A3RA - Recording Assistant V2.3

Info can be found at http://www.a3-gaming.co.uk/downloads...2.3/Readme.txt

Features

- Designed with recording of cheaters in mind
- Enables a menu from which you can select who to record
- Auto-cycles through players if autocycle is on to get to the player you are recording
- Notifies [other] admins of who you are recording
- Creates a "recording session" so that multiple people don't record the same person
- Automatically ends recording and tells you when the player leaves
- Automatically names the demo from the user's steam id and the date (in unix timestamp) so you never get duplicates
- Automatically forces an sb_status and a status (doesn't matter if you don't have the sb plugin on)
- Shows you a pretty hud message at the top with who you are recording, whether autocycle is on or off and whether it is currently cycling or if the user is dead.

Information

Zip file contains source, compiled and readme file which includes more detailed installation, history and usage info.

Source contains information and code for direct spectating, but also the problems that I have been facing. Once I get it working properly on publics (works fine on lan, which suggests latency is involved) then the plugin won't have to cycle, it will go directly to the player in question.

Timeline

2.3 [05/12/06] - Modified a few parts for AMXX
2.2 [04/12/06] - Released V2 to public

Very interesting, i like it +karma

Really nice plugin. Can you add a function that when the player has stopped the demo that he autorejoin the both team?

[Alcedema]

Sure, that would have to be a personal choice rather than a server-wide setting. So would adding a parameter for a3_stop like "a3_stop ar", which can be bound, suffice?

Of course I could always add it as a server setting aswell.

[DA]

I mean that all players which write a3_stop autorejoin to their team...

Don't have to be an extra cvar.

[Alcedema]

Well, what if theres more than one person to record, they would have to wait for another round or retry.

[Alcedema]

And it wouldn't be an extra cvar, just an extra parameter on the function thats already there. Auto teaming after a demo may be more trouble than its worth as a default of the stop command.

I will add it though, it's a good idea.

[GHW_Chronic]

so this just forces you to view a certain player and as well starts a demo. (as well as hud and such)?

Please use get_players rather than retrieving maxplayers and cycling through each slot.
