Demo recording

Quoting: Kornel Kisielewiczctually it's already implemented... the only problem is that the recorder records a frame each time doomrl calls refresh -- what makes targeting and explosions look stupid :-P.

So, its already in it?

Yes I realise I am practicing thread necromancy. So sue me.

Actually it's already implemented... the only problem is that the recorder records a frame each time doomrl calls refresh -- what makes targeting and explosions look stupid :-P.

So, What you could do is the following:

Have a delay counter (working off Miliseconds) that mesures the time between each action. It will then translate that into a delay when you are watching playback.

As for the explosions, Record which type of explosion it was and have a script that duplicates the last x ammount of frames (where x is the ammount taken to have an explosion recorded as it is to the user) and edit in the explosion.

AFAIK there are only 6 different explosions (Imp, Cacodemon, Rockets, Baron, Knight and barrels) so coding that script shouldent be too hard.

And targeting? Call a mode where it records keystrokes relating to targeting and goes from there.

Kornel, If you can reply to this then thanks.

Or have a look of that ascii game movie player as ask the creator how he did it. (On the forum he is called Toady One, in real life Tarn Adams. I think)

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.htm (for the movie player)
http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=3 (the forum)

He takes every single frame (like 20 seconds) but compresses the pictures. a 30mn movi weights 5-10Mo If I am right. That's almost OK.

Maybe between ASCII game programmers he would be pleased to give you its source (except he is using curse.dll for drawing. Maybe it would make it incompatible...)

BTW, that is actually a tribute to Tarn Adams and his Slaves to Armok project :-P

Ok. I see that you know him allready.

I don't need the code, for I have the code for ASCII record/replay a long time now -- it's an inherent part of Valkyrie itself ^_^. As for the solution to my problem I will probably write all refreshes down. Files may be big, but with gz  compression not THAT big.
