Ok Frogger, I had an idea it was not gonna be easy to kill the DemoSpectator.
So you see him when a human joins the server - any human I take it.
How else can you see him ?
Also do you need to be an Admin or can everyone see him when any other human joins ?

i see in webadmin
i don't see on my servertrac (but i don't track specs)
any human joining shows message
any player sees message (admin or otherwise)

mmm ok, to kill this I see I need to make a standolone class for this bugger and remove his existance which is not worth all the code.

likely not...i don't know of anyone who demorecs in secret. In fact on my server I advertise that I run fulltime demorec...the reasons are two-fold:

1. Deters cheaters
2. Players will often ask me for a match from a day or two ago when they did something cool.

Such a pitty, but due my shifts not time whatsoever.

But one question though ... We are running demorec as server mutator, so it is running all the time ..

Also, I am running the mutator ownage (I explain in a minute). In the ini of this mutator you can setup a clan-tag, like in our case ]-=UTW=-[

Now, when a player joins with this clan tag in the name, it says "ownage" (can be disabled) and it displays not just the small "Blabla joined the game" but also in big blue letter above the weapon bar. So it is easy to recognize when a clan members joins.

So, my actuall question : Is there a way to make a switch in demorec which does actually the same ? So that the mutator does not have to run all the time, nor has to be switched on manually but is starting automatcily when a player with a specific clan tag is joining ?

Also: Ok, we can create a database with the playernames, but will be a way to name the file as in UTComp ? (Sorry if this question has been answered already)

This is working btw...anyway to write to a separate file?
No not really, the only other option I have is writing to the UT2004.ini file.

Mephisto, that is how DemoRec works.
If there are no players left on the server it stops recording.
The moment a player joins the server it starts up again.
To start making it recognise Clan Insignias is getting involved.
Currently its just a dumb recorder keeping lag to a minimum.
Rather use other mods to do the necessary.
