.: Known Bugs :.

Problems with pev_sequence and pev_gaitsequence (some sequences are not shown (upper body goes to default position)) (dont know how to fix this)(fixed in 0.24)
Sizerestriction not working hopefully fixed inn next version)

.: How to install :.

Install like normal plugin
create a folder called "record/" in your data direcory (files will be save to this directory)(created automatically since 0.23)

.: Note :.

Server need write and read rights fro save directory
per default files will be written with 1.5Kbyte/sec ( 15 min equal 1.4MB) so be sure u have enought space on your server or change RECLIMITER to a bigger value or loweer the amount of save slots
byterate is calculated like this : 48*(1/RECLIMITER) this is max byterate per sec
if you set RECLIMITER to 0.0 every playerthink will be recorded wich on normal server is approx. 66 times/sec (3.1Kbyte/s (2.7MB for 15 min))
EDIT: just tested 20 min produced 1.5MB file
didn't test on 64bit system dont know if it will work since datatypes are a bit different
only tested in CStrike
you could test it here 85.14.217.35:1338

.: ToDo :.

tweaking visual stuff if needed

.: FileStructure (Version 22) :.

[HEADER][FLOAT][THINK][THINK][THINK][THINK]... ...[THINK]

the file is read until no data is found first float is useless

Header:

Code:

INT        Version [22]
INT        Unix Timestamp
String[33]    PLayer Name
String[33]    Steam ID
String[33]    Map
String[33]    Hostname
String[65]    Weapon Model
String[65]    Player Model

Think:

Code:

 Float    origin[0]
Float    origin[1]
Float    origin[2]
Float    angles[0]
Float    angles[1]
Float    angles[2]
Float    velocity[0]
Float    velocity[1]
Float    velocity[2]
Int    sequence
Int    gaitsequence
Float    Time to next think
