host:

Your FTP settings are the keys that allow you to access your Web Hosting
account with an FTP tool. Each Web Hosting customer has a unique collection of settings; you can find yours in your Web Hosting Control Panel.

Your settings look like this:

- host address
- user login
- password

About uploading gaming videos on your website, we suggest you to read the
our terms of service: smallbusiness.yahoo.com/tos/tos.php
and please also send a mail:[e-mail]

You can provide links to multimedia files you have uploaded to your Web
Hosting files (Or your Files area for Legacy Stores). It is not possible
to provide streaming audio or video from your store if the streaming
process requires any special software to run on our servers.

As long as the file is able to stream content without any modifications
to our servers or special software to run on our servers, you should be
able to provide streaming audio or video from those files.

Please access the following link to check the list of supported files: help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/gftp/gftp-04.html

Don't know about you guys, but that is not clear solution. We will continue to work the issue.

All the server profiles have been configured to conduct Battlefield Recording. When you get enough players to start and finish a match check in the Community section of BF2 and try to Download the recording.

Let us know if it functions properly.

If it does function properly, we have one more advertising point to use in our Ad Campaign. Of the 2,800 some odd BF2 servers only about 1,200 have the Battlefield Recording enabled and many do not function properly.

The BF2 Integrated VoIP is functiong. The Battlefield Recording function is not functioning.

Yet Another, Trouble Ticket has been sent to the Game Server Provider and the Web Hosting Company.

Response from Game Server Support
I see part of the problem www.spartanwarfighters.net/bf2/demos is not a directory. I need it like this public_html/bf2/demos or just public_html/demos

Please change that and let me know. I will then modify the rotate demo config to match and we can try again


Spartan Response
I am sorry. I do not understand.

www.spartanwarfighters.net is the website and location to store the video files would be bf2/demos/ within the website.


Response from Game Server Support
you need an actualy directory to have them uploaded into, not the url.


Spartans, I still do not know what he is talking about. Assistance requested.

OK I may be very wrong here and totally on the wrong track but it sounds like he may be asking for an actual physical location to save the files to, for example you PC's public folder/bf2/demos, but I dont know how to do that or even if that is what is meant.

The reason for my saying this is because he asks for a directory not a URL, maybe he cannot store the files in the website but must store them on a PC first and then you can add them to the site??

I dunno, thats all guess work, but thats my thoughts.
