GOKZ Replay Viewer by Ziks

We’re excited to announce that Ziks has created an amazing tool for the KZ Community - an ONLINE viewer for GOKZ replays! This means you can watch your favorite replays straight from your browser and most mobile phones!

Here’s a replay on kz_exps_cursedjourney:

More replays are available at:
https://metapyziks.github.io/GOKZReplayViewer

The tool parses map BSPs, extracts images and map format and recreates the map in webgl in the browser. Then the GOKZ demo data is used to move the camera throughout the map as the player. (If you get under 10 frames per second, make sure that hardware acceleration is turned on in your browser settings.) The repository is available at https://github.com/Metapyziks/GOKZReplayViewer.

Due to the nature of the replay files, KZTimer .rec files would not play as well, although the viewer does support KZTimer mode replays completed in the GOKZ plugin.

Ziks still has plans to add more functionality including things like: keypress display, speedometer, longjump distance and sync meter.

We are looking to get feedback on this amazing tool so that Ziks (and then members of the Global Team) can improve the tool. Since the tool is open source and MIT licensed, we expect that we’ll continue to add new features in the future.

Thank you Ziks for creating such an amazing feature for KZ!
