Greetings!

Are there any demo editing programs around or maybe in development? I used to fiddle with Quake demos back in the days, where you could modify camera angles/movements, removing the HUD and plenty of other stuff.

If a tool like this existed I think the community would start pushing out (more) awsome NS2 videos. :)

    My favourite part is that the demos play in wrong speed. Either too slow or too fast or they just stop working half way recording.

    Advanced? Could do with some basic editing programs, hell some basic demo FEATURES and a reduced file size, srsly.

    @kalakuja the demo playback is only 1:1 if played back at the EXACT fps it was recorded at (lol). So if you have more fps it plays faster and less fps makes it play slower.

    Interesting, not a single basic editing program/script? I have no previous experience of NS2 demos so I'm clueless in this field.

    Could a tool/script like this be developed by the community?

    It would take time.
    Better make a converter in video formats and edit videos.

    I doubt demo tools will come until the recording process itself is fixed.

    The demo feature is a vary simple tool for the devs to use in there bugfixing. And at a low priority. - Right now, the fixing of performance is taking priority over everything else.

    Performance > everything right now. I personally would like to see some ns2 demo tools become a medium priority in a few months maybe.
    Well i know its something that they want to so. But i think it depend on how reinforcement turns out.
