If you've got an action packed demo, it's a very Matrix-y feel to pause and move around. 

Don't forget that the draw distance is based on whichever character is designated as "player" in the demo.   All the map stuff is there, but if you get too far away from the player,  NPCs and items won't be there.

Are you saying one can write a demo script file that is long and can perform more than one mov? ...or, um...
stacked mov's?....I thought 20 sec's was the limit....maybe I mis-read something.

I'm not sure there's a limit other than how much memory you have.  I have 15 minute long recorded demos, and other people have uploaded half-hour long or more demos.   The one someone scripted that shows all the MOVs in the game is like 3+ hours long, if I remember correctly.

Here is that MOVs demo.

Here is an excerpt (not the whole thing!) from the file, showing how it handles multiple MOVs:

If all you did was copy-paste the chunk in the post, then of course nothing else happened. That was an excerpt, as Arachnion stated.

I tried using this to convert a Sentinel+ .xml file into a .demorecord, but upon uploading the file to the DEMOlition website, I always get a reply of "The CSRF token is invalid. Please try to resubmit the form."

Am I missing some step?  The files have been unmodified from when I saved them off before shutdown of the game.

So is the converter gone? Everytime I click on the link to go to it all I get is:


Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/mcuznz/demolition/web/index.php on line 8

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mcuznz/demolition/web/index.php on line 8
Strength and intelligence make no requirement of one another. Power demands both.

The link to the 'all the mov' on sugarsync is missing as well. Could someone please rehost that for me?

Go here:

https://spideroak.com/browse/share/COX_DEMOS/2000/RECORDS_COX/Animations/

The file I think you want is titled:

AllMOVs-04Dec2007.zip

If anyone else has any file CoX files they would like stored, let me know.

Thanks!
I looked through the other CoH stuff you have on there, and I think I have a few things you don't. Want me to send to you?

i will bundle up what I have and see the size, and most likely just PM a dropbox link to you if it's too big for email.
