how to remove score tab? i have found that tab key has 73 code but i couldn't find the right option in the recording

Remove the line that reads

Code: Select all

CONFIG LKEYBOARD    9   PLAYER_BIND SCORE   0

from the recording. We use... some other keycode scheme than you used to look up 73

jeeez
please remember i am an idiot...

there i am
reviewing the ladle-10 recording of the final
and i can't alter the camera
zoom move etc
even though i have configured all the keys in the player...

i used to be able to do it
so i tried replaying the recording through 0.2.8
and it doesn't even play...

i suppose i must have forgotten how to do it...
or has something changed somewhere along the line?

edit:
i checked the camera input settings while replaying
and they are my old settings
the ones i had while recording the game...
so does that mean
i must have the same keyboard configuration during recording as i have during playback?

Rules haven't changed:you need to use the same version (and sometimes, the same processor and OS) to play back a recording, and by default, all keypresses while the playback is running break the recording. You get away with camera control keys when no ingame menu or chat input is active, though.

Edit: the camera control keys you can use are the ones that were configured while the recording was made.

dang dang dang

i have a wireless keyboard which my old configuration is set for
so when i playback on my laptop
i can't change camera-angles et al

what a bore...
oh well
i suppose i have to wait till the next one

the good thing is
if i don't get to the final
at least i get to record it

We could use a server log, as a basis for an independent replay server.

an http address associated with a certain game(server) etc...

Where u can get lots of replays (flash?) in boxes similar to next-gen security installations...then extract the replays you wish to save/enhance.

Could be relevant for tournaments and so on.

So all we'd need is a good log file which could be used to reconstruct all views on the replay server. Server rendering into video....
Flash client on ad-hoc http address...

well, enough said.

Im in.

is that offer for real?

hi all
i've been out the loop
and plan to start playing again
though my ping seems to be over 300...

have we made progress wrt recording
editing
and transcoding to video...?

except this...

Code: Select all

--videoout                   : writes a raw video stream of frames to stdout

there's nothing real new :p

tried searching for this...

i am trying to playback the finals of ladle-13
recorded by zman with 0.2.8.2.1

i don't have that version...
any other version do...?

and what was said about the keys to manipulate the camera...?
i had thought that the keys were set to the recorder's settings
whereas someone said that the camera keys are relative to the viewer now..

please direct me to the right posts
sorry for the bother

The keys for the camera are the keys the user making the recording had defined; in my case, they're the defaults, which are the numblock keys.[/quote]

pity about the numlock keys
since i have a reduced keyboard...

i suppose you would have changed it by now
if it were possible to set it to the keys of the playback...

You can always hack the recording. It's just a text file, and in the beginning, the configuration files are included almost verbatim (every line just gets a prefix). It should not be too much trouble to find the spot where the keyboard configuration is defined and to override it.

pardon this fool question
please
can this hack be implemented in the next version by default?

Very unlikely. In almost all cases, any manipulation like this would break the playback. This is not a direction this type of recording can safely be developed into.
