Recording/Replay feature

413 votes

One of the biggest challenge our server, and other servers have faced, is the lack of a full replay/logging system for players to use in order to provide information for reports. Even communities with not so many rules could benefit enormously from being able to see all sides of an incident after the fact. I understand such a system is not easy or simple to produce, but something very rudimentary that gives at least player names and locations at a given time would enormously reduce the strain on community members as well as staff. A robust replay system would also be a boon for content creators and even potentially for testing. The DemoNetDriver system present in Unreal isn't perfect, but the option is there.

Isn't something like this already planned? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall Jiggy showing off something like this along with a photo mode (same system).

This would be an amazing feature for realism servers that enforce rules

While it's already planned, I didn't see it anywhere in this documentation, so I thought suggesting it might be a good way to show that it's of interest.

This would be very amazing. If it got created into a file then people can create it into youtube videos and so they dont need to be filming as 5 minutes have passed and they find out their disc space has ran out.

Would love to see this feature come sooner rather than later! It'll be helpful in moderating and helping our communities grow! I know that there is a report feature in game already, but that generally requires a player death. Some communities have rules that do not involve players dying, and this would be helpful in moderating those situations.

I'd love to see this released before Gondwar or after Gondwa, this needs to be a thing, even though it is already planned and that, It's a feature that has been unavailable since day one, and It would be more beneficial for servers that enforce on their rules.

This feature can also help with recording fan documentary's that maybe some people would want to do as well.

Please work on this feature and throw it in an update sooner rather than later!! This feature would bring huge QoL changes to every server!!! You would make a lot of people happy and we would feel heard!

@Borga I believe the most recent update video theyve posted has scenes recorded with the replay feature, but again thats just speculation and me being hopeful.

It's a forever needed feature. Someone's recording program may not work, isn't working or someone just doesn't have any recording software. Lazy to some extent PoT devs aren't even interested in fixing mobile optimization, PoT on mobile is just for profit and not a real interest. They are busy with Gondwa atm, so I don't see the replay tool will be in game any time soon. If it will be, it will be just as broken as AI, optimization on mobile and in general and
hitboxes.

Just to add, most will disagree with me, but I see what I see. None of the dino sim game genre is ever good if you look at it.

(Not directed in any negative light at the OP, this is just in general as I know devs look at these)

Unfortunately, my upvote is not sticking, so I am stating this as well, this suggestion as my approval.

It's on the loading screen where you select multiplayer, community, or solo. Currently, the option is grey indicating it is planned but not fully functional. There are also settings under the gameplay section, for auto-recording and recording indicator. So it seems safe to say that this is a feature ALREADY planned and they'll get to it when they get to it, just like everything else. They have a lot to do XD

Semi realism/ realism servers are REALLY needing this feature. Its being hard to keep up realism rules with out it!

This would be amazing for finding our what happened when you get absolutely blasted by a dino or a wild pack of 3 to 5 ducks.... also would be a good idea as we could then submit the screen caps and videos showing glitches and what have you

This seems fun, you could make a lil show of a rex life. or make mini-movies. its like a film-maker, this will change community servers as well. so when replays released, Bye-bye rulebreakers!
