Look here http://static.soldat.pl/man/manual-en.html#KOMENDY

scroll down to the cli params section.

That's it.

When it comes to making a movie then you can get so angry. I was planning to make a movie but I failed because it was so difficult to get those right moments from the demo. Finally I gave up and deleted everything I managed to produce.

yeah, instead you need to use traps, or something similar to record the game while you're actually playing, which may slow you down / piss off BE / and potentially waste disk space. And even if you manage to record yor demo, the only way to convert the sdm file to video is to have soldat extract individual frame to a BMP image which takes forever and uses a f**kton of disk space and leaves you with no audio.

IMHO: the demo functionality is the only major part of soldat that needs to be completely reworked.

If you are recording while playing then yeah.. You can see where your shots are going and it's much easier to follow barrett shots. BUT it has also a negative side. - Fickloads of shit on your screen ( Death log/ You killed/ Interface, etc... )

Yes, sorry if I was unclear, but I'm talking about Enesce adding more parameters. I know you can't just improve the demo player without open the possebility for it in soldat.
It would require some work, but as you said the demo player needs a lift. What I don't know is what parameters can be added without screwing up soldat.
Am I still roing a boat here or do we understand eachother?

Sooner or later I'm going to rewrite and update the soldat manual, and when I do I'll describe how to use the params in a more obvious way.

The manual doesn't even hold info about the current version :p

yeah, which is why I'm going to be updating it soon, since apparently none of the other people who have access to it has time.

Will you include the bugs that Soldat currently has?? I don't know if you should add them into the game, but it would be nice to inform people.

It'll just be how it is now, except with the updated list and description of features, changelog, and links to the bugtracker/forums/etc. I'm not going to mention the huge list of bugs in the manual, since that'll almost definitely turn away newcomers, which is definitely not my intention

[scarface09]

Lol, but they might turn away when they see the major bugs like deathmatch name bug.

At the very bottom of the manual, where there are links to the forums/homepage/etc, that's where I'd stick the link to the bugtracker. And to even view the list of bugs, you need to make an account there and login. And most people wouldn't want to be bothered with that anyway.

Have you updated the Soldat Manual yet?
