Grinbot VCR controls for CoD demos 0.9beta

http://www.gphq.com/grinreaper/democfg/vcr.cfg

check em out.

all you need to do is put

+set sv_cheats 1 +exec vcr.cfg

in your shortcut, the rest is all handled in the config (optionally, you could call the vcr.cfg config from the console)

i haven't put a help menu up... yet, but here's the crude version:

all controls are on the keypad


kp_slash = Pause
kp_star = Normal Speed
kp_minus = Slow Down
kp_plus = Speed Up
kp_enter = Scores tab

kp_leftarrow = 3rd person Angle Counter-Clockwise (by 10 degrees)
kp_rightarrow = 3rd person Angle Clockwise (by 10 degrees)
kp_uparrow = 3rd person Zoom In (or forwards)
kp_downarrow = 3rd person Zoom Out (or behind)

bind kp_pgup = Toggle Fog
bind kp_home = Shownormals (inconsistant wall-hacking)
bind kp_pgdn = Toggle FX (Smoke)
bind kp_5 = Toggle Third Person
bind kp_end = Toggle Wireframe (better wallhacking)



if you have any suggestions to add to this, please feel free to do so, that's why this isn't a 1.0 release just yet (that and i need to do the on-screen help). if you know of any tricks i've left out that you'd want in, please let me know. if you know the command, even better.

also, when i have more time, i'll change the message "Toggle FX" to "FX on" or "FX off" ... just take more lines to do that, so it'll have to wait for the main release.

please leave feedback.

and sv_cheats can STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME, it won't interfere w/ you playing in matches or anything. also, i kept all the binds to the keypad as i don't believe anyone uses them, so it shouldn't mess up any binds.


*edit*

if ANYONE knows how to emulate some type of "no clipping" in a server (not single player mode) PLEASE let me know, it would VERY MUCH help on the viewing angles

my b-day is march 13th... go me, and post in my b-day thread:

and this will work in CoDUO?

the old version of it did, don't think it wouldn't now.

Grin. I lub you! Will give the movie makers some control over what happends. TY.

Also if you use some keypad binds (Like myself for rcon commands, gamma, maxpackets, and other settings I recommend you make a extra shortcut. Call it demo viewer or something and that way it wont mess up any configs.

You need to get rewind in there somehow. Grin talk to me on msn asap.

big ups to grin (thanks), i take back some of the terrible things i said about you.

upon further review, this kicks major ass grin, you are teh f'ing man. i think the third person toggle is messed up, unless i did something to it tho, it just sets cg_thirdperson to 0 instead of toggling it. any chance of rewinding, or is that not possible given the structure of the demo? again, you kick ass

can't rewind. basically a demo is a "movie script" that you feed to a machine (the game engine) and it feeds it one line at a time. it's not made to go back, and unless/until IW/GMI come up w/ a way to roll back so many lines at a time, it really can't be done. so just remember what time it is. at 20x speed, it doesn't take so long... 20 minutes = 1 minute, just reload the demo and FF to that time.

as far as thirdperson, i might change it a bit.... it actually goes go third person, but my default i had set to a range of 0, and default for 3rd person is 120... i'll be fixing that in the 1.0 release.


and SA, that's why i picked the numpad b/c hardly anyone uses it... but i've already been thinking about how to work around that for ppl who use those. YOU hit ME up on MSN and we'll talk about some stuffs

well be an arrow key user instead of wasd I use the niumber pad extensley for all games.

You might consider the function keys as the only one I use is f12.

i am an arrow key man myself hobbes, but i only use kp_ins (or ZERO)

there's really a limited selection of keys (all the querty keys CANNOT be used when viewing demos, it'll kick you out to the menu). and arrow keys are much more natural for zoom and angle changing, than doing F5/F6, F7/F8 for the angle changes and whatnot. i'm currently looking into an easy way of backing up existing configs... but it's kinda tricky when you really start to think it through w/o them ending up writing over a good config w/ a bad one.

but that's all gonna be looked into.

right click on your coduo icon on your desktop, go to properties and this will give you 3 folders pick the one that says shortcut. where the target line is click so the cursor is at the end of every thing and then add the lines in question.

Hmm...well, as long as its a girl's thong I guess it'll be ok.

THis is pretty tight. Thanks for releasing Grin. There is nothing more entertaining than watching yourself slaughter newbs in slow motion.

It enables you to shoot through textures and walk through walls...

yeah but in order for this to work why do u need it on

Originally posted by: rec frost

b/c the game won't allow you to go third person, and furthermore, do 360 sweeps. also, it won't let you turn off smoke and fog, use a semi-working "wall-hack" called shownormals, and wireframes... all those are "cheat protected" so that you cannot use those in MP servers... less they have sv_cheats 1 enabled. when you view a demo, you host your own "server" which is "cheat enabled" so that you can use these features.

heck, even timescale is cheat protected, so the simple/basic slow-mo and fast forward won't work w/o it on.

the good thing is, since this is a "server" setting for your own machine, it doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL when playing in other MP servers, thus you don't have to worry about getting caught for hacks or whatnot.

ah gotcha thanks for clarification

Grinbaby, Got a problem chief... Don't know if this is the proper place, however, I tried out this nice little thing you got here (love the vids done with it btw) but I put it on a virgin install of the game and tried using it on a demo and nothing worked... Followed directions to the T but to no avail... Really would love to get it working so I can do a little tribute to some old friends of mine... Thanks in advance.

What's the newest version you have out for the grinbot? Is it 0.9 or is there a 1.0 that Smartazz said he used in making the demo. I'm confused.

SA has a non-public release... it's the SA edition (for smartazz) since he does all of those demos.

i'm waiting on a KEY element to come through, but this other guy has been very busy. but it'll basically make it all 200 times easier and better to watch demos and use grinbot. i MIGHT release something sooner, but i've not had much time as of late, myself, to clean up what i have for a public release. i'll see about getting to it ASAP as i see quite a few people wanting it.

Yeah, I'll be waiting.

I used your program and like it a bunch. The only thing is that I now get odd messages at the top of my screen while playing MP games. They appear above the normal chat and message lines. Also the 3rd person thing did not work for me.

Did I do something wrong?

What I have is just a preview of whats to come guys.

nah, that's why it was .9 beta..

just need to open up console and type "/seta developer 0"

it was set to 1 in the grincam to display the messages... this'll be worked on in the upcoming full release so that it's not really an issue. but until then, just set developer to 0 and it'll get rid of em.
