Server Recordings

For things that have to do with those crazy test servers... and yeah. By request of z-man, and, of course, you gotta obey...

Server Recordings

Post by madmax »

Hello.

I just had some amazing fight, i mean, really really really really nice fight in Bugfarm Fortress with PsYkO. Is there any way to get a recording of that? Someone there was saying that recordings can't be watched, and i don't actually know what "server recordings" really refer to, but, it's worth a try :P

Having some hope on a chance of getting that here's the time:

Server recordings can't be played back in a client, so you won't get any 3D output. The only thing z-man can do is create debug plots (those images you sometimes see in the BUG cry thread), at least as far as i know.

Oh, and I think z-man thrashes the recordings unless there was a BUG cry since they are huge files.

If you want to get nice graphical ones use the recording feature of your client. On windows there's a start menu entry for that, on linux you just add --record somefile.aarec.txt (and --playback someile.aarec.txt to play it back).

Yeah, server side recordings can't be watched properly right now. That can change in the future, it's annoying me as well :) But certainly, since Bugfarm runs current development code and small code changes break recordings easily, the recordings done there almost never play back with regular releases.
