Demos

What are demos???

  • Eida was able to generate demos on specific maps he built and uploaded, although this took time. (EMInterloper3)
    • This includes multiple demo types, including type 5 and type 3
    • Therefore demos can't just be recordings of memories, they were actively being generated
  • Demos can repeat: the INTERLOPE command can return an identical demo multiple times
    • Notably 09-09-13 from PSBStuck (stuck, can't move) and a live demo from IL2 02:25
    • Therefore demos can't just be generated live, they have to be pulling from a repository of recordings
  • Demos are described as "committed" by the INTERLOPE command Commit Numbers usually with a ##-##-## format (that isn't a date), but sometimes "TODAY" in the case of Type 7 demos
  • Server messages in demo files suggest demos are stored in The Repo
    • Demos come from connecting directly to the repo instead of using the interface, and directly accessing the repo is discouraged
