Will RS2 have a demo recording function implemented? The lack of this feature in recent games is really disturbing. RO2/RS does have this feature but it's not that good (no firstperson weapon, sluggish) and just serverside.
Recording a demo means recording gameplay without actually recording a video. It saves the information of gameplay and it can be viewed later on in-game. Kinda like a in-game cutscene and you can change the gameplay viewed by disabling hud or using other commands via the console. You could record the gameplay as videofile later on with a command or a extern program like dxtory or fraps. You could also view your gameplay from different perspectives.
Try out the demo tools in RO2/RS for yourself!
- Open Red Orchestra 2 / Rising Storm
- Open the console with F3 or ^
- type in "open *mapname*" (e.g. "open te-apartments")
- Choose a team and a class to spawn
- Open the console again with F3 or ^
- type in "demorec *demoname*" (e.g. "demorec test")
- Now walk around, change weapons, kill yourself with grenades what ever or spawn a bot with "addbots 1"
- open console after a few secs and type in "demostop" to stop demorecording (you've started demorecording with demorec)
- open console and type in "disconnect" or leave the map with the menus
- open console and type in "demoplay *demoname*" (e.g. "demoplay test")
Now the map should loud again and you can spectate yourself from other perspectives and watch yourself killing yourself etc. This type of recording could be possible in a full match with other players! It's like you're specating the whole game again. You can disable the hud now with "showhud" or use the command "slomo" to slow down the game or make it faster. Wouldn't this be cool for youtubers, e-sport, hacker busting etc.?
