Awesome stuff!

looks awesome ! thx

heat map seems like an epic feature

Was it written pre-C++11? Some bits are awful to look at.

But other than that, awesome idea.

wow this is awesome! thank you!

If cooller didn't exist you would be the best

I have laughed way longer and louder at this than ought to be reasonable.

Awesome stuff, gonna try it out. Thank you for sharing.

excuse my ignorance, but what would we use a 2d demo viewer for?

Yeah I can see the benefit of heatmaps and like a top down view of the whole map for being able to pick apart tactics/posistioning etc.

you just answered yourself :D

sooo
can this be used to "stream" demos which are currently being recorded? and then used as some overlay for a stream?

Currently? No.
Doable? Yes, but at a cost.*
Planned? Not for now, but maybe whoever is in charge of casting QuakeCon this year (do we even know who it is?) can contact me and show their interest. ;-)

The cost:
- The many passes the application does to remove item and player flickering and fix LG beams wouldn't happen.
- The inherent delay from reading a file that is being written to disk using buffered writes.
- Scores analysis would also most probably have to be done differently.

I'm open to it, but there's no silver bullet.

Well, casters can at least generate heat maps after matches. I was thinking of maybe adding simple filters for it. Example: minimum/maximum health/armor/combined stack so we can see the differences in position when having control and being out of control.

do it fgt.

It would be cool to filter the heat map for weapon use. See where a player is when has rail out, etc.

I'm pretty sure myT can do a better job than I did at the time, but given the minimum chunk size that's written when recording, there's some minimum delay that cannot be circumvented.

Can you specify the delay/minimum chunk size written? I am thinking about a project that would need access to live data from the game which should be as new as possible. If I would only get data every 10 seconds that wouldn't be very good.

https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-III-Aren...ain.c#L248

I don't remember the numbers really, but possibly 4k or so for the chunksize, which ended up being a variable amount of time depending on how much is going on on game. TDM/CTF or FFA would be 2-3 sec, and duel much more.

ok, thx!

\o/

is this 2gds new game? :o) OMGScoots

hello (:

Sc00t was awesome

Who me? That's to be expected :p

nice

Where's the donation link?

I'm not one for advertising it, but if you must: here it is

why 2d viewer for linux?

Because I can. And I know Quake players who mainly use Linux.

Can't be many of those as Quake Live doesn't run on Linux.

But, whatever.

But the dedicated servers ONLY work on Linux.

Go figure...

donuts and coke?

That's not true, but it is recommended that they run Linux, they can also run on windows.

Quake Live client only supports Windows 7 or higher, and has done so since before the switch to Steam.

There is no support for Mac or Linux, but you can run it under those OS' but as virtual machines with poor performance.

That's why I am surprised this program is released for Linux.

I don't see the point in running the game in Windows, but use this 2d viewer in Linux.

I mean, if one wants to be difficult... sure.

Quake Live isn't the only game whose demos the viewer supports. It's written on the second line of the OP.

Oh look another sarcastic negative post from Daniel2, what a shocker.

Oh look another sarcastic negative post from gSTRUCTOR, what a shocker.

Oh look another unimaginative post by Mizzu, what a shocker.

brilliant stuff.... ty for sharing!

Great improvements! I'm happy to see this project continuing!

Good stuff, But what about x86?

It's supported, just didn't take the time for this first public build.
Once I get the packaging scripts etc in place I'll have 32-bit builds for every release, just like I currently do for all other UDT binaries.

Awesome work dude, coding takes lots of time and youre devoting it to Quake, youre another hero in the fantastic history of this game < 3

Would be cool if the same map vis could be used for when aliases are recognized (dm6, pro-dm6, campgrounds, etc).

That's already the case. Look at viewer_data/map_aliases.txt

Funky, it did not work yesterday night with some demos I had around. I'll check again to see what's wrong.

heat map is fucking awsome

yep this is what i was talking about the 2d overview should be added in spectator mode

Updated download links in the OP.

Last bump: version 0.1.2 is out, details here
All future updates will be posted here from now on.

Can you make an item log which keeps tracks item spawn times and is it possible to to use the sound of the pickup for that too so you can track enemy pick ups. Also if you don't get information for a certain pickup can you put estimate times too. And maybe make them clickable so the demo goes to that point in time. This would be a great demo analysis tool if it had these features.

EDIT: Also can you make the circles that represent the players have dynamic colours to represent their stacks and have extra options so you can choose between HP, Armour or both. So for example having a low stack would be red and having a big stack would be blue. Having this makes analysis easier when figuring out. I just realised that it would be impossible to do it for the other player unless you have it predict the opponent's stack based on hp bubbles/items missing when you go to their location.
