Demo Bot/Client
« on: October 14, 2008, 06:11:59 pm »
A bot/client that records the games. It could just join spectators or some other team (Demo team).

the bot would preferably join the server selected by typing IP, port and password in a .txt file. and not run DirectX but simply record the packets received.

of course this would require a registration key(otherwise max demo time is 3 min?), in other words this would serve as a feature.

What if its a final match of some league and due to time differencies its played when you sleep?
I agree that it isn't a vital feature, but not an useless one.

agreed with homer here, you can watch them later. They will be posted, no one watches a ctfl final match without recording ;)

if it's good code this wouldn't take that long to do. also it could be on gather servers. would make life easier for ban point reporters :). and also an security for keeping demos.

this Demo client would record so you could watch later. although the damaged packets would not be there, as the bot would be placed on the same server as the sctfl server.

those who holds in gather servers would most likely like it if it was to be done. having this one sctfl servers would be nice, with auto adding demos for every match.

and job... it's just to take the demo code and add it in another program.

that is client side, not server side. and apperently you can't see the sweat systems that would be possible if this was added. also it'd be nice if the demo code was released so that we could make players for the sdm files.

I would use it ^^

I think its a good idea :) not the most important thing to get fixed/implemented, but still a good idea.

Maybe as a fan app, this would be good, but otherwise, not really. Someone else could always record it (after all, you're not recording an empty server, so SOMEONE could record it if you couldn't).

most people forgets to record. and having it as auto record on a server, would give players a nice possibility to download the demo somewhere.

allright it may be a good idea. it has to be stoored though.  but I would be glad if I never had to remember to press record.

rather than this, I'd suggest that every server record every game and store them on the server, and allow clients to d'l these through the file port thing. could be done automatically at the end of every game.

that was pretty much what I wanted to get out of this.
