Topic: [IDEA] TeeWorlds demo player

Hello tees.
I've got an idea.  If I want to play demo, I must run TeeWorlds, save demo to config directory>demos and play the demo via TeeWorlds. Can be nice TeeWorlds demo player, we will not must play demos with steps what i have already described but we open the DEMO file as any other (e.g. MP3 or AVI) and the TDP (TW demo player) starts and plays.

I dont want to say the actual demo player is not good, of course. But the only application can be nice, to!

What do you think?

I guess what he wants to say is that currently demos are hard to share.
I think it would be a good idea to be able to edit the demos like videos and convert them to upload them on youtube.

Re: [IDEA] TeeWorlds demo player

It would be cool to be able to play the demos in vlc or mplayer. I don't know if it is possible to add demos support for teeworlds demos in ffmpeg.

Convert video is probably hard, but make a TWPlayer...Why not ?

Re: [IDEA] TeeWorlds demo player

You must use the game because the game does the rendering. A demo file is just a dump of the game state, so teeworlds reads those data and makes the rendering. The most convenient solution would be to add an option to teeworlds to convert a demo file to a widely used video format, but again this could work only for client side demos, and I dont think this will ever happen, since I dont know of any game which has such mechanism. The best u can do is to record ur demo with another video-capture program ( Fraps, etc ).

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

Re: [IDEA] TeeWorlds demo player

Wouldn't it be easier to use some kind of screen video capturing software like Fraps and put these ones on Youtube? Or the automated video capturing used by Xfire?

1. This way people could share their videos with just one link instead of having to collect a file, insert it into Teeworlds and execute the game just to see the video. It sure nice to have this function but it does tend to over complicate. Instead of hosting a file online which we need to collect and insert manually, there are already services on the internet which allow you to host the file as a viewable video.

2. This would also be a very good marketing tool, because people that don't play would happen to find it on Youtube and get interested in Teeworlds. The more members we would get, the more video content it would produce, which would then again produce more marketing. It's a powerful circle, ensuring a growing player base for Teeworlds.

3. It would allow people to keep Teeworlds nice and small by reducing the amount of custom content that sticks to our Teeworlds folder. Sure it wouldn't be much in terms of file size and can easily be deleted, but why not save the disk space while still having access to the content by outsourcing it to an external service?

Of course capturing and uploading recordings is still a time consuming job in it's current form, but if it could for example be implemented into the client it would solve this problem. It certainly has a potential to become more efficient then demo recording can ever be.

Re: [IDEA] TeeWorlds demo player

Take a demo within teeworlds with the demo capture feature. Then play this demo in teeworlds while recording it with fraps or whatever.

Is there some kind of competition going around o.O ???
