Tool for adding "ghosts" into a demo. Takes a base demo, and adds the view entity from a list of other demos. Useful for showing many speedrun attempts in a single demo. For best results try recamming the result.
Clone kugelrund's pydem repo and this repo:
git clone git@github.com:kugelrund/pydem.git
git clone git@github.com:matthewearl/demsuperimpose.gitRun the following to convert a demo:
PYTHONPATH=pydem python demsuperimpose/demsuperimpose.py base.dem ghost1.dem ghost2.dem ...This writes a file out.dem.
- All input demos must be single level only, ie. there must be exactly one server info command in the demo.
- Ghost skin colors are stuck at the default. It should be possible to fix this
by inserting
svc_updatecolorscommands, but only up to 16 total players, since that is Quake's hardcoded maximum scoreboard size.
