/me initiates Newbie question-Demo recording

boldarbloodpi8 · 9th Dec 2000, 12:57 AM

I have been trying to find out if it is possible to record a demo side server. I tried looking for one, but every time I mentioned demo found lots of aimbot demo's

If it is possible to record a server side demo, does it allow you to look at the action's fo each player later?

Thanks!

It would be nice, but I would put money on there not being a way to record a server side demo. I could be wrong!

The server side demo recording would have to be started by ... you guessed it ... an admin.

The command is: admin demorec <name>

The file will be in the system folder of the server machine afterwards.

Server side demos have a few backdraws:
- The are huge (15-20 MB for a 20 minutes 5-on-5)
- You can't look at the scoreboard with F1.
- When switching to behindview 0, the view is shown wrong (i.e. you can't check for aimbot use).

I doubt that server side demos will eliminate the need for admins.

Not looking to get rid of admin's. We have referee's for our clan match's to call questionable plays. There has been no problems with referee's other than a lot of dedication and work. I am looking to get rid of referee's if possible and put a server side demo in place. This way if another team claims foul play, I can go back and review the map in question. I will have to try it out Cleaner and see if it can help. Thanks!
