TF2 Replay Update

Anybody interested in getting their public (or match) server replay enabled you’ll need:
– “replay_enable” set to 1 for starters. :D
– Either a HTTP server running on the same box as your TF2 server or have administrative access to a HTTP server somewhere else (this is so you can add a low-level FTP account on the server. :P).
– The latest update shipped with it the relevant .cfg files for you to set up with either method. If you have a HTTP server on the same box, use the “replay_local_http.cfg” file and follow the instructions in there to setup correctly. In the case where you’ll be offloading the replay files to another server completely you’ll be looking to configuere and use the “replay_ftp.cfg” file.
– Like I said, both come with a useful set of instructions to get you going.
afaik, TF2 won’t exact these commands straight away. If you have access to your server’s launch options you’ll want to add “+exec replay.cfg” to that command list. If you don’t, it maybe worth trying to add it to “server.cfg” or, I’m not sure if this works server-side, to “autoexec.cfg”.
Hope that helps any directors-to-be — who happen to own a server — out there. :P
EDIT: One other note for people: It would appear TF2 servers don’t treat the replay bot like an STV bot, i.e. a slot is created for the STV bot instead of it taking up a player slot. Replay appears to take up a player slot so people using 12 slot servers should keep their aspirations to be a director on hold until Valve sorts this one out. :P

No p-rec anymore ?
just a script to start Valve record.

As the replays are STV demos I don’t see p-rec becoming obsolete any time soon.

Replay upload is done on the main thread (at least for Linux
servers) at least in part and can cause noticeable frequent lag spikes.
Thus, I would not recommend the FTP offloading feature until they fix it

Finally i can remove all features for pub players :D

Crashes on 100% of saving a movie/take for me.
DX9frames, windowed mode, multicore rendering on.
Try turning off multicore rendering.
To be fair though, it is a bit buggy still, you could just be unlucky.
