Capturing the ambience of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
This WW2 shooter tests players' tactics, rather than their reflexes, as they advance along the French countryside.
Follow my instructions, slightly modified from a now-inaccessible forum post:
Apply Windows 7 SDK fix: download the Windows 7 fix (EiB or RtH30) , and extract the contents to your BiA\System folder
Install SDK: check [Rendroc's] site for the download links. Rather than run the SDK, open it in 7Zip and extract its contents to the game's root directory.
Test “UnrealEd.exe” in BiA\System. You may or may not need to run this with Windows Compatibility Mode for Windows 2000 or XP.
The original forum post goes on to describe how to compile the game's script files, for more advanced modifications. However I personally couldn't get this working, even after installing a mod that purports to fix this.
Open the map you want to capture in UnrealEd. Find the Player Start actor and delete all starting weapons from it. This will ensure you can capture footage without a weapon drawn. Click the joystick icon to play your modified map.
Open Bia.ini in a text editor. Change Consolekey to 192. Change bEnableDebugConsoleAndMenu to True. Afterward, you can press ~ in-game to bring up the console. Press F1 to access a command window. F2 opens some kind of Editor window.
The No HUD command hides the HUD. Slow 4 which can be used speed through unskippable cutscenes and explore maps more quickly. More exploration commands:
loadsmap MAPNAME - Jump to a given map
walk - Disable Flight and No Clipping Mode
Gameplay modifiers, useful for dealing with enemies:
supersquad - Invincible squad
invisible X - Change X to 1 or 0 to toggle it ON / OFF
blindenemies X - Change X to 1 or 0 to toggle it ON / OFF
deafenemies X - Change X to 1 or 0 to toggle it ON / OFF
killall - Kill Everything
Search the map for the PhysicsVolume that bounds your desired area. Its Sound properties will tell you which ambient sound is played within the volume.
We can use the Editor's Sound Browser to extract individual sounds to WAV. Select the sound you want, and the click File -> Export.
Overlay the ambient tracks you've identified with your noclip/nohud fly footage.
