Hi there, I made a patch to record server-side demos, and I propose that it is added to the ioquake3 page listing third-party patches:
http://ioquake3.org/extras/patches/ Initially it was made for OpenArena, but later it was ported to OpenArena+ioquake3. I have used this patch successfully for a whole year on my game servers running OpenArena, so it seems pretty stable (apart from a flaw which prevent replaying demos on maps with mover objects). The patch has been designed as an external module, so all the core code is implemented inside the following files: /code/server/sv_demo.c /code/server/sv_demo_ext.c A few hooks have to be added to some of the main ioquake3 core files, but they were kept to a minimum to ease portability. A few technical notes: this patch is completely server-side, meaning this is NOT a game engine mod, thus you only have to replace your server's binary executable, and the server-side demos can be recorded for any mod. The sourcecode (opensource of course) and more infos are available at the following repo: https://github.com/lrq3000/openarena_engine_serversidedemos/ I am also open to feedback so feel free to tell me your experience if you try this patch.
