Scripts:ModifiedDemoRotator

What It Does

• Checks to see if your demo path and demo target path are the same before moving. This is mainly only useful if you don't want your demos moved, but you still want them regularly pruned. (Or if you have your demo path symlinked to your web directory.)
• chmods all demo files 0644 so they can be downloaded through the web or in-game.

Installation

1. Browser to adminutils/demo/ in your bf2 server directory
2. Backup rotate_demo.py. (cp rotate_demo.py rotate_demo.py.bak.)
3. Download rotate_demo.py.patch or copy the below text into a file manually.
4. Patch rotate_demo.py: patch -p0 rotate_demo.py < rotate_demo.py.patch.
