Where do I get the debug recorder?

[wap]

Hey, I'd like to watch some .aarec recordings and I need the debug recorder program for that. It didn't come with the download of the normal game, so I tried to download it separately, but to no avail, they all don't work.

I'm on a macbook with OS X Mavericks, anyone know where I can get it?

Thanks


Edit: lol wrong section, please move to support

Comes with the game.
Just search your computer for "Armagetron Advanced Record".

[wap]

As I said, it did not. At least I think it didn't; can't find it anywhere.

It definitely does, but I couldn't even begin to tell you where it is because I'm on Windows, and always have been.
Someone will know, just have to wait

There is a link for one dlh made somewhere but I can't remember where, I've uploaded the one I use anyway, not sure I've used it since I changed to Mavericks though...

The one from dlh is here: http://generalconsumption.org/armagetronad/download/

Thanks for your help, but I've already tried that one, with no success.

When I open it it says "Armagetron Advanced Recorder 2 comes from an unknown developer and cannot be opened."

I would assume it's in Mac as well. I'm a Linux user, and not familiar with Mac at all really. Only used it once or twice. So, if it's similar ..

Go to your BIN file and run it with --help. You'll find all the parameters you need.

If that works, it will likely be the same and you can use --record <output_file> and --playback <input_file>.

Did it come with the game for all of you?
I know I didn't download it.
It came with Armagetron Advanced Record, Armagetron Advanced Playback, and Armagetron Advanced Benchmark for me.

In Linux, you use a parameter with the same BIN file. It's probably the same for Mac.

You've lost me here, Light. No idea what you're saying

Yeah I remember this was the case when I still used Windows, but I'm not sure of it now

Open your terminal / console / command prompt whatever you wanna call it. cd to the directory of the executable file, and execute it with the --help parameter.

Here's an example for me in Linux. Though, your BIN file will not be in the same location by default.

Code: Select all

tom@kubuntu:~$ cd armagetronad/client/bin/
tom@kubuntu:~/armagetronad/client/bin$ ./armagetronad-experimental -h
Usage: armagetronad-experimental [options]
Options:

-h, --help                   : print this message
-v, --version                : print version number

--versioninfo                : print build source information


--record <filename>          : creates a DEBUG recording while running
--playback <filename>        : plays back a DEBUG recording

                               Not recommended, this check is really important.

--prefix                     : prints the prefix the game was installed to

--fastforward <time>         : lets time run very fast until the given time is reached
