Where's Lou Cypher?

He said at some point a long time ago that he was working on some way to fly around in observer while watching a demo. What ever came of that? Last I heard (years ago) he was pretty close to finishing it.


aka PuppyWear

that would be freakin awesome

I'm pretty sure T2 only records player information if they're visible to the person recording the demo. This script might give you some freedom of movement, but it wouldn't be the same thing as watching a server-side demo.

Lou is busy getting banned from Tribalwar for being a fucking freak who keeps real life information on forum members/tribes players.

He probably has your full name, date of birth, hometown, current living address, every phone number associated with you, and a list of your current and previous girlfriend(s).

GOOD LUCK FUCKER!

I remember asking him about that at the time and I think he said that once a player comes within your scope you keep receiving info about them no matter where they go on the map.

Right. Pretty much if you're outside and they're withing range of any object with a sensor detection radius the server sends updates on their location, even if they're cloaked.

The problem I encountered and never had the motivation to fix was overriding the movement commands each packet that placed the camera in the location it expected it to be. The problem isn't as simple to overcome as T1's DemoCam. T2 doesn't respond to user input for movement or view changes when a demo is playing so everything would have to be interpreted in some other manner.

Freezing a demo camera to the same spot during playback was already possible, as was/is watching the demo from another player's perspective. Free flight observer mode just isn't something I care to work on anymore with T2 in its current state.

I'm banned for sending information that AkumA posted publicly to TribalWar, to a MySpace girl he made a thread (and linked her profile) to make fun of.

Which one of AkumA's butt buddies are you on TribalWar? Wraithed? Glare? A new cock gobbler?

Have you created a script to do this? Being able to watch a demo and see a teammate's POV would be awesome.

Did you use all scripts, or did you actually have to make a hacked/alternate EXE file to get stuff done?


aka PuppyWear

It's a hack that has a support script for some ingame functions. Basically a sandbox for all the stuff I made after DT came out. ADT (hack) + LUMP (script).

please release something that gives the ability to watch from another person's perspective :>

That would definitely be useful in movies.

Oh, and a script that can actually change FOV while using borjsut.
