Recording&Replay of Missions

It would be nice to have a recorder + movie-player for missions.

On the recording side, this needs just the initial configuration
of the map/actors/equipment, and then a log of all commands,
and maybe the results of dice-rolls.

The viewer would be just like the tactical part of the game,
but with VCR- and camera-controls instead of the HUD.

This would also help with bug-reporting and testing,
because everything that leads to a bug is in the recording.
And the next release could be checked against such bug-movies...

Great idea! Would it be based more on Quake demos or Wesnoth replays?

Quite like Wesnoth replays.

But I haven't seen any Quake demos lately -
any links to some that are worth watching ?
