I was sitting in #zdoom with nothing to do, and BahdKo suggested to write a program to convert the output of LMPC (a demo-processing tool) into a chart. So I wrote it.

Here's a chart for the e1m1-009.lmp:

http://brainfuck.sf.net/e1m1.png

Time on the horizontal axis, velocity on the vertical. Forward/backward movement is shown as blue lines; strafing as red lines; turning as green lines. For strafing and turning, above the middle line is to the left, below - to the right.

Can this be useful for anything? Dunno. It looks funny. Maybe if you stare at it long enough, you become a pro :)

A few more pics, all of them from compet-n demos:

http://brainfuck.sf.net/t1m1.png - t1m1-049
http://brainfuck.sf.net/e1m2.png - e1m2-138 - note the uneven blue lines on the last two, presumably caused by vertical mouse sensitivity.

This seems like a pretty cool way to further analyze the differences between playing styles.

Heh, cool thing. Now make a program that can convert .lmp files to .mpg in Windows.

Stop talking about your movie things already, and worship me instead.

Updated: pink stripes now show weapon fire.

Also, look at http://brainfuck.sourceforge.net/t2m8.png - the famous 28-minute demo. Be warned, the browser might protest and not show it properly, it's too fucking big.

Well this would be usefull or intresting if you had a comparison between different speedrunner lmps in the same map so we could compare how each players style of play. Maybe include the time at the bottom so we can see what move he/she made at a particular time.
