Demo Playback - Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Official Community Site

Joe999 · 08-04-2007, 12:38 PM

in case you haven't noticed, demo playback works in this build

i've created a quick & dirty demo playback control config which will be extended in time, but here's a start in case someone wants to use it as well:

Code:

writeconfig backupconfig
unbindall

bind "w" "_forward" "" "default"
bind "s" "_back" "" "default"
bind "a" "_moveleft" "" "default"
bind "d" "_moveright" "" "default"
bind "SPACE" "_moveup" "" "default"

bind "SHIFT" "_sprint" "" "default"
bind "CTRL" "_speed" "" "default"

bind "F7" "screenshot 4096 2304 64" "" "default"
bind "F8" "screenshot 2048 1152 64" "" "default"
bind "F11" "screenshot" "" "default"


bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale 0.1" "" "default"
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale -0.1" "" "default"
bind "KP_UPARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale 1.0" "" "default"
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale -1.0" "" "default"
bind "KP_5" "pausenetdemo" "" "default"
bind "KP_5" "demo_scale 1.0" "CTRL" "default"

check out the pausenetdemo command, it's very awesome

doson · 08-04-2007, 05:57 PM

bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale 0.1" "" "default"
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale -0.1" "" "default"
bind "KP_UPARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale 1.0" "" "default"
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale -1.0" "" "default"

what are this commands for ? Fastforward and reverse ?

Joe999 · 08-04-2007, 06:43 PM

those are for chaning the speed of demo playback. 1.0 is normal speed, rest is faster or slower

doson · 08-04-2007, 08:27 PM

ok thanks, pausenetdemo is awesome lol

Joe999 · 08-04-2007, 08:59 PM

updated the config:

Code:

writeconfig backupconfig
unbindall

bind "w" "_forward" "" "default"
bind "s" "_back" "" "default"
bind "a" "_moveleft" "" "default"
bind "d" "_moveright" "" "default"
bind "SPACE" "_moveup" "" "default"

bind "SHIFT" "_sprint" "" "default"
bind "CTRL" "_speed" "" "default"

bind "F7" "screenshot 4096 2304 64" "" "default"
bind "F8" "screenshot 2048 1152 64" "" "default"
bind "F11" "screenshot" "" "default"

bind "MOUSE2" "pausenetdemo" "" "default"

bind "KP_5" "demo_scale 1.0" "" "default"
bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale 0.1" "" "default"
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale -0.1" "" "default"
bind "KP_UPARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale 1.0" "" "default"
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "cvaradd demo_scale -1.0" "" "default"

bind "KP_ENTER" "toggle demo_noclip 1 0" "" "default"
bind "KP_INS" "toggle g_showhud 0 1" "" "default"

pausenetdemo is better on mouse2 where it's quickly accessible. changes are in italic

dommafia · 08-05-2007, 05:17 AM

nice config

Great work Joe!

hannes · 08-06-2007, 09:45 AM

/me says thx a lot!

101uk · 08-07-2007, 06:32 PM

sorry im a noob to this coding business, how do i implement these features?

[]v[] · 08-08-2007, 06:14 PM

When pause and free fly while in the third-eye-camera, you then fly around inside the third-eye-camera.
I notice that these demos record everything and not just within sight, so a great way to see what was happening on the rest of the map.
I also tried some of Darkangels_ETpro_MovieMaking scripts which slightly changed seem to work ok'ish. Like the matrix cameras.

RR2DO2 · 08-08-2007, 08:05 PM

Client demos record everything that the client gets. Keep in mind that due to the AOR, data further away from the recording client in a network demo is less accurate. (Server demos don't have this problem, they just record the entire game.)

Decon89 · 08-09-2007, 03:53 PM

So how do you make these binds work ? Do you have to change your bind config everytime you need to watch one :/?

tsp · 08-10-2007, 06:47 PM

Joe999
Excellent script, but why you don't want to include demo markers? it's very nice feature imo. something like this:

Code:

// ====================================================================================
// demo cut markers
// set markers and then use "cutNetdemo <input_demoname> <output_demoname>"
// ====================================================================================
bind "LEFTARROW" "placeDemoCutEndMarker; addchatline '^1END ^7marker is set'" "" "default"
bind "RIGHTARROW" "placeDemoCutStartMarker; addchatline '^2START ^7marker is set'" "" "default"

I've modified your script slightly to add FOV changer at mouse wheel during pause, it looks very useful for screenshots: http://community.enemyterritory.com/...ead.php?t=6620

Code:

