Wulf 21 you are my hero right now. I am really enjoying reading your informative posts.
Even a client first person demo would be exceptionally cool as a first step. In the case of organised matches, a few people could record their demos and give them to me. I could then FRAPs their demos, add their perspectives to my editing timeline, and splice them in during good action.
Having a demo of the commander's perspective during the game would be outstanding.
I could type on forever, I am so excited by Wulf 21's work. I will shutup before I embarass myself.

Hi wulf,
Sounds like interesting work so far.
A reminder that server ops (where these matches are played) would most likely of course install your mod so server side demos could be recorded, if thats easier to do?
There are "record", "stop", and "play" <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Console_Commands#Debug_Commands" target="_blank">console commands</a>. Record needs to be used before connecting to a server. It seems to play back whatever your view was exactly, no switching to freefloating spectator and seeing what else was going on in the map. Probably not much of a problem if you're spectating already, though if you missed a big event somewhere, you won't be able to go back and view it.
At least, as far as I know. I haven't really played with it much.

And after skimming over more of the posts (I skipped a good chunk when I saw the dates), AFAIK there isn't the all-seeing spectator that was talked about. Anyone else know if something like that has been done yet?

Any news/progress on the replay system?
I'd be willing contribute to the code in any way I can. I really think this will be a huge boost to the NS2 competitive community.
