Caracteristicas.

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.
