Well I guess just showing an interest would do...making a comment...making suggestions...space on this website for it...maybe even putting it in the download (size permitting)

No "what cam you are viewing from* information is recorded The problem is that when demos playback, the db player isn't used... so the camera isn't auto-set. Cams are client-side, so (in theory) the demo should allow you to view the action from ANY camera. I've seen the problem in action and I will address it ASAP... although I really don't think I'll be able to make many of the camera keybinds work. :/
So maybe I will just have to have it record what camera you are viewing from.. /shrug

For a great, yet complex tutorial covering everything, maybe some map makers would take the interactive approach? Spawn some charactors in the training map that will demonstrate the actions needed, then place the player in one of the positions, and get them to practise copying it...

So, a camera fly over of a map, voice over of a person going 'This is a deathball map.. the aim is to.. rar rar rar' then spawn a bot, bot shoots into goal, lights flash, people cheer.. etc.. then, spawn the player, with the ball in front of them.. and wait untill they score. Make an option somewhere 'do you want to try this again?' and 'do you wish to repeat the demonstration', and perform actions accordingly. for things like vollies, timing bots to do stuff would be good (i'm not sure the full flexability of the engine thou) and just simple stuff like that.. As i say, would need someone experianced, however, would do newbies a lot of good :D
