Project Reality Forums

Hi,

I really look forward to being a part of the project reality community. But I have two items I would like to address. I would like to reinstall BF2, because I used a crack for convince back in the day... But if I re-install and re-patch will my mods be deleted? Because I dont want to have to download them all over again and I have to many mods to copy with out having to wait three hours!

Second, well, two things more... I want to remove the blur when bullets land near me on PR SP, does any one no how? Also, my internet is rather slow, what is the bandwidth limit? Its probably just something not important... But I would like to know before re-installing and shit... I run about 256kbs surfing...

Thank You

well save/backup the mods you want in the mods folder found in the battlefield 2 folder

To my knowledge, reinstalling and repatching will remove everything. You can copy your Program Files/Battlefield 2/mods folder and place it on your desktop or hard drive. You don't have to copy the bf2 folder, or xpack, they'll reinstall when you install the game again.

Once everything is installed again, copy the individual mod folders to your new mods folder. Hope you have the latest PR version, which is .756. You should be able to play, but some things may be different, such as localization files, etc.

It's best to have the .exe installer of the mod download in case you ever need to reinstall BF2 in the future.

As for removing the suppression effect, that is considered a cheat, so I can't help you there. I understand there are performance issues with some slower computers, but I believe the DEV team are working on fine-tuning it.

Welcome to Project Reality

The thing is, suppression effects is part of the overall game. Thus, in my opinion, even removing them in single player is a cheat. HOWEVER, since it does not affect other people, it's not really a "bad" cheat.

But theoretically there should be a way to do it. That is, according to my knowledge, there is a way, but if it can be done in single player(and is posted), someone else can create a cheat for MP. And I doubt any dev or mod wants that.

Hhmm... Thanks everyone, thats a good idea exile, but I just backed my mod folder, 3 and a half hours ...

I want to remove the suppression in PR SP as I have done my own modding to my PR SP I have a separate mod for it, and an un modded copy of the mod and the newest version, like you needed for the original version.

True, Exiled, however, as stated by OiSkout, the cheat can be used for online play, as well. RedSand's intentions are innocent, but some passerby reading may use it wrongly.

However, PR online servers check for shaders these days, so maybe if Red contacted a developer and asked to use it only offline, maybe he/she will okay it. <-- Speculation.

lol, don't copy the mods folder, move it! It's a lot quicker.

Well lol, heres the conclusion... Turns out at some stage I have corrupted my copy of PR.exe... I have to re-download it anyway... But the re-install went good...

If a dev any idea pm me, though i think the server wont allow a user to join unless the mods sever and client files are identical...

Theoretically, you could simply remove the warning video that prevents you from playing PRSP from the BF2 executable. Then, when running Single Player, I believe the shaders will be disabled.

There is no threat of this working online, as it is the very reason servers check for shaders today. If you tried to do this to your Multiplayer build, you would not be able to play on any public server.

Removed the movie folders from both mods and nothing...

Still suppression...
