Third party programs won't be able to just "convert" .demo files. .demo files are not videos, instead, they are files, which contain all the information of what happened. In the demo file there is something like "player A moves from location (x,y) to location location(x',y') while pointing the pistol upwards..." etc. I don't think there is a program other than teeworlds, that is able to interpret this data. The main reason for this is that it saves a lot of disk space. High quality videos are always big, and the demo files are quite small in comparison. Another pro for demos is, that third party programs are able to extract much more information from the file than from a video (and much easier). Think about tools, that are able to automatically detect the outcome of recorded games, if they are given the demo file (this would be quite difficult with video, because the image of the endgame screen would have need to be analyzed, which is kind of complicated for software).

If you need to somehow "export" the demo to some video format, your only option is using screencapturing software (e.g. FRAPS). You could also use the n-client, which has a built-in demo-to-video feature (as far as I know, this also is just screencapturing).

To conclude: demo files are the best way to record games, and that's the way it's done in other games, too, e.g. SC2, Dota 2, Counter-Strike. However, in other games they are often called "replays", which may be a more appropriate name.

You have enter the key combination in "Finder". Actually, the first step is only there to make sure you are in your user folder. However, the Library folder might be hidden, so I suggest a different approach: Open Finder and press ⌘⇧G (Alternatively, you can click on "Go To" in the top bar and then click on "Go to folder"). A dialog should open up. You enter

~/Library/Application Support/Teeworlds/maps

Then you press "open". Finder should now show the correct folder, which contains your map.

Ok, so I see that GNU gettext is actually capable of doing this, so we could do this on linux systems. But does this also work on other platfomrs like Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS? GNU gettext is not necessarily available there.

Also would you handle a case where you have several variables in one text string?

//EDIT: It seems this will work on all Unix-type systems, however I don't see how it would work on windows, which is a blocking issue in my opinion. However, maybe we could improve the teeworlds way of doing these things (teeworlds currently uses an own function called Localize, which is responisble for returning the correct translated string). I think it would be possible to add the functionality of using plural forms at least for simple cases.

The best way to learn about the teeworlds code is just reading through it and trying to modify simple things. That's how most of us have started. I don't think it would be very effective if we tried to teach it to you directly. However, feel free to ask specific questions, if you encounter problems or don't understand some things.

Seriously.... Did you read this thread? did you read the documentation? Did you watch the tutorial video? You got to be kidding me...

I agree that some of your points are valid. You have to see though, that we have tons of things to do, and our Time is very limited. Have you ever had a look at the issues list on github...? I think before we can focus on advertising stuff and so on, we first have to make the game itself "perfect". On the other Hand, things like the higher resolution icon and a Windows installer can easily be implemented and should he in my opinion.

I am really sick of this god damn discussion. We do not prevent people from playing mods at all. We just want new players to try vanilla first. We also want the server browser to be organized a little more and we want to separate official stuff from community stuff. Thats all there is to it (no "oh, we hate mods, so lets make sure people dont play them"). I think the new server browser is a good approach to these goals.

It seems some of you still forget what we are actually developing. Sure, teeworlds is an open source game, but does that mean we need to leave all things open for mods? No, it does not, since we are NOT developing a 2d game engine. We are developing only teeworlds, and we want teeworlds to be as much fun as possible and we also want people to play the real teeworlds.

Sure, there are some quality mods out there, but compared to the number of "crap" mods, the chance for a new player to enter a server that hosts a really bad mod, which then makes the player immediately stop playing teeworlds at all is quite high. The new system of how the servers are displayed might change this at least a little.

On the other hand, if you want to play a certain mod, there is still nothing at all that keeps you from doing it. In fact I think with the new way how things are displayed, it might be even easier to find a good server hosting the mod you want to play.

As I mentioned before, if you are not happy how things are going, just do a fork and do the stuff on your own.
