Recent demos cannot be processed anymore: CL_ParseServerMessage: Unknown cmd type

[tcsabina]

I saw some discussion on Discord about this. Something to do with BigCoords, whatever that should mean...

Would be nice to bring this tool back to life.

Does anyone have an example of a .mvd demo that failures with error?

[deurk]

Did you get one @clayg ?

I think any server with sv_bigcoords 1 should create such demos.

E.g. https://www.quakeservers.net/quakeworld/server_status/3593/ it seems to be listed in the status aswell.

I'm afraid that there are other things, for testing I hardcoded some things:

• replaced the return on unknown cmd by a break so we keep processing
• hardcoded MSG_ReadCoord() and MSG_ReadAngle() to work like msg_coordsize = 4 and msg_anglesize = 2

It does process the whole demo, and info logged seem to be accurate, but there still are a lot of CL_ParseServerMessage: Unknown cmd type. error messages. I guess there are other format that may be different.

Perhaps it is worth checking out:

https://github.com/jogi1/mvd_parser_lib

Or

https://github.com/jogi1/golang-mvd

Perhaps it is worth checking out:

https://github.com/jogi1/mvd_parser_lib

As far as I can tell, the functions MVD_MSG_ReadCoord() and MVD_MSG_ReadAngle() are the same as in mvdparser, aka: the old version not handling bigcoords.

@fzwoch I used the server you suggested and created a demo, it's available here:

@bleader for me when I tried to process this demo I got this error:

clayg@banana:~/quake/mvdparser$ ./mvdparser test.mvd
CL_ParseServerMessage: Unknown cmd type.
MVD_Parser_StartParse: Failed to parse server message.

Jogi's parser in Go seems to handle is just fine. So if there is extra code required one should be able to find it there.

Here is the sample output for that test.mvd:

Jogi's version is also buggy. It's not counting frags/deaths properly. I have reported this via discord. Waiting for response :P

[meag]

Fix should be included in #4

[tcsabina]

Closing, as it has been fixed
