This mod enables the player to record a flight path and replay.
During recording, the player no longer is under the influence of gravity and turns with the camera. Acceleration and braking are smooth and gentle, and strafing is disabled. The player will not stop moving by themselves and will go in a straight line. For optimum smooth paths, one should enable cinematic camera control (F8).
The goal of this mod are two fold: First, for entertainment and demonstration purposes. We'd like to show how cool Minetest is, and my goal is to make a "demo" Minetest subgame that can be used to provide a quick way for players to see how interesting and visually appealing Minetest can be.
Second, developers are looking for ways to reliably replay certain maps to do performance testing on rendering times. A fixed map and fixed player movement path are two of the largest requirements to make that doable. With this mod, this is in reach - and we just need an FPS counter to make it a fairly usable test.
How do use this mod?
