=EM= Clan Certified BC2 configurator! - The best :)

[psycho063]

Hello everyone. VERSION 1.12b IS RELEASED

Version 1.12 is a big step forward. It supports the latest client update (patch). But more importantly, the program now works for XP users! The reason behind the crash is insane: AN ICON (image) that should be shown in the upper left corner of the window caused the crash! Win7 and Vista can resize them but for XP it was too large so it crashed on launch!

My initial goal was to build a tool that would integrate all of the settings that are available in the .ini files in one, user friendly program.

There are quite a few options not available via the ingame configuration and I've made all of them (including the available ones) configurable, with tool tips that will explain in detail what each setting means.

If you screw something up, don't worry, load defaults, or UNDO the changes you made until that moment.

The main reason I created this was PRACTICE and FUN. I am still a beginner in programming so I had learnt quite a few things while making this program.

There were a few bumps on the road and a few bugs but, toghether with my clan, I've managed to overcome them. So all I can say in the end is: configure your game the way you want it and then enjoy it to the fullest.

Sure, there are other utilities with a similar function roaming around, but I wanted to make the most integrated one, with most options and with a clear yet user friendly interface.

Development of this tool took 2 weeks + a week of beta testing and fixing a few bugs.

Version 1.1 is up, download it from the link below!

Changelog (for full changelog refer to the readme):
v 1.12b
-Fixed the crash for WinXP users - it was caused by a WINDOW ICON!
-Changed the interface background color to white instead of "transparent" so that it looks good on XP systems

v 1.12a4
-Fixed a few more potential crashes

v 1.12a3
-Regional decimal separator for people using the "." instead of "," crashes fixed
-Inserted a failsafe that will detect and prevent crashes for people that used previous versions of the tool for sensitivity tweaks
-Updated the way the program calculates some values (should prevent value conversion crashes)

v 1.12a2
-Updated the sensitivity tweak to work with the latest patch

v 1.12a
-Updated the configurator to support the latest patch
-Possibly fixed the crash on startup for XP users (proved to be false)
-Fixed the speakercount setting where it would read an improper value. It was not a huge bug as it was actually saving the setting properly

MAIN FEATURES of the program:
-Disable "negative" acceleration and configure the sensativity values individually for on foot/vehicle/stationary/helicopter
-Presets for configuring the sensitivity settings with ease
-Restore last "backup" allows you to restore and load previously backed up settings in one click
-FOV configuration AUTOMATICALLY calculates the HORIZONTAL FOV for you
-Tweak those hidden settings (Bloom, Speaker size, directx mode, Graphics in detail)
-Lists with all available resolutions that your PC can display with the ability to set a custom resolution (with refresh rates)
-Voice Over language options have an information line that tells you EXACTLY how your enemies/squadmates will sound
-Sound settings have preset values that you can select by choosing the type of your CPU
-When you save your configuration you have an option to create a backup - you won't loose your settings by messing around
-Most of the commands have tooltips on mouse over that explain their function in detail
-The software automatically detects your BC2 configuration folder and your game folder so you don't have to configure anything and can launch it from anywhere
-Auto scales the application window in order to fit all of the controls on resolutions equal or below 1024x768

Usage tips:
HINT 1: Mouseover on the TITLE of any command to get a tooltip that shows you in detail what each command does.
HINT 2: To use the negative acceleration tweak click on the YES button, set your desired sensitivity settings and click the SAVE button (it will save all of your settings, including the tweak)
HINT 3: To restore the old mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings click on the NO button in the "Input" tab and again click the SAVE button OR use the RESTORE LAST BACKUP command.

Horrible post ?

Get flippin a grip.

Thanks to OP.

I may give this a bash and if I don't thanks anyway

[myameisdarin]

Good program, glad you added renderaheadlimit !!!!

[myameisdarin]

I keep getting an error. I will e-mail a picture to you.

Nice app - have passed it onto my clanmates (some of whom have older PCs).

Well done!

If it's an error about an unhandled exception with converting a string to a single, it's because for the brightness, contrast, VoipRecieveVolume and dialogue volume are getting an extra '.' added in them on save and a number like 0.0.0 is not valid. I am getting this error as well and once I removed the extra '.' from those values in the gamesettings.ini file the program would re-open without error, however upon saving it does the same thing.

Also, it would be great if you could add the mouse smoothing/negative acceleration fix, because the forced mouse smoothing in this game is one of the most frustrating things I have ever run into with a PC FPS game (No thanks dice, my mouse is not a low dpi controller joystick).

But anyways, thank you very much for posting this wonderful program! I look forward to seeing future updates.

Dont see the point of this all these settings are in game?

[hac11]

If you could pack in the sensivity settings from the .dbx files, then it would be prefect.

nice tool, thanks

I just noticed this too...

Yes, as been stated in one of the DEV interviews, there is no such code in BFBC2. If i find the link again will post it.

But on another note, great work on the utility and thanks for the time and effort you obviously put into this. Looks good.

[crsnwyby]

Just do it once in game then leave it alone, no need for this tool really.

[exo9999]

P.S. The render ahead limit actually has to do with how many frames the CPU will render ahead not the GPU as stated in the same interview. Reason for the limit set at 2 was CPU and GPU getting out of sync. just an FYI.

Actually until a proper patch comes along, one reason to edit via the ini or a program similar to this is, some in game settings revert back on their own from simply changing other settings.

For example, you cant turn off Bloom in game. But you can in the ini. Only problem is once you do that and then go in game and adjust say your video settings to medium, bloom gets automatically re-enabled. So using this is much easier, access to more then in game settings and no need to worry about settings reverting back on thier own.

Well set it up once and stop changing it... no need to go to medium if you can use high.

Unless its for people who like to cheat by turning down the GFX to see further.

My bloom has never changed and I mess with my settings all the time.....

[psycho063]

Version 1.01 is up
I've fixed the crash for users having their PCs set to US standards ("." is used as a decimal separator instead of ",")

Thanks to myameisdarin and omgpwntime for reporting the issue. I didn't notice it at first because my pc uses "," when calculating decimal numbers

Download link in the 1st post updated.

For the next version I plan to implement the sensitivity setting without the negative acceleration, stay tuned and enjoy.

You can at least take out "horrible post" to show some respect. Seriously don't ever shoot anyone's thread down like that unless they are crying. Even then you shouldn't go at them like at.

Great work by the way. I love this tool!

[mickeyofpoland]

Impressive. Well done mate!
