[Iffo]

Just a quick question which I think I know the answer to already,

 

Is it possible to record a demo in SP then play it back in jaMME?

Depends what you mean. If you mean SP as in jasp.exe the campaign, then no. It's not possible without a fairly major rewrite

If you mean a local server, like /map blah or "Solo Game", then yes, easily.

Why is there such a difference between a local server and the SP campaign? Because of hard coding?

[Raz0r]

Because of the way code is laid out in SP and MP.

 

MP has strict separation of engine, renderer, game, client game, UI.

SP has: engine + UI, renderer, game + client game. Or something like that.

Whenever two things are combined, it means they access eachother directly - so for SP this means that the game module doesn't need to use any networking to send/receive data from the client game module.

Demos rely on capturing that network data and replaying it as if were happening right now.
