Replay suggestion

[ThanosOfTitan]

Ok, probably not technically feasable, but how possible would it be to keep a sort of running log of activity, like the last 30-60 seconds, that could be replayed or saved (provided you "froze" it through menu action) for later replay?

Want to see who trained you? Check the taper per se. Want to see how that mob pathed into those adds? Can I see the replay?

Certainly disk space and processing power would be prime considerations.

Seems a nice Feature, but can be a lot of work =)

I think, I have seen a record and playback feature (even slow motion), just don't ask me where and how *g* (pcap feature ?)

Diskspace shouldn't be a problem, since EQ's datarate is usually below 1kByte/s, so even a full day are less than 100MB.

Yes a record/playback has existed for quite some time. It is mostly used for debugging but can also be handy for recaping what happened.

do 'showeq --help'.

  -j, --playback-file=FILENAME            Playback packets in FILENAME, previously recorded with -g option
      --playback-speed=SPEED            -1 = Paused, 0 = Max, 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast
  -g, --record-file=FILENAME               Record packets to FILENAME to playback with the -j option.

With playback speed interactively controlled via:
Ctrl+X - Increase Playback Speed
Ctrl+Z - Decrease Playback Speed

Enjoy,
