Well, imo ther should be more comments to make demowatching (and movie making as well) more comfortable. i didnt found his topic in kazukis list so i hope it wasnt mentioned yet. As u can already change the demo speed with parameters, most of the commands i want to suggest should be easy to realise. Furthermore the normal game hud could be changed into a demo hud including all the commands u need (like in a normal video player or as in counter-strike).

so here are the cmds:

/pause (just demospeed 0)
/play (after pause or to set speed back default)
/speed [number] (sets demo speed to [number]% ; only thing that needn`t to be included into the hud)
/slowmotion (sets demo speed to 30%) [optional-could be done with /speed as well, but i know ur all lazy :p and it would be nice in a hud]
/fastforward (sets demo speed to 300%) [optional-see /slowmotion]
/rewind (sets demo speed to -300%) [see above again ..]
/skipto <time> (I guess this is gonna be the most difficult cmd to realise. And even more to integrate it in a hud. However, it would improve demo watching a lot. Much more comfortable than just /fastforwarding all the time.)
/playdemo <name> (as a ability to switch beetween demos without exitting to menu. may included into the hud as popup-list) [optional]
/split <time1> <time2> <newname> (to make a smaller new demo <newname> out of the original one from <time1> to <time2>) [optional]

In addition, there could be
-a demos.txt in order to not overwrite the favservers.txt all the time and
-maybe a demo-click-box (like the spectator-click-box) which enables the said demos.txt instead of the favservers.txt and sets port automatcally to 0


so tell me ur opinions ;)

sounds cool, but think it would be up to the guy who made the demoplayer.. i think its ...pr0ger?

i aint talkin about the diamond demo player... i talk about ingame demo watching.
u couldnt inplement this in dd anyway cuz its just a prog to start watching demo. i talked about changes in soldat. so its up to michal not to proger.

Indeed. But if it gets implemented to Soldat, it will be available in dd player too. But slowmotion should be slower, and fast forward faster.. as I recon, demos display at 200% speed by default.

well the slowmo, ff and rw values i suggested doesnt matter. just an example how it could work. And no u neednt to make it available in dd player cuz demo starting wouldnt change (unless michal implements the idea of the democlickbox too)

very good suggestions. these should definately be implemented
