UPDATED 10.5.2010
We all know that submitting reports involves a lot of time and effort (especially with copy&pasting). So I've decided to write a new, more advanced, report generator. It's a standalone windows application and requires .NET Framework 2.0 or above.
Sledge22's CAE Report Generator v1.06
Key features
- Check suspect's IGN for typos
- If you don't manually select a date/time, the program will automatically use the values from an added screenshot
- Upload all of your screenshots with a single click to selected image hosting provider.
- Include your YouTube videos in the report by selecting them from a dropdown list
- Your IGN is saved between sessions
- Two modes of submitting reports
- Manual - copy&paste the generated report to the forum post (formatting is preserved)
- Automatic - program submits the report for you (no web browser is used)
- Options for configuring image uploads, your YouTube videos and reports
- Suggestion box for suspect names
- Video editor for encoding, trimming and extracting snapshots from videos
- Upload videos to YouTube
- Report library
- Auto update feature
CAE Report Generator found a new home
From now on it will reside at
http://sledge.combatarms-rank.com
Thanks to all players who offered to host the application.
The latest version can be downloaded here

But please read the
usage guide and the
F.A.Q. first.
What's new in v1.06?
- this is primarily a maintenance release with little changes
- new offense types were added (Powerleveling, Scammer, Account Selling, Bug Abuse) to reflect often used offenses on the forums
- since CA Rank "Wall of Shame" development was shelved some time ago, it's support has been completely removed
- some minor video encoder tweaks were done
- map list is now automatically updated after each patch. The data itself is grabbed from CA NA since they have a map list available in plain text on their web site. The program assumes that a new map may be introduced every first Wednesday of the month.
What's new in v1.05?
- Nexon changed their forum login screen, so it broke the program's login methods. It was fixed so forum submitting and checking for duplicates works.
- video encoder scripts are now created in a temporary folder.
- video encoder now supports HD resolutions 720p and 1080p. Those are available only if the input video's resolution is widescreen and high enough. By default the encoder suggests to encode in 720p or next best available. The video bitrate parameter is automatically set when you select a resolution (video size) to give you best video quality.
- some small bugs were fixed.
What's new in v1.04?
- some users complained about imagesforme and funkimg hosting providers, so they were removed and some new were added (there are five now). Screenshot uploads can now be canceled and have a nifty little progress bar :)
- your settings can now also be reused from previous versions, so you don't have to setup the application from scratch when a new version is released. Also the startup crash that can happen on Vista or Win7 has been patched.
- there were a lot of duplicate reports generated on the forum, so to put a stop to it, I've implemented a new advanced duplicate checker. Now if duplicates are found, you can preview them and choose to reply to a selected topic, post a new topic, or abort the submission.
- there were many GUI tweaks and fixes, and VirtualDub was upgraded to v1.9.8.
- I've decided to implement taskbar progress animation when images/videos are uploading or are being encoded. This way you can be aware of the progress without having to keep the window visible, and helps you keep track for those time consuming operations. This feature is available only on Windows 7. The program now requires .NET Framework v3.5 to be installed.
- v1.04 had a bug when converting images to JPG before upload, it was fixed in v1.041.
What's new in v1.03?
- since many users asked me about merging AVI files, I've decided to implement merging while still maintaining the easy to use interface. Now, by default, when you load an AVI file that is a segment from a FRAPS capture, the program will detect this and automatically load all the segments in the proper order so you can edit them as a single video file. It doesn't matter which segment you load or if you moved or renamed them - it will work as long as all the segments are stored in the same folder. This behavior can be disabled in the Options.
- new map was added and some bugs fixed (thanks to all who reported them)
What's new in v1.02?
- well since MEncoder was not very good at FPS conversion, it was ditched and the new version is using VirtualDub for the encoding. Unfortunately this means that you need to install some VFW codecs. Don't worry I've also created an installer which does this for you. I you don't like installers (some people don't), you can can always download the ZIP archive and manually setup the application.
- dvil (owner of
www.combatarms-rank.com) is currently working on a wall of shame and we managed to combine our efforts, so now the reporter can also submit reports to your personal wall of shame.
It's still in development, but it should be functional soon.
- bernd78 (owner of
www.cagame.de) was kind enough to offer his
www.combatpics.de web site as an image hosting provider. So, now you can upload your screenshots there if you like.
- some bugs were fixed along with better support for Windows XP.
- v1.02 has a bug with trimming videos, it was fixed in v1.021
