I'm having all sorts of problems with this new version.

When I click from the views from player to player, the player that I'm watching is not the player that it states it is at the bottom of the window (Live Feed From .....). Sometimes, it stays the same name no matter who you are watching.

The player that you are watching "flashes" constantly while moving.

In 1st person, all I can see is the end of the weapon. For instance, with the ESR, all I can see is the very end of the gun.

If you're using the enhanced Opengl, try setting ZRangeHack to false. It is stated on the link below that this option "partially breaks weapon rendering".

It's a buggy feature and practically stalls (requiring a ctrl+alt+del) or crashes for everyone under certain conditions. What it seems to do is fastforward a demo very fast hitting up on any possible errors instantly or getting stuck in some sort of loop. For moviemaking purposes what I usually do is have a list of "safe" curtimes in excel that I can use to jump to certain parts of a demo. You're better off binding a key to slomo with something like "slomo 40 | onrelease slomo 1". An added tip is to also change the pause bind to "pause | curtime".

Changing the ZRangeHack to false didn't change anything.

Does this mean it correctly displays the actual ingame time which usually gets completely messed up once you press pause or use slomo in a demo?
That one has been a pain in the ass for me for a long time (especially for recording movie scenes).
If not, what does the "curtime" exactly do in the pause bind?

I'm not sure what is going on but the in-game clock usually desynchronizes when you speed up the demo. For example, you could get a count-down even though the end of match is still moments away. What you could try is speeding up the demo and then bringing it back to normal speed for a while.

As for curtime, think of it as the relative time within the demo (it's a demo manager specific command). It has the advantage of remaining precise whatever you do which makes it suitable for movie-making purposes. It's what I'm using for my movie.

Thankyou

It works better than Usaar's version, and he actually intended to fix it, but as I know him a little, he's: a) graduating again b) found another project (people seems to miss good scripters alot) c) got a life

Tnx m8, was looking for the one usaar released, but this version fixxed som errors, oh, and he usually responds to emails, if you want to talk to him (the cshp and utpure guys can prolly supply you with an e-mail addy, as the one I have are several years old, did some modelconversion ages ago, he always answered my questions, how silly they even where, and even fixxed a script for a model, he just thought it was fun that someone used his tutorial)

even for a yank, his very helpful

Try contacting the author of SmartCTF. The error is taking place in the class SmartCTFSpawnNotifyPRI and the function SpawnNotification.

More than likely not a problem with that function. That function probably ran across an actor that was improperly destroyed, especially if the function was of the foreach flavor.

it's not bugged and it's not random. The autorecorder will only activate when you load the menu. If you start up your game and you go directly to the server (either by clicking an unreal://x.x.x.x:yyyy link in windows or by opening the console and typing open x.x.x.x:yyyy) then the menu won't load. You have to ensure that you press escape first, before you do anything else. Once the menubar shows, the autorecorder is active

I am always getting on the server via Favorites. Always pressing escape after turning UT on to get there, and still it dosn't record every game :////

It is not really a bug but a limitation. The trick Usaar33 used for autorecording will only work under certain conditions. Without this trick, the feature would simply not be available. As Anthrax has explained, connecting to a server via a url or via a shortcut will stop the autorecording feature from working properly.

I suggest the following to ensure that demos are recorded. When you change the recording settings in demo manager, exit UT and start it again. Then connect to a server and type "demorec" plus a name of your choosing. If you get a message saying that a demo is already recording, it is apparently working. Do this each time you change settings. You might want to have a key binded with the demorec command to do some quick testing.

The only improvement I can imagine is to have a clear message to say that the autorecorder is active. Also, Anthrax updated demo manager on common request to fix some issues with that have breaken demo playback. It is originally Usaar33's project. If there is indeed a problem on your side, please trace back the steps that cause autorecording to fail. A log extract would be nice too. It is more helpful than saying that something is bugged.

UT produces a log whenever it's running. Normally it's UnrealTournament.log in /System. I suppose you have changed the default demo recording driver in your ini :

Code:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
;DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=udemo.uDemoDriver
Console=UTMenu.UTConsole
Language=int
As for the problem of autorecording not kicking in, this sometimes occurs when you :
1) Launch UT.
2) Press escape.
3) Go in your server browser.
4) Connect to a server.

Correct ? If so, it's up to you to keep an eye out to see when the autorecording feature isn't working. Unfortunately, there's no other way of doing things because we don't have access to your PC.

Is it possible to do a bind, like "Record demo %MapName_%Year%Month%Day___%Hour%Minute"
