demo-related bugs/glitches/omissions

I'm not certain if this is the right spot to post this, so if any admin/moderator wishes to move it to the proper place by all means please do so.

I think there may be a bug relating to demo playback. I ran a few tests just to make sure. It appears that decals within the map are not saved into the demo.

This occurred on both c1a3a and c1a2 of Half-life. In both instances blood decals that had been placed in the map originally, disappear. Is this an engine limitation, or a bug?

EXAMPLE:

Here is what it looks like in game:

Here is what it looks like in the demo:

Also, were "startmovie" and "endmovie" removed or never added into Xash? I was hoping to use Xash for demo capturing and Machinima-related efforts.

Hmm. Probably we need to resend all the decals when cmd "fullupdate" comes to the server. Look this code:

sv_client.c -> SV_ExecuteClientCommand

1

if( !Q_strcmp( Cmd_Argv( 0 ), "fullupdate" ))

2

{

3

  // resend the ambient sounds for demo recording

4

  Host_RestartAmbientSounds();

5

  // write code for resend all the decals and call it here

6

}

Does that mean it's a fairly easy fix? Is it possibly these could be put into a hotfix for the current version of Xash3D/XashXT? Or is this more involved than that?

May be it will be implemented sometime...
