Some handy scripts

[jlv]

The demo splice script has been updated. It defaults to the new format. If you need to splice an old demo put --v4 on the command line.

ok super noob at this stuff

everytime i type python i get
traceback<most recent call last>:
File "<stdin>" , line 1 , in module

etc

whatsup? i edited the path and everything

my path looks like this

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;c:\python30;c:\python30\scripts\
and yes i have python 3.0 not 2.5

You don't want to start python by itself. You want to give it the script to run on the command line (e.g. "python demosplice.py --sync demo1.mxdemo demo2.mxdemo exporteddemo.mxdemo").

What should the directory look like in the demosplice.py file?

Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know that

WOWW took me long enough but i finally figured out splicing -_-

Quick question for JLV: If a person changes their physics from sim to arcade in the middle of a demo, is there something unique that will show up in the .mxdemo file when you open it with Notepad++? I was just wondering, i think it would be an easy way to find out if somebody is cheating. Not that i am saying people would cheat, but if you could just open it up and have the computer search for a certain thing, that would be nice. Thanks.
Also, what is the makeup of the first line in Notepad++ when you open a .mxdemo file?
MX05 1 0 3 1859 <-- [no idea] [number of riders] [no idea] [number of laps] [no idea]? Something like that?

-Number that the game reads to see if its compatible with the snapshot playing it
-Riders
-Time of race
-Laps
-Time the gate drops

Is there a reason the gate would drop at a different time for different demos? And does --sync make all the gates drop at the same time when splicing? I guess that would make sense.

The gate drops at different times in game, so you can't jump it (Like MvA, you know, everyone knows when it's going to drop). and --sync makes them all go at the same time.

[DankeKTM21]

so we always need to use --sync??

[Voutare]

Yes. Unless you want everyone starting 5 seconds from each other.

Wait, does the gate drop at different times? I count the 30second board guys footsteps and its always the same.

everytime i type python i get
traceback<most recent call last>:
File "<stdin>" , line 1 , in module

I get the same thing happening

I've downloaded python and installed it (version 3.0)

Followed the video and added in my path thingo ;C:\Python30;C:\Python30\Scripts
I then created a new folder in C:\Python30 called Scripts
I put the demo splice script into the Script folder
I opened a command prompt
C:\Users\Jordan> python demosplice.py --sync yomolocust.mxdemo exporteddemo.mxdemo

Also when i just type in "python" it says... 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch.

thanks for any help
