Is Spec-K too much work for you? You might be interested in ReplayCam... it's a widget that takes control of your camera in replay/spec mode, and attempts to focus on the most interesting stuff.

Thoughts / suggestions welcome :)

Spec-K meta getting updates? Nice. I should test this soon.

Looks fantastic. A very minor thing, but some pitch and yaw movements could be a tad smother. I personally would not pitch the camera that far down during play. Instant transitions are fine and probably needed when action happens somewhere else.

fxrs Thanks very much for feedback :) I totally agree the camera pitch / yaw is too mechanical. I will put some physics on it at some point and hopefully can get it to be more fluid. Glad you like the instant transitions - I think it's a good way to show people more of what is going on at multiple locations. In fact one of the BAR developers has done work on the engine to fix the glitching that occurs on some instant transitions, so they should get a bit neater in the future.

Tried this out today.

I was going to say that the only thing that is missing is having user input override it....but user input does override! It's just a different set of camera controls than I am used to...

I'd love it if someone got a bot up and running that was using this to watch live games or review replays (if cheating is a concern).

Me too :) For live games maybe delaying it by 15s would be enough to mitigate this? If you want to cheat then I guess it's quite possible at the moment, but it would clearly make it more accessible. Replays would be cool though - I like the idea of voting on battle/replay of the week or something

This might be partially automatable by looking for significant reversals in the Metal Produced and/or Army Value charts, if this info is available in the replay file stats. Or for winning after solo-resigns on the team.

could you add to your read.me on git a short 'how to use' ? will probably generate more valueable feedback if more people use it with a lower entry bar ;)

mojjj Oh shucks, I didn't expect people to actually use it! ;)
