[CoD2 & CoD4] 9999ss fix, lagicon fix & CoD2 r_fullscreen fix + merge multiple frames

Upon request, I've uploaded the following modifications to enhance moviemaking:


CoD2:
CoD2MP_s-Kamikaz_lagiconfix.exe: Removes the "connection interrupted" icon & text, even when using timescale 0.001. Place in your CoD2 folder and disable PB client&serverside when using it.

gfx_d3d_mp_x86_s-Kamikaz_9999ssfix_rfullscreenfix.dll: Removes the 9999 screenshot limit and enables to use r_fullscreen 0 (windowed mode for faster capturing on some pc's). Be sure to rename to gfx_d3d_mp_x86_s.dll and backup the original gfx_d3d_mp_x86_s.dll.

*Note: the dll forces cod2 to work in windowed mode, even when the console mentions r_fullscreen is set to 1.


CoD4:
iw3mp_CoD4_Kamikaz_9999ssfix_lagiconfix.exe: Removes the 9999 screenshot limit and removes the "connection interrupted" icon & text, even when using timescale 0.001. Place in your CoD4 folder and disable PB client&serverside when using it.


These files are for moviemaking only! Playing with these files on a PB server will result in a ban.

*edit:
Forgot to post: when using these fixes, you can finally combine it with It's a Wrap, a tool that works for cod2, cod4, etc.. to merge multiple frames into one.

Most of the time you see movies captured at 200fps, then resampled to 30 fps, which creates the oh so cool motionblur. But you need to resample after capturing, which takes up a lot of time, especially for your PC to write every screenshot.

With It's a Wrap, you can now merge all those screens without first capturing all and then use vegas or adobe. F.ex I'm working on a 31.25fps movie, and I want to capture at 1000fps. What happens? You start it's a wrap with the config you made before, then in cod2/4 use cl_avidemo 1000, and voila! It combines 32 frames into 1 (1000/31.25), which results in 10 to 20 times faster capturing, LESS diskspace + you can even CHOOSE where you want the screenshots to be saved!


You can find more info on It's a Wrap on the official website ;)

& more detailed info on how to use the utility:

And for a final treat, this is the config I used with it's a wrap for a 31.25fps clip (1000/32):

;bgcol=0.0,1.0,0.0
merge=32
skip=0
weights=1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10
basepath=F:\Machinima_projects\CoD4\Screenshots
crop_top=0
crop_bottom=0
patch_et=0

*edit 2:
Although the movie wasn't finished, it's still a good example of a 1000fps movie captured with "it's a wrap" combined with the 9999ssfix & lagiconfix:

rapidshare.com/files/200502641/a.k.a._The_Stick_-_fragpart.rar (195 MB, just music and frags, no fx, no ingame sound, etc.. Password: movies1 )

rapidshare.com/files/305681423/slowmo_strike.rar (14 MB, the effect of the exploding car which would've been imported into the movie)
