TOPIC: DarkRp: backtime recorder

Server Name: Zarp server 1-2 dark rp

Suggestion Title: Backtime recorder

How would it benefit the server: Making people get more proof of rule breakers

Potential Issues/Exploits: None

Additional notes: This will help the community get less rule breakers, so it is much easier for staffs to get proof of what happend. It would record 10 seconds after the person died/killed as you can see what happend,
Example: Jilly killed a person, Filly making report, a staff is handling and wants proof then the staff goes in to the logs and looks on backtime recorder. He can now watch Jilly`s screen for 10 seconds to see his death
(Picture example)

(Im bad at editing)

Please put this topic to suggestions i forgot

okay so basically adding a recorder in the game-mode wich i believe isnt possible Quote i BELIEVE

second of all, storing all those video's and loading them is gonna put huge stress on the server
if u want the server to lag out and become a total lagg-fest then yes, good idea

overall id say this idea belongs in the trashcan

well ofc if you want to make the server die from lag like DeathRazor said

No, but the if you press on the video it gets downloaded only for you, it wont download AFTER he is dead, it is also only 10 second, it will lag for about 3 seconds and get gone

But the server would have to be recording for everyone at all times, in case someone wanted to view the footage. It's complicated, so I will just tell you that it will lag the server ALOT.

thats not how it works buddy, where is the video stored? in the server, it stores 1 vid every death from 10 seconds worth of video
that making alone would cause huge lagg

The video will be stored in a file probably, but all said "Well how does it record for them then?"
Well just as counter strike overwatch, some bots will do what they did, so when you click "view" the bots will try to render what happend, or they could make that if you press example (F9) or write "!backtime" it will download it and if somebody download it you`ll need to wait til that video is rendered

It is possible in certain terms yet you can't for a user to download a server side file, they'd need higher access than Admin. Even downloading the file would cause havic to the server, as downloading something from a live server a withdrawing information from a live server on a constant basis means more lag. It just seem efficient and possible for such a server with a gain player base.

Or you know the server could make the user record a demo for the whole time they're on simples

As i said because it got a little hidden
or they could make that if you press example (F9) or write "!backtime" it will download it and if somebody download so the admins can look at it . You`ll need to wait til that video is rendered

Unless the server is using SSD storage, this would kill the whole VPS. All of the writes for every kill, and reading all of the data, would demolish loading times for every server on the VPS.

As I said its just not efficient and would cause mass amounts of lag to the server; it having to store files already means thats another job to handle this excluding actually running everything else. Then a staff team or Admin team which is downloading a file from when someone RDM's etc etc. Over and over again would not work it would possibly crash the server. Myself the current way the staff team handles proof is fine; until we can come up with an alternative for staff that will not cause a disaster for the server. I think we are just best sticking where we are.

Well if it destroys the VPS then it will be a bad idea i guess
Well lock this! I just found out this isnt a good idea at all

Demos record everything so of course it's the past what else will it record ffs

Wait, so the record command records present time then? i forgot it was record demo and normal record
