UT2007 DemoRecording

[Kronos]

Will demos in UT2007 this time record the weapon on the screen other then in 2k4 and 2k3 where they did not. Because it would be really nice to be able to create frag videos or even just watch demo's period with weapon being displayed properly for demo play backs. Id certianly hope this gets added in UT2007.

Yeah the demorec feature of UT2004 seems rushed. Hopefully they've fixed it this time.

[Wowbagger]

They made huge improvements in UT2004 when it came to Demorecording.
Sadly there were some minor issues that ruined it a little.

Hopefully it will be fully working/implemented this time :)

Good point, this is one aspect of ut2k4 that could be improved on in a near infinite amount of ways... though just getting the basics finished and working properly works for me too ;)

lol i myself play with hidden weapon, the weapon model just reducing the fps and the fov, its easier to concentrate on the target without the weapon model stuck in the middle of the screen, just a little tip lol, i have to say i never noticed that UT2K4 demos dosent allow weapon models viewing since its hidden anyway in my cfg lewl. ;)


Its a nice subject you raised and i have something to add - I think the demos are one of the most important things in UT series and it shouldent be underestimated by EPIC in UT2K7 as it was in UT99 and UT2K4.

It would be nice to have an ingame program dedicated for demos only, recording, watching, etc, and it would be even nicer if that program wouldent be neglected as it was in UT2K4.

We players are just asking to be able to watch demos properly, meaning stable, accurate and smooth demos, and it would be nice too if epic would establish a cache site or smth to include all the missing cache files that required for demos, and to connect the demo-program to the site, like it should have been in ut2k4.

I really hope EPIC will stop underestimating the demos subject as u guys did untill now.

[sure]

Problem with demos these days is the amount of crap you need to watch them.
Every single server you join makes you download a bunch of crap that you really don't need.

Vanilla ftw

u just summarized my post with 2 sentences. :D

[BlindRob]

and would a a rewind feature be to much to ask?, nothings worse than waiting to capture something in a 20 min match just to miss it and need to start it all over again

[Madridista]

haha

rypelcam meet blindrob, blindrob meet rypelcam XD

btw u can just press the arrows to fast/slow the demo if rypelcam is too much for you. :P

[Kronos]

Rypelcam doesnt have a rewind feature, rypel already mentioned it was because it had somthing to do with the physics or karma if u will.
However rypel does allow u to type in a time where it will fastforward until it reaches that point and then pause so u can go watch TV.

[RogueLeader]

I would like to see the rypelcam implemented in UT2k7 right away. Rewindfeat would be nice.
And btw, some shots in the latest trailer looked to me somehow like recorded with RCam:D , who knows?^^

[The5thviruz]

More than likely they just used Unreal Ed to do that.

[Kronos]

Yea thats basically Matinee in Unreal ED in the trailer

[Vectorspace]

I'd like it if the camera movement speed while watching the demo was not linked to the playback speed (as it is in 2k4), so you can still move around at full speed even if you pause playback

Jep The problem lies within UT2k4 :)


@ Roughleader have you talked to Rypel ? You can also use Specmode to fly through maps ;) I don´t think Rypel cam is includet in UT2k7.

[RogueLeader]

Thats not what i meant...Basicly i was joking, but anyway the szenes look not like recorded in specmode to me.
