Improve demo/demoplayer

[homerofgods]

Well I have some ideas about demo/demoplayer, but it's more of a discussion for now. -.-

- Being able to turn on/of show player indicator in demo, It would make is more easy to see what person you are on the soldat movies. You could replace the indicator with your name, and it would be cool if you were able to get player indicators/names on the other players aswell somehow.

- Being able to turn on/of show the ''doubblekill, multikill'' text and so on.

- Being able to zoom in and out in the demo.

- Being able to turn on/of.. (damn I forgot what to say here) need more ideas

Discuss and add more ideas. what do you think, wouldn't it be cool to update the movie-making community a bit?

movie making community can just zoom in/out using editing programs

turning on/off text is possible already


but for gods sake, Invisible players in realistic demos, please

No, not multikill and so on, it doesn't show.

Maybe fix up demos first, dont they crash with to much action? I know they do in hexer.

I would like it so that when you change the speed, those black boxes for bullet-time arent always there..

I've moved this to the proper forum. On topic: have it optionally record directly to mpg/wma/mkv as that'd make things a lot easier.

I want the demos to be less laggy, it is way worse for me watching the demo then when I am actually playing, which is stupid as somewhere I heard the Demos are a dump of the information received from the server. Theoretically it should look exactly the same as when you were recording the damned things.

Ment as a discussion from my side until I do a propper suggestion when I get some info. record directly to mpg/wma/mkv would make a big file, and not all computers would be able to record smoothly, it would be better to have a converter from demo to mpg/wma/mkv, is there such a thing?

no, and such a thing is impossible as the only program that can actually read demo files is soldat, since they're just netcode
dumps.
