| 11 <div class="content"> | |
| 12 <p>TTYREC files are recordings of text-based sessions, much like screencasts are recordings of graphical sessions. The Roguelike Gallery and other roguelike | |
| 13 sites create ttyrec recordings of games played online, so that others can watch them. The <a href="/archive.cgi">Archiver</a> will search rlgallery.org's | |
| 14 ttyrecs for you.</p> | |
| 15 <p>As you might expect, ttyrecs are not video files that can be played in video players. They contain mostly text, and you will need a ttyrec player to | |
| 16 watch them.</p> | |
| 17 <p><a href="http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/">The original ttyrec program</a> comes with ttyplay.</p> | |
| 18 <p><a href="http://angband.pl/termrec.html">Termrec</a> includes termplay, which is easy to use and works on Windows.</p> | |
| 19 <p><a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/ipbt/">IPBT</a> is a newer player that allows you to rewind while playing.</p> | |
| 20 <p>A ttyrec produced on one kind of terminal will not play properly on a different kind of terminal. Most modern terminals are similar and should produce | |
| 21 compatible ttyrecs, but you might come across a file that won't work.</p> | |
| 22 <p>Replaying also might not work properly if your terminal is a different size from the one that produced the ttyrec. If things are getting drawn in the | |
| 23 wrong places, try making your terminal bigger. Unfortunately, ttyrecs don't tell you what the proper size is.</p> | |
| 24 <p>(But it can sometimes be deduced, if you don't mind poking around with a hex editor. Check near the beginning for the sequence | |
| 25 <span class="metavar"><escape></span>[1;<span class="metavar"><number of rows></span>r )</p> | |
| 26 <p>Note: if you are using ipbt, you must also tell ipbt what size terminal to use. Check ipbt's documentation.</p> | |
