Feature Request: Timestamped message logging to stdout

[Spirit]

Since the engine I use for video capturing (Coder went AWOL and I cannot share the source <crying smilie>) does not have an option to scale the messages in the top left of the screen ("You receive 15 health") and those can be hard to read on Youtube's embedded players, I am looking for a workaround.

Youtube supports "a simple caption format that is compatible with the formats known as SubViewer (*.SUB) and SubRip (*.SRT)", see http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/a ... wer=166810

Could someone tell me how to add stdout printing of those messages including a timecode (in demo time!) in above format (or any format really)? I mean, can somebody write that and give me the lines to paste?

No reference binary needed really, those small hange engine release are cluttering up my collection enough already, heh.

I guess it is fairly simple but I would not know where to start searching for the time.

Thank you!

edit2: Whoever does this may decide on what I will play through next (must be something <30 minutes playtime), I will upload the full fiasco.

Um, DarkPlaces (and Qrack) has con_textsize, which you can use to scale the console/onscreen text. Both record to avi too. If u have the source to your own capture engine u can look at DP or I can offer u a code tut to add such a feature to THAT engine...

Couldn't get it to work properly. conwidth made the engine capture in the same resolution (glorious bug). I will revisit this some other time.

Played the map some time ago, definitely one of his better maps for me. Thanks!

The Shambler and the place where some music played were great touches!
The lighting is not bad, the video came out way too dark.