// ====================================================================================
// pause current playback and switch mouse wheel to the "FOV changer"
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// mouse wheel (in "pause" mode):
//   up/down: add +/- ~10% to FOV
//   click: set original FOV value
// ====================================================================================
set writeFOVInfo "echo $g_FOV"
set gFOV_backup $g_FOV
set RestoreDefaultFOV "set g_FOV $gFOV_backup; vstr writeFOVInfo"
set ZOOM_UP "set gFOV_float $g_FOV; cvarMultiply gFOV_float 1.1; cvaradd gFOV_float 0.5; set g_FOV $gFOV_float; set gFOV_float $g_FOV; vstr writeFOVInfo"
set ZOOM_DWN "set gFOV_float $g_FOV; cvarMultiply gFOV_float 0.91; cvaradd gFOV_float 0.5; set g_FOV $gFOV_float; set gFOV_float $g_FOV; vstr writeFOVInfo"

set DEMO_PAUSE "pausenetdemo; bind MWHEELUP $ZOOM_UP; bind MWHEELDOWN $ZOOM_DWN; bind MOUSE3 $RestoreDefaultFOV; bind MOUSE2 $DEMO_UNPAUSE"
set DEMO_UNPAUSE "pausenetdemo; bind MWHEELUP $DEMOSCALE_UP; bind MWHEELDOWN $DEMOSCALE_DWN; bind MOUSE3 $SetNormalSpeed; bind MOUSE2 $DEMO_PAUSE"

bind MOUSE2 $DEMO_PAUSE

and microscopic changes in original binds:

Code:

set  SetNormalSpeed "demo_scale 1.0; vstr writeDemoScaleInfo"
bind MOUSE3 $SetNormalSpeed

set DEMOSCALE_UP "cvaradd demo_scale 1.0; vstr writeDemoScaleInfo"
set DEMOSCALE_DWN "cvaradd demo_scale -1.0'; vstr writeDemoScaleInfo"
bind MWHEELUP $DEMOSCALE_UP
bind MWHEELDOWN $DEMOSCALE_DWN

here is some simple math with gFOV_float to reduce round error and prevent zero value for g_FOV that causes game crash.

btw, maybe it's better to save original crouch bind (bind "c" "_movedown" "" "default") to keep a possibility of vertical freecam moving

i tried it and the feature didn't work on my machine, i. e. seemed to be bugged, so i didn't think it's relevant currently. does this work on your machine?

nice additions btw

yes, it works perfectly for me

HeiNRicH · 08-12-2007, 02:18 AM

Ok, so you use -1(or any negative value) to rewind? I tryed that and it locked up the game.

Ragenowski · 08-12-2007, 11:10 PM

Joe999......THANKS

Nice work. My gaming background doesn't include much scripting, using autoexecs and things like that, but once I read, re-read, and re-re-read your script until I understood it I was able to figure out which of these I wanted to use and which ones I didn't want to use. I then was able to make a quick auto-exec (Thanks to Iffy's ETQW4newbies for that

) with my changes and it's working like a charm. I did have to go in and change net demo pause from my right mouse button though because it didn't allow me to use alt fire ingame, but that was probably my fault.

Thanks again, to both of you! I've made several kewl demos and eventually hope to get some sweet screens from them once I'm able to stop playing.....the game should be named "Enemy Territory: Crack Wars" btw.

Joe999 · 08-13-2007, 08:49 PM

* placeDemoCutStartMarker: places start marker for demo cutting
* placeDemoCutEndMarker: places end marker for demo cutting
* cutnetdemo: cuts a network demo if valid markers are set, usage: cutnetdemo <demo name> <cut output name>

Ragenowski · 08-13-2007, 09:31 PM

Here's a noobish question for someone to answer......uhm, please. If you don't mind

Is there any way that I could rewind the demo? Or is there no command available for that? Kinda like with BF2 demos not being able to be rewound...

I only ask because there's so much going on at times that it'd be a lot easier if I could rewind parts of the video and look at them from a different place. It'd save me a lot of time rather than having to start it over.

Ifurita · 08-13-2007, 09:36 PM

Code:

// control playback speed with mouse wheel
bind "MOUSE3" "demo_scale 1.0; vstr writeDemoScaleInfo" "" "default"

have you tried changing demo scale to a negative value??

By that I assume you mean changing the binding on KP_5 to a negative value? (obviously I'd bind it to another key so as not to lose the ability to go back to my default playback speed, I just used kp_5 to show where I was talking about.)

So lemme type this out to see if I understand correctly...

bind "KP_9" "demo_scale -1.0; vstr writeDemoScaleInfo" "" "default"

Would that work? Can I also make the demo scale something like " -0.5" for half speed reverse playback? Sorry for the noobness of the question, I haven't done this a lot.

If you simply mean the -1 and -0.1 binds, then yes I've got those bound but I haven't been able to reverse playback using those...maybe I'm just not hitting -1 enough.

Oh, and BTW thanks for all the help you've been. Both to myself and the rest of the community, I appreciate it.

you can't set negative value for this cvar, so you can't rewind the demo.
