A program that plays demos instead of having to run OA to play them. The program would able to run the demo from previous versions of OA as well. It would be very useful.

And should have the same features than q3mme (and more) Tongue
When you read demos from Defrag mod I think it no longer pays attention to the protocol number ...

Yes, it WOULD be very useful... perhaps a program where you can stop, pause, play and select the time you want like youtube-videos...yeah that would be nice  Sad

If creating a separate executable is difficult, maybe it could even be a mod...

We could use openarena itself. It could make a separate q3config for some binds and windowed mode, and put in a modfolder. Then the program starts with +fs_game for loading that config and sends keystrokes for controlling (timescale was a command for demospeed iirc). For rewinding you could relaunch the demo and fastforward till ure a bit back from where you reset it (read: the program does that). And a demo manager ofcourse.
It's quite a nasty solution, but does give some basic functionality to the demos at least.

Just rename the demos files extensions, I don't think there is any protocol number verification (but the format may change, but that's very unlikely since I could read all the demos with q3mme).

com_cameraMode

And use q3mme, that's the best available solution yet.

And you can maybe take a look at Seismovision, maybe you will find some interesting things to do an opensource remake.

But for me, the bothering is not worth the job. Making an independant demo player is not as easy as it sounds.

Thank you a lot, GrosBedo!
With this help I got it: http://oa-cl.ucoz.org/forum/66-329-1

But what do mean with com_cameraMode? I thought I can switch between player perspectives with this cmd but it doesn't work. I tried to set it 1,2,3...and nothing changed on an official multiview demo. Huh  I see only just one perspective.

Sorry Adriano, I assumed most of you had seen my post on OACL forum, thank's for posting the link.

I updated it with some guidelines to play MVD demos with Q3MME, please check out the post again.

About com_cameraMode :

Quote from: GrosBedo
Another thing : you can use /set com_cameraMode 1 in vanilla OA to activate the camera mode, which avoid quitting the game when you press a key, so you can bind some actions to your keys to help you in demo making (Q3MME activates this mode by default, as well as ExcessivePlus).

Thx, now I know how to switch between players.
One ask: Do you know how to  remove that bobbing? I tried cg_bobroll 0, cg_bobpitch 0 and even cg_bobup 0.

You need to set cg_runpitch and cg_runroll to zero also.

Tried, but there are still some little bobbing sometimes. (e.g. when you go up the stairs) Huh

Just a wild guess: you've got g_synchronousClients set to 1? That makes you bob when you climb stairs also.
