ok.. i am able to get the demos fine..but they all come out with no player data.. i can switch from player to player..but there is no HUD, no player names, no projectiles..etc...I have tried without UAdmin, which is the usualy culprit, but still get same results.. Others running the rest of the mods are able to create demos fine...Is there something i need ot set in the server.ini to get this data to be included?

This is typical of what happens when you are recording something that never pushed a serverpackage to the client, or the server was running a serverside only mod / package.

i wonder if waitlimit may cause this...it's serverside only...

i tried with waitlimit removed and got same results..i have a couple others i should try...would ServerActor components have any effect?

 

[ProAsm]

Depends on what the ServerActor component is.
For instance any query tool "MasterServerUpLink" should not matter, but things that effect Players, Weapons etc most certainly will.

do you use modosutils for anything else but the splashlogo? if not, you should have a look at wormbos serverlogo3. and what do you need talkingicon for in 2k4? the talking-animation is back and also a blinking sign just to say something

yes...i have looked at serverlogo...it is fine...i was using modos long before serverlogo came out and have had no issues..so no reason to switch... and talking icon in a must IMO..animations or not..this is the only way to really be able to tell..

 

[frogger187]

fyi...thanks to wormbo for helping me get this sorted. I added UTAN as a serverpackage as well as server actor. All is well now.. thanks for help..

NEW REQUEST...

any way to have this mut running all the time...but have an on/off admin command? I no longer want to record every match, but serverside demos are ideal for documenting cheating and/or for matches...would it be possible to add a bauto=true/false? If set to false..have a 'mutate demorec start'/'stop' command?

 

[ProAsm]

Yes that is possible but was never the object of the exercise as once you add Mutate commands etc, now you need serverpackages etc and it no longer remains serverside and just gets to friggin complicated.
I originally wrote DemoRec for the MicroSoft Corporation but somehow it leaked out to the public so I made a public release but would like to keep it as is

 

[frogger187]

i'm sure it's lots of work..but it think adding this functionality into UT2Vote would be a wonderful addition.....

Ok I'll see if i can add something like this either to DemoRecord or to UT2Vote.
