.rec file 1005

Introduction

The new structure of rec files can hold the name of the player whose actions are recorded. It can also hold chats send by player, cmds, priv msg send by him. Also rec files hold pickup picked by player (id stored), checkpoints, objects touched and shot. Also client script data send by player's client script can be captured and replayed. Additionaly, once the player is put in recording, by death of him the recording does not interrupt. Rather the class selected by him after death to spawn will be recorded. So that npc when on replay, will die and spawn with the class the player selected.
