After getting fed up by the lack of SOAP-DM support for ugc's "unique" map pool, but not wanting to manually get a bunch of spawn coordinates for every map I decided to make a "simple" program that extracts the coordinates from a demo file and generates the cfg from there.

Thus introducing soapmaker, an easy way to create SOAP-DM map configs.

1. Recoding a POV demo on your favorite unsupported map.
2. Shoot once for every location and angle you want to create a spawn for
3. Load the recorded demo in the site.
4. Check the location of the spawns in the viewer/
5. Export the map cfg to the clipboard.

Example config:

Only maps that are supported by demos.tf's demo viewer are supported if a map you want to use is not supported leave a github issue there

If you do end up not renewing the domain I'll be happy to take it over from you, I have a similar project in the making that is in the need for a good domain.

Very nice, will try that

pov demos are now a lot less likely to give an error and show work most of the time.

Due to the nature of pov demos it will however always show an incomplete state of the match which can lead to some confusing situations.

Improved the visibility of low health players and added ubercharge levels.

Currently alignment is trial and error, using the minimum and maximum coordinates of players during a match to get an initial guess.
Then drawing all player positions on the map and tweaking the values until it aligns.

I can probably improve the workflow by taking things like overview level into account but I haven't really investigated that yet.

I should be able to get pretty much every piece of data you can see ingame, it's all a matter of time and effort.

Add koth_bagel as supported map.

The main work currently to add a new map is not making the map overview image, but aligning it to the in-game coordinates.

Pushed a small fix that should fix the "voiceInit" issue

Showing control point/payload status is planed

A donate button can be found on the about page.

Have not seen that issue before, I'll see if I can fix the problem.

I've tried to make leveloverview images that show the indoor areas of the map since that's more useful this context than showing the roofs of buildings.
This does indeed lead to some weird looking areas, I might look into approving the images by combining images from different heights to get the best balance.

Also in the planning.

Is on the TODO list :)

If you can send me a link with the demo file I can see if I can fix the problem

View stv demos directly in the browser

After countless hours of work I'm happy to announce the ability to view stv demos in your browser, making it easy for individuals and teams to review and analyze games.

Usage

You can view any demo stored on the site by clicking the "View" button on the demo page, or you can go to the viewer page and select a demo file from your computer.

While viewing a demo you can zoom and look around the map to get the best view of the action.
You can navigate trough the demo using the timeline at the bottom, with the overall team health graphs giving an indication about the time pushes and other events happened.

Synchronized viewing

To make it easy to review a game with your team, the option exist to synchronize the playback of a demo for multiple users.

When viewing a demo stored on the site, you can use the "link" button in the top left to create a "share link".

Anyone using that link will then have it's playback synchronized with yours allowing a multiple people to review the same demo while making sure that everybody is looking at the exact same moment during the push.

The demo viewer can be found at everybody's favorite automated demo uploading website demos.tf, for people interested in the magic behind the scenes, the source of the viewer and demo parser can be found over at github.
