This looks particularly solid.

I’m going to assume it probably isn’t suitable for something like an action replay type system (for example Call of Duty’s killcams)?

Thanks ambershee.

That is an interesting question. You are probably right it wouldn’t be a good fit. There are three basic engine streamers: stream from file, server, & memory. It is possible to use the memory stream to replay events quickly like that but it loads like a level does, so it wouldn’t be an exact fit. You’d have to branch a custom version off for selectively loading assets almost like a sequencer asset, plus who know what else until you started doing it.

I’ve spent my time on the file stream and I’ll be getting onto the server & memory streamer next. If I see a direct way of doing it, i’ll let you know. =)

The Demo Replay Plugin is now used in Abatron. You get the benefit from all the updates we do for our game plus all our future new features. You can check out the Abatron Demo for free here to test drive the system.

Oh hey ambershee, it looks like an intended use for the memory streamer is for instant replays & death cams. I may add something for that in the future. =)

Added a new optional DemoPlayerState class so that playerstate array can be checked if they are demo player states or not for functions accessing and using the PlayerArray in the GameState class.

Oculus touch controllers just came in, so I will add support for these as well =)
