Send demo to web interface | SourceBans ++ (Reason for bans and demos as evidence)

[crashzk]

Some silly doubts... :)

First, where the demos are saved, CSGO standard, csgo folder?

Any way to choose this location to save the demos?

Second, do you intend to implement an automatic web upload option?

Yeah, demos are stored in the standard game folder.

I was planning to work on an update that would let you choose where to save demos, but I got fairly busy with other things and so that update was never finished.
So currently, there is no way to choose another location to store the demos.

Automatic web upload would be cool, no idea how to go about doing that tho :/

I understand, for now ok, I thought about leaving a folder set up just for the demos he recorded, so it’s easier to find them later.

I thought about using SourceBans ++ itself. It is already compatible with sourcebans, it would be interesting whenever he applies a ban to send the demo to the zipped sourcebans, along with the reason for the ban, as proof, since sourcebans has this feature.

Would something like this be possible?

@J-Tanzanite I can't find the demos he creates when a player is banned by Lilac.

The plugin log has this:

Recording SourceTV demo "2021_04_28__11_54_19.dem".

Removed [002 | STEAM_1:0:563504071].
Ended recording.

However, I don't find any dome with this name in the server's csgo folder.

Sadly, SB++ itself doesn't come with any upload features, so I would have to use other plugins (and extensions I suppose) to be able to do so.

Afaik, SMAC had a plugin that could upload demos to a FTP server, but those dependencies are realllllyyyy old and not maintained; so I wouldn't use those. :/

It should in theory be possible, but as far as I can tell, there isn't a simple way to implement this.
So it's probably not going to happen.

The demos are in the game folder, as in:

addons/
bin/
cfg/
maps/
materials/
...
2021_04_28__11_54_19.dem
2021_04_28__12_05_24.dem
2021_04_28__12_17_13.dem
...

The folder where the addons, bin, cfg folders etc reside in, that's the folder where you'll find your demos.

I understand, in any case I will leave these issues open for who knows in the future it can be done.

[J-Tanzanite]

Good idea, I'll add some tags as well :)
