Quote:TFPortal.de: In an E-Mail you mentioned a new demo type / format which you are developing. Many players have broken demo files after downloading new updates. Can you tell us a bit about it?
Robin Walker: It's getting close to being releasable in a beta form. The idea is that after you die or finish a round, and it was a round you were particularly happy with (maybe you scored an awesome kill, or saved the entire team with an ubercharge), you can ask the server to send you a demo of it. The server then sends you a demo that it recorded, which has the complete game state instead of just what your client saw, and it's in a format that's robust and won't break as easily when we update the game. In addition, the format has a some side benefits, like supporting full backwards & forwards time scrubbing.
Take
that halo...
thats sick... hopw the file isnt too huge though... wonder how much resources it sucks outta the server too.
can you still record like normal? because source tv demos look like trash for say sniper shots. they dont look accurate at all

Id be more concerned about excess load on the server creating and sending these demos to players

Well it's not TF2 so take -that- Halo.
Also fucking sweet, I wonder if it can record voices or if that'd get too excessive.

No it's not. Halo is recorded client-side,
and there's no forward and backwards time scrubbing. I hope there's an option to disable the feature since as far as I know even STV causes server framerates to drop. Still an amazing feature for match servers though

No it's not. Halo is recorded client-side,
and there's no backwards time scrubbing. That's a pretty big deal since most developers find the backwards bit to be the hard part (most don't bother with it). That said, I hope there's an option to disable the feature since as far as I know even STV causes server framerates to drop. Still an amazing feature for match servers though

I'm actually not sure what time scrubbing is. I know it has this: "The server then sends you a demo that it recorded, which has the complete game state instead of just what your client saw". Which is what I was referring to being exactly like Halo.
