best demo playback

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 5:32 pm

Which program is best for demo playback? I'm looking for something that enables me to play cpma demo's in different perspectives, mess with timescale etc easily.

Thanks. :lub:

Seismovision. Simply bind keys to whatever you need to mess with.

You have to select your mod first, by right-clicking the demo and select the appropiate mod.

When right clicking I only have the option to add, remove and remove all?

Now i'm gonna be a pain and ask how to re-wind and see from different perspectives.

You can't rewind, only fast forward, which if I remember correctly is...

/timescale (1=deafult, 2=2x speed, 4=4x speed, ect).

As for different perspectives, again if I remember it should be...

/cg_thirdperson
/cg_thirdPersonRange
/cg_thirdPersonAngle

And probably some others I'm forgetting. Somebody correct me where I'm wrong.

S-funny, I woulda thought someone would have come up with rewinding by now.

My (really limited) understanding of the Q3 demo system is that it's mostly the netcode information spooled into a file. And my (again really limited) knowledge of the netcode system is that every now and again the server transmits a full game update to the client... So a rewind system could work by rolling back to the last full keyframe.

Rewinding is only possible (to my knowledge) with the Q3MME mod.
