ET DemoView Edition - Enemy Territory Software

In the latest version, 'A' activates shownormals 6 or 7, which now looks like r_showtris.

 

the color is taken from r_triscolor format (r g b alpha) with all 4 ranging from 0 to 1

 

for instance, opaque green could be (alpha = 1):

/r_triscolor "0 1 0 1"

 

If you type

/r_triscolor "0 1 0 0.1"

it's still green, but more transparent. If alpha is 0 you won't probably see anything at all, check your r_triscolor value maybe?

 

Other than this, I can't think of a reason at the moment. Which mod is the demo recorded with?

As regards the problem with loading, I would like to know if it's the Windows version or the Linux version, and if there is a specific error message.

 

You need to run it from an ET installation folder, i.e. where et.exe is.

How to rewind?

 

Type 

 

/demo

 

and press tab for more commands. You'll see

 

/demo_timeseek 

/demo_seekrelative

/demo_seeksvtime

It'd be even better if you could upload it to GitHub (if you worked on that using git or svn it shouldn't be a big deal to import the project and keep changes tree). There's still some space for improvements in your project and I thought I could look into it when having some free time. As it's pointless to start from scratch, your original work would be really helpful.

Here is the code.

The program is great help for watching demos and I have used it alot. Just a minor improvement I was missing was the fact that it'd be great to be able to rewind/forward 10 - 30 seconds by pressing some buttons (like the arrow keys for example). Lazy man doesn't like to type :D

It could contain a GUI in which you could select your demo files, maybe even have a playlist and it would automatically run the demo replay with proper parameters so there's no need to run the instance of the engine manually and select everything in-game. I think it would simplify watching demos and save some time.

 

BTW, I can't download your attachment, it says "You do not have permission to view this attachment."

That's a bug with the forum, atm. If you're using chrome right click and view in incognito.

Hey, anyone have luck running this on a mac?

 

You probably know all about the various Windows-on-Macs methods 5 Ways to Run Windows Software on a Mac

 

If your problem is that you get an error that implies that you tried to connect to a server when you actually tried to view a demo, that has become a 'normal glitch' for me.  I just have to try a second time without exiting ET and it works okay :D  I suspect that some Windows internals that this program depends on have changed in the last 6.5 years, but not so badly that it is 'broken'.

@RedBaird I use Wine for playing ET. So far when I try to install this program "et_demoview_1_4" program, I'm having issues. Not sure what's happening but here is the ss of what happens in the end of installing:

In Windows, I unzipped the .zip file and put the resulting ET_DemoView_1.4.exe into my ProgramFiles/ Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory folder.  From there, it should find all the files that it needs, including ET.exe , the default.cfg.  I made a shortcut to that .exe file and run it from elsewhere.

 

You seem to be executing the demoview in your Z: drive .  I that where you have ET installed? Your SS shows the program looking in z:\/etmain for its files. That "Z:\/", with slashes in both directions, looks odd.  Is that what you see when you run ET?

 

Looking inside ET.exe, it does contain the text-lines of

exec default.cfg

Couldn't load default.cfg - I am missing essential files - verify your installation?

 

It looks like DemoViewer is executing ET.exe, but ET cannot find its files in ETmain.  In windows it is not necessary to actually "install" the program.

I think it's a Jaymod bug, actually. Every time I view a Jaymod demo (in normal ET), I get the same bug.
