New dribble.tf Update

Been a while since adding anything, appreciate any thoughts/feedback. :)

Big props to zebulon for keeping the project alive

Player outlines toggle
- Press O to turn on/off
- Is pretty intensive, might kill your PC!

Frame smoothing
- Interpolate between ticks for 0.1x, 0.5x, 1x speeds - which means smoother slow motion!
- May also kill your PC - I am not good at optimizing!

Explore maps
- You can explore the maps by themself by clicking the map name in the About panel.

Killfeed improvements
- Make names clickable (jumps to the player's POV)
- Make killfeed row highlighted if spectated player is involved

Thanks for the detailed info. Looking into this, I believe demo.js does indeed successfully parse/play the entire demo, but the frontend tick # is not actually correct, as the tickrate is scaled down to 30TPS, resulting in the displayed tick values being 1/2 of what they should be.

I just tried removing the downscale, but running at 60TPS totally annihilates performance. I'm not super familiar with the demo.js parser, so I may just display the tick values as tick * 2, but it:

• still doesn't account for paused ticks (they end up being "padded" to the end of playback)
  
• may be slightly off the actual ingame tick (reference comparisons below)

---

I may just totally remove showing the tick #, and just display a playback time instead? e.g. [03:40 / 19:29]

Otherwise I could just "display" tick * 2 (kinda sus), but it will be inaccurate for demos with pauses.

---

Used match below to test (as it has a pause & a VOD on Youtube to reference).

Also seems there are some bugs that occur with certain types of STVs (maybe due to certain plugins?) or maybe pause, that cause PlayerResource data to be missing (so players show up pink/unknown). TBD...

Edit: yo we can't use emojis here?

Update 25/11/2020

POV switching
Improved how this works; more reliable and better indicators.

- 1 .................. Go to next POV
- Shift + 1 ...... Go to previous POV
- Switching between POV is based on the order in the UI
- Click on the player name in the UI to jump to their POV

Added drawing tools
It's a bit tricky to figure out the best UX/hotkeys for it, so I've added some settings to slightly tailor how you may use it.

- F ...... activate the drawing tools
- Z ...... undo last line
- C ...... clear everything
- You can change activation mode to either Hold / Toggle (not sure which I prefer :P)
- You can enable auto clearing when dismissed (feels better with this on I think)

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Seems like textured maps are a big want; main setback are a bunch of broken textures & massive file size (~100mb per textured map vs ~6mb per untextured map). Current implementation has all full-res textures baked into each model file, so it's not the most efficient solution.

Not familiar with Blender so the texture stuff is trial and error right now; and three.js also changes rapidly so things tend to break!

Will probably prioritize this; and any existing bugs/issues people encounter.

Yeah the valve assets are pretty painful. I did manage to have player animations load into Blender, but I never tried exporting them to glTF / running them in the viewer - am not planning on implementing animations (think that may be a nightmare

dribble.tf
Demo replay in browser... but less epic

Github | Discord

Overview
Project was created because constantly having to reload demos in TF2 to re-watch mids/pushes was super annoying.

This is intended to be more of a tool to analyse/review high-level team play; thus won't be trying to "reproduce" in-game quality visuals/behaviour entirely.

This only works for STV demos! You can try loading POV ones but they will be buggy.

Check it out! https://dribble.tf

Features

• Load STV .dem files into demo viewer via browser
  
• 3D models of players & maps (glTF)
  
• 3 map geometries: wireframe, plain, textured
  
• 3 camera modes: POV, spectator camera, RTS camera
  
• Timeline/tick scrubbing
  
• Change playback rate (0.1x to 3x speed)
  
• Drawing tools

Notes

• If you're getting super low frames, try turning hardware acceleration on in your browser.
  
• There are a bunch of keyboard shortcuts, there's usually key indicators if you hover over certain buttons
  
• There may be occasions where FPS tank (e.g. start of first round) - likely due to 3D models being loaded for the first time
  
• Performance quite bad in non-Chromium browsers (e.g. Firefox) - probably due to underlying 3D rendering magics

• Icewind for his demostf libraries. (huge props!)
  
• zebulon for solving map models, textures, skyboxes and grinding map exports
  
• lasa01 for io_import_vmf for converting 3D models.

I just started mucking around with StatusSpec, statusspec_localplayer_track_spec_target and statusspec_localplayer_set_current_target are still broken, but this seems to work for me:

// F1-F12 switches to player indexes and enables localplayer (for killfeed)
statusspec_localplayer_enabled 1
statusspec_cameratools_spec_player_alive 0

bind "F1" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 2; statusspec_localplayer_player 2"
bind "F2" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 3; statusspec_localplayer_player 3"
bind "F3" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 4; statusspec_localplayer_player 4"
bind "F4" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 5; statusspec_localplayer_player 5"
bind "F5" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 6; statusspec_localplayer_player 6"
bind "F6" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 7; statusspec_localplayer_player 7"
bind "F7" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 8; statusspec_localplayer_player 8"
bind "F8" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 9; statusspec_localplayer_player 9"
bind "F9" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 10; statusspec_localplayer_player 10"
bind "F10" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 11; statusspec_localplayer_player 11"
bind "F11" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 12; statusspec_localplayer_player 12"
bind "F12" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 13; statusspec_localplayer_player 13"

Not sure if something in a recent update 'fixed' it? But seems like some people had problems with statusspec_cameratools_spec_player?

Anyhow, I'm using this together with the latest version of Lawena and it's working so far.

Edit:

Attempted to make an alias thingo that emulates how I assume the old command would've worked. I think this probably doesn't work well with the F1-F12 binds because there's no way to 'remember' the index position(?) Anyway, hopefully this works as intended, otherwise let me know.

// Execute view for player 1, not sure if this is necessary
statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 2; statusspec_localplayer_player 2; spec_mode 4;

alias "Player1" "statusspec_cameratools_spec_player 2; statusspec_localplayer_player 2; spec_mode 4; alias NextPlayer Player2; alias PreviousPlayer Player12"

bind "mouse1" "NextPlayer"

Edit 2:
Seems like it works perfectly well with some STVs, whereas others a few of the players don't have indexes assigned to them so the camera doesn't go to them during the cycle. Most likely just demo shit being broken from some recent updates.

I'll add one to the earlier post. Just so you know, this is just me mucking around trying stuff, not really intending to make a full blown HUD.

Also did a splatter for the round time.

Was mucking around today with using vtfs, trying things out. Don't really know what I'm doing!

(They're meant to be paint splattery thingies)

Download link

Note: Everything is still very messy, a lot of bad alignment/colours/fonts etc. Added some opacity to the splatters. The HUD is also kinda broken in various places.
It looks really bad if your texture quality is set to low, by the way.
Uploading in case you want to see/use the splatter vtfs. Please back up your stuff though!

Also, it's a modified 5MD yAhud (the best HUD!)

nailed the balance between editing and pace etc. such that you know what's going on.

some videos feel overdone that it's hard to follow the frags, but this was just perfect!

This game is killing me.
