More a query than a suggestion, but I could follow up with a good idea.

Would it be possible to write some sort of script to trigger +scores and screenshot when the medals are being displayed. The server takes the screenshot and the script uploads it to my database. If this is possible, please let me know and I might have a better suggestion after working out a few kinks. I could use these screens to make a little database of sof2 clan wars and their results being posted automatically.

Of course this is possible. In 1.00, if you are recording, a scoreboard screenshot is taken at the end of the map when the recording is stopped. All that remains is the screenshot being uploaded.

I'm not interested in adding the screenshot system at the moment I don't think. Don't have much time at the moment, plus I don't see it being all that useful.

I'll do it myself thanks.

If you create a nice website where people actually post their screenshots manually (i.e. if your project becomes successful, which I doubt) I will of course reconsider adding it to the mod.

is the crashing ever going to be fixed?

I will find the pointers, make a script to input into database, perhaps use client side through fairplay, and make the site. I'd prefer not to have to wait on somebody else.

Whatever, good luck.

Max, the rpm is nice and fun.
But the crashing how can it be that this is still not fixed.

You can find the reason on the previous page. An additional problem is the lack of a good tester.

rpm is cool, stop whining.

servers are crashing much more frequently now

I need a good tester to solve the crashes. If anyone wants to become a dedicated tester, PM me. Note that you will have to invest lots of time, and play on a modless server for test purposes. I will provide you with a free test server for some time.

max, is it possible with modding to skip forward in a demo to a certain frame/snapshot instantly?

I adjust the timescale to fast forward to a certain frame. That usually takes just a few seconds. I use this:

trap_Cvar_Set ("timescale", va("%i", (int)((jumpToFrame - (curTime - startTime))/100)));

Of course you can optimize that formula to make it faster. To rewind, I reload the demo and then fast foward again.

ok yea i thought that might have been the only way to do it



if you were willing to help with sof2tv i would just need a few things from RPM:

1. a cvar to enable or disable "stream" mode, all it would do is prevent keyboard input from quitting a demo while its playing

2. a console command that takes a demofile name AND frame/snapshot as arguments. this cmd will load the demo and then skip forward to the given frame as fast as possible. eg /stream demo0000 22322


all the rest of it i can do with fp

1. This is already automatically enabled during demo playback. The entire playback menu is also available. I guess timescale adjustment should be locked during streaming, but it should be allowed to fast forward, so that may be difficult.

2. This should be possible already. Simply set the 2k3_demoJumpFrame cvar and then load the demo with "demo <demoname>". Do not use "2k3demo <demoname>" since this will reset 2k3_demoJumpFrame after laoding the demo. The 2k3_demoJumpFrame cvar is a CVAR_INTERNAL|CVAR_ROM, so users can't set it (but code can with trap_Cvar_Set).
