+>This document is the user's guide of The Little Movie Processing Centre
+(LMPC). LMPC is a utility to handle DOOM, DOOM ][, HERETIC, HEXEN and
+STRIFE LMP files. There is a rudimentary support for Duke Nukem 3D and Redneck
+Rampage DMO files. Quake DEM files, QuakeWorld QWD files, Quake II DM2 files
+(client recorded, server recorded, relay files), and Quake III Arena DM3 files
+are supported too. The DEM file cutter tool (DEMcut), The DEM Text File
+Analyser (DEMA), The Demo Broadcasting Server (DBS) and The DM2 file
+concatenator (DM2cat) are part of this package as well.</P

+>With LMPC you can get information about a LMP, DMO, DEM, QWD, DM2, or DM3
+file, change the version 
+and viewing player's number, add some wait tics at the end, remove the 
+pause tics, clear the ``Save Game'' tics in LMP files
+and (this is the main part) you can compile and 
+decompile a LMP, DMO, DEM, QWD, DM2, or DM3 from and to a LS file. LS stands
+for ``<SPAN
+CLASS="emphasis"
+><I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>L</I
+></SPAN
+>MP <SPAN
+CLASS="emphasis"
+><I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>S</I
+></SPAN
+>ource''.
+To reduce the amount of new abbreviations I call the ``DMO Source'' LS too.
+The language is similar and will be treated in the same way.
+The real LS language is documented at full
+length in the section <A
+HREF="#LMPSOURCE"
+>Section 7</A
+>.
+The ``DEM Source'' (see section <A
+HREF="#DEMSOURCE"
+>Section 8</A
+>) 
+and all the more the ``QWD Source'' (see section <A
+HREF="#QWDSOURCE"
+>Section 9</A
+>) is totally different but I call it LS anyway.
+The same holds for Quake II DM2 (see section <A
+HREF="#DM2SOURCE"
+>Section 10</A
+>) and
+Quake III Areana DM3 files.</P

+>Quake III Arena uses bit fields for all its game messages. A 
+server-to-client-message (or a block in a DM3 file) uses always full bytes. It
+follows, that some bits in the last byte are not used by the game. LMPC set
+these bits always to zero but Quake III Arena does not. Therefore it is
+impossible for LMPC to reproduce a totally identical DM3 file. The file from
+LMPC will behave the same as the original but some bits are zero.</P
+><P
+>The DM3 text parser is really a joke. I implemented it in about two hours.
+It cannot cope with non-ordered entries in any block. Thus be sure not to
+shuffle the entries! If this happens, the program will certainly crash or at

+parser to parse DM3 texts too but this would take at least a week of hard
+work.</P

+><P
+>DEMcut is the DEM file cutter tool. I don't know anything about movie cutting

+putting different DEM files together or using some special effects like 
+slow-motion or backward moving of particular scenes. </P
+><P
+>DEMcut does all this and much more in a very easy way: 
+It gets the names of all DEM files to be processed from the command
+line and reads from ``Standard In'' commands to manipulate them.
+During the manipulation DEMcut writes one or more DEM files. </P
+><P
+>A good knowledge of DEM files is required to use DEMcut. DEMcut doesn't do
+any checks to prevent you from creating non-working files.</P

+>4.2. Batch usage</A
+></H3
+><P
+>The easiest way to use DEMcut is with a cutting list batch file. This
+file should contain all commands to be processed and can even have some 
+comments why you did something like you did it. Use any text editor for this
+and start DEMcut with an input redirection.
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>demcut demfile1.dem demfile2.dem &lt; commands.txt</PRE
+>
+
+DEMcut starts, reads in all DEM files from the command line and reads the 
+commands from the command file. All messages (every command produces a 
+message after completion) from DEMcut go to the screen or may be redirected
+to a logging file as well.

+>4.3. Interactive usage</A
+></H3
+><P
+>One of the best feature of DEMcut is the possibility to do an interactive
+analysis of DEM files. The interactive mode is not compiled in on systems 
+without support for named pipes. It runs with Unix and Linux but not
+on MS-DOS, Win32 etc.</P
+><P
+>I will describe now the Linux use.
+First you have to create a named pipe in the directory where your Quake copy
+reads its DEM files from.
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>mkfifo fifo.dem</PRE
+>
+
+Now start Quake (make sure to use <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>xquake</TT
+> and and not
+<TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>xf86quake</TT
+>) in a window 
+as usual and playdemo this named pipe.
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>playdemo fifo</PRE
+>
+
+Quake tries now to read a demo out of <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>fifo.dem</TT
+> but there is nothing
+to read in: it stops.</P
+><P
+>Now comes the appearance of DEMcut. Open a new window and start DEMcut with the
+DEM file of your interest.
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>demcut mydem.dem</PRE
+>
+
+DEMcut reads in <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>mydem.dem</TT
+>, does some preprocessing and waits for 
+input. The first thing to do is to direct all output to the named pipe.
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>o fifo.dem</PRE
+>
+
+Now create the start of a normal DEM file with CD track and level 
+initialisation.
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>c -1\n
+r 0 2</PRE
+>
+
+It's unbelievable but Quake starts now the level and waits for further
+actions. Now play around with different ranges, speed tests or backward
+movements. Don't forget to put the disconnect frame at the end. Quake will
+usually play immediately what you intend but the Quake client time stands still
+after playing, so all the active sound patches will be repeated over and over
+and the Quake doesn't redraw its window.</P
+><P
+>This is the point where the ``interactive mode'' comes in:
+DEMcut changes its behaviour with the command
+
+<PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+>i 1</PRE
+>
+
+This repeats the last frame sent to Quake but with an ongoing time. 
+The interactive mode allows you to type in new commands during a range
+command.</P
+><P
+>Now you can fast forward wind and rewind to find out all the frame numbers of
+interest. In another window you can now edit your cutting list batch file 
+and run this file for cutting the final product.</P

+>Nowadays are so many fake clients out there but not a single fake server.
+A proxy is not a real server because it is a client for another server.
+So I decided to analyse the network protocol, learnt something about
+UDP programming and wrote my own server. I hope to include some parts of
+this server into DEMcut, a feature which lacks some GUI DEM file editors up to
+now.</P
+><P
+>DBS mimics the behaviour of a normal Quake server. This means you can
+check the server with your favourite spy tool. The next step is to log in.
+This works as usual (you get your private UDP port and so on) but DBS ignores
+all client movement packets and sends to the client only the converted DEM
+packets of a prepared DEM file.</P
+><P
+>A small problem are the <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>camera</TT
+> messages in the DEM packets.
+They come into the DEM file at the client side and not from
+the server over the network. Therefore I included in every packet an
+additional <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>setangle</TT
+> message with the current camera angles.</P
+><P
+>This means, that you can't get the original DEM file by client (or
+proxy) recording.</P
+><P
+>I hope to stabilise the server much more and think of a selection menu
+at the beginning where a client may select the DEM file (``channel'') of
+interest. I call it DoD (Demo on Demand).</P
