ive been using the demo future for a while now and it looks kinda good only a few points i want to point out.
- When I want to watch a specific time (action) and i passed it i cant move the demo backwards so i can return to the missed part.
- When im watching a demo and i move my mouse a bit to the left or right, the view of the player is not straight so i have to click 3 (left mouse) times before it moves to the normal position again.
So would it be possible to play demos backwards also? like -50, -100, -219 etc, and lock the mouse when im moving with my cursor to the left and right?
Thanks for your feedback!
1. Unfortunately, I can't make a demo play backwards. However, the new playback features (which aren't released yet) allow you to go to a percentage of the demo by using a slider (e.g. go to 80% of the demo length). There also a feature which allows you to enter the time in minutes where you want to go to (e.g. go to the 20th minute of the demo). Both the percentage jump and the minute jump are saved and shown in a listbox. That way, your favorite demo moments are saved and you can easily access them again. To go backwards, after you missed a moment, you can either use the percentage jump or the minute jump.
2. The mouse locking is certainly a nice feature when spectating a 3rd person player. I'll add this as an option to the playback menu. I'll make it so that your mouse is automatically locked by default when spectating a player in 3rd person. Thanks for the suggestion, added to the list.
I've PM'ed you the download link for the test version, which has all the new playback features. See opening post for all implemented features.
