[CS:GO] Playback demo server-side?

Timon5022 · **Author**

Hi guys,

I am interested in gathering some data from player demo's in CSGO. So if I have a simple SourceMod plugin running on my server, which hooks into the "player_death" event, counting the amount of deaths a player has. Would it then be possible for me to playback a demo on my server while the plugin is running and have the plugin gathering data through that event hook?

I am afraid you cannot, but you can parse .dem files through some script, for example in python and from there you can without bigger problem decode it and get how much time certain players died.

Thank you for the response, I was afraid that would be the answer. I am not aware of how much data you can extract from .dem files, but I was interested in more than simple statistics than death, but thank you for the suggestion nonetheless.

You can, but not via any live function, so after map change it can be done. It can possibly be gatherd live, but it will have to be delayed. So you can create a plugin with callbacks hocks etc and make it analyze the demo and get the info you need, and or, create a plugin that records a demo upon hoocks.

Maybe this plugin can help you when it comes to hoocks and stuff?
