Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a Battlefield Vietnam fork of Skandia's bfstats BattleView replay system for BF1942. It should be clear that this is a WORK IN PROGRESS and is NOT YET FINISHED. Some bugs need to be fixed, and features still need to be added. The goal of this project is to bring the most accurate match replay system to both BF1942 and BfVietnam, an almost 1:1 recording of the game. I'm currently working on the BfVietnam version. There is no ETA. It will be public when the project is complete and testing is done.
How it works:
With this web tool, server admins will be able to play back every event that the server executes. The server records everything into a file while the match is playing, so even if the server crashes or has an error, the match can still be recovered. At any time, the server admins can stop the recording (or wait until the match ends), and upload the file online for people to watch the replay. The server records things like:
- Every soldier and vehicle movement tracked at 30hz
- Direction the soldier is facing and what kit/item they are using
- All game chat
- Radio commands that are being used
- Game events like capturing flags
etc.
What are the use cases?
The ability to be able to replay a match will be useful for server admins and content creators alike
- Server admins can replay matches to see if someone is cheating (tracking someone through fog, causing a disturbance in game like blocking a jet from taking off, etc.)
- Content creators can go through the match again and save a clip of an event they are trying to record but were unable to catch it in-game
- Anyone who wants to just see the results of the match
Please again keep in mind this is a work in progress, there are bugs, and it's unfinished. I'm currently working on things like the overgrowth/undergrowth, the water shaders, and shadows. These will be present in the next YT video if I release it.
The first publicly released replay test video can be watched on YouTube through the link below.

Huge thanks to Skandia for the original project and implementation, and thanks to AI for speeding up development.
If you have questions, feel free to ask.
