Tbh, each recording has their own downsides/limits. I wouldn't care if they threw it all out, and just gave full frames on a separate (delayed) stream to a client "recording" and that the client then can combine the 2, and all the downsides ( viewpoints of players, huds, smoothing, freedom of movement etc) are been overcome. I love to record, but I want in occasions to smooth and be able too see myself from somewhere, but often the replay is broken once downloaded, or its about a kill that isn't really good visible, so a kill feed is needed etc.
Having a server replay a game, and be able to record it client side again from different perspectives would at least negate some. And who's idea was it to make it with replay to have to put in a name, I want just when I press that button to record it with a date/time. Not another delay, for often when you do want to record a replay, you have to be quick, or once re-spawned you cannot take that record anymore.... for one has to type a letter FIRST. Missed a good chance on that. Or wanted to record some on the background that happens while you die... never can finish that up (not even with a normal demo). And my most dear one, P-REC record tool, has been gone, after also removing the "record all games" option. /rant. >________________________________ > From: Giovanni Harting <[email protected]> >To: Mart-Jan Reeuwijk <[email protected]>; Half-Life dedicated Linux server >mailing list <[email protected]> >Sent: Wednesday, 29 August 2012, 18:01 >Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Hosting STV demos as a game > > >This would be a very nice feature. > > >At the moment we use voice to coordinate on witch tick we start, and the 3, 2, >1, go.
