cambios en el UT2003 2153 beta 2


Demo Recording:

Demos can be recorded either on a server, or in single player.
Recording a demo as a client in a network game is not yet supported.

Recording:

To record a demo on your server, start the server with the ?demorec URL
parameter. For example:

ucc server dm-gael?game=xgame.xdeathmatch?demorec=mydemo

Will record the game to the demo file mydemo.dem. If you leave off the
"=mydemo.dem", the server will record a demo with a unique filename
starting at demo0001.dem, demo0002.dem etc.

You can also use the "demorec" console command at the server console to
start recording a demo after a match has started. For example, "demorec
mydemo" or just "demorec".

Playback:

Use the "demoplay" console command. For example, "demoplay mydemo".
During playback, pressing Fire will cycle between the players in the
game and a free spectator camera. Pressing Alt-fire will switch between
first and 3rd person.

"demoplay mydemo?loop" will cause the demo to loop infinitely until the
"stopdemo" console command is used.

Normally demos play back capped to the frame rate at which they were
recorded. To remove this cap, use "demoplay mydemo?timedemo". This
will play the demo back as fast as possible and dump the average fps to
the console at the end of the demo. If a demo recorded at a higher
framerate than your computer is able to play it back, the demo will play
in slow motion.

The frame rate dedicated servers use when recording demos is adjustable
in UT2003.ini in the [Engine.DemoRecDriver] section. Change
NetServerMaxTickRate and LanServerMaxTickRate. The default values are
30 fps. Increasing these will increase your server CPU utilization.
