Wow that's pretty cool, it'd be great if you could make some type of patch to the engine, although I appreciate your explanation either way. This is pretty nice!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

These are called "Multi-View Demos" and (IIRC) OSP mod was the first to<br>do them. (CPMA and Ultra Freeze Tag (mine) did it, along with probably a<br>few more.) It consists of three parts:<br><br>1) Send *every* entity to the player taking the MVD, not just those in
<br>the PVS (potentially visible set)<br>2) Mark the demo as an MVD by setting a configstring<br>3) Enable the cgame keycatcher when playing demos back if playing an<br>MVD, interpret keystrokes<br><br>This can be as easily done in a mod as in the engine. If the engine did
<br>it, it would do basically the same thing. One good argument for doing it<br>in a mod is that the mod can better control who is allowed to make an<br>MVD. Recording an MVD is a great way to maximize the effectiveness of a
