Looks like I'm a bit late with my thread so please go and like this thread if you agree with the idea:

Twitch TV is nice, but it is still bound to the flat 2D recording of my stream....

I would like 3D data that I can record, play back and look at from different angles, heck I could even position cameras and SWITCH between them to observe my strategy from different angles.

Basically I want a 3D playback device so I can watch my adventures and make them cinematic or study tactics.

Is it possible to encode our logs together with position data locally to reconstruct a fight?

This data is already accessible, we just need vector coordinates to be recorded by our clients. No server side coding required.

All I'm asking is for a real time fight. Imagine if Titanomachy could be played back in real time.

Iknow but up until recently CCP did not have a twitch button either. This would b a weekend project for an intern. They already have all the code for dumping log data to a text file AND the ship positions do contain 3D coordinates so it should be fairly simple to implement, the best part is that the data simply lives as a bunch of numbers in a text file and the client can actually play back this data without having to record or encode video like twitch.

Come on guys, you have a following use those interns for something useful and lets have battles we can SHARE!

It would be another way for players to promote the game and spread the eve lore across the web.

Also I could pick my angles, setup my cameras and stream to twitch with cinematic precision!

It's a win win!

CCP doesn't even need to make a player actually. Just provide us with the raw ship coordinate data and I GUARANTEE someone will make a player and editor. We don't even need the game engine, once you have the data anyone could make a player, make even cooler shaders which would not be possible in real time / game engine and grab assets directly from triexporter.
