Topic: Record Demos

This is one of the most important features Teeworlds need...
I would love to watch some demos after the matches to analize my mistakes or to make a fragmovie of them, but it annoys me to start a programm like Fraps to record my demo, cause its not laggfree to play with this Prog and the size of the demo is way too big.

Has anybody started it at all? Because somebody could make it on their own if they wanted it really badly.

Re: Record Demos

Demo recording is planned for 0.6.0. Please don't complain, we got some other features with higher priority for 0.5.0.

I'm not complaining, and I just checking if anybody has started it. Because if not, that means somebody else could implement it, and it could be merged in the next release.

Of course someone could have a try with it. There's already some (dead) code which "records" game by saving *.tga images at a specific frame-rate. If you like to, you could do some hacking and get it working (and send a patch).

You would probably have to stick with fraps or taksi for now.

Okay. Saving .tga's at a specific frame rate should also be a feature, but only to export a demo as a video.

I'm not good enough at programming to make my own demo recorder, but I assume it would involve dumping all the required memory to a file for every time of the game.

Re: Record Demos

I have seen one nice third party tool for recording for another game. It redirects the client/server stream through it, when replaying it just replays to the client what it has seen before. That recording tool needs to have a basic understanding of the protocol altough.

Re: Record Demos

Sounds nice, if it's open source it shouldn't be hard to make it understand teeworlds, right?
