A3RR - Record and Replay Arma Missions - Beta 1.2

Description
ArmA 3 Record and Replay
IN BETA V1.2

What is A3RR?
A3RR or "ArmA 3 Record and Replay" sets out to allow players and server owners to record and replay their game-play. The replay happens in real time and allows the user to view the replay in spectator mode as the replay is taking place.

What can/can't this mod do?
can:
  • Record in real time
  • Playback in real time
  • Pause and scrub through the recording in *real* time
  • The mod works in muliplayer you need to log in as admin
can not:
  • Record Vehicle Animations (Does Record Vehicles Firing)
  • Be Completely Bug Free: This is a very complex system on top of the already buggy game
How to use it:
Mod must be loaded on the client AND the server
Under options in the arma menu go to controls. In the drop down select A3RR Playback and bind the controls to keys on your keyboard.

To start a recording you will want to open the control menu and click start recording. You can also play it back from this menu.
For a bit more in depth look at the mod watch the 5ish minute linked above


How it works:
A3RR Records large amounts of data, some of these data points collected each frame of recording include:
  1. Position
  2. Inventory
  3. Unit Outfit and Gear
  4. Unit Firing Data
  5. Unit Animation
  6. Object Position
  7. Vehicle Position And crew
  8. Player and Unit Names
This data is saved to the servers memory (RAM, as of now) when the recording is taking place. Then the data is written to the disk. When playback occurs the data is read frame by frame and the data collected is applied to recreate the mission or scenario.

Bugs:
This mod is in beta so expect bugs. The mod has been released as it is function but it still needs polishing. I will do my best to fix and squash any bugs that are found. The best way to tell me about a bug is to let me know in my discord server linked below.

Other Info:

A3RR is currently not open source and should not be redistributed. If you would like to use this in a commercial application please ask me on steam or on discord at Battlekeeper#0001 for permission. This license is subject to change in the future and the project may be open sourced.

I found a workaround for the engine that won’t start. First, create a save for the first helicopter. After saving, select another helicopter and save again, overwriting the first save. It’s important to keep the default save name. Then, launch Play, and voilà—the first helicopter now has its engine running and its blades spinning.
