recoding bugs

how exacly does the F3 recoding function work? it seems to me that itonly records camara and player movements.
because I notice that when you play a recording the play timer starts at the last place it stops, and i recoded 15 minutes of me editing terrain. when I played it back, then terrain was the same though out the whole video as it was when i finished editing. like i had a 15 minute recording of a sill camara!
is there a way to set upthe recording to capture the exact thing i see (like terrain editing) and all that?
also is there a way to record as an AVI? or MOV? that would be awesome!
please help me out

yeah, it's pretty messed up! you can switch to free camara mode (alt + c) and record all the camara movements and stuff like that.but i really want to know if anyone knows of a way i can capture me doing terrain/mission editing? i'd like to make some videos of that. I have a NEED!!!! :P

The recording function only records game specific stuff. It won't record anything you do in the mission and map editors.

I can't get it to play back anything, even if I go in a world and to pick up a gun. After it is recorded I select the file click play and Nothing must have gotten broken again

The engine doesn't have mov/avi export functions for the demo, but it's something that would be useful once projects start approaching that phase where a nice video demo of the game would be useful to those who don't have video capture tools.
Heh, although I will have to try recording a demo and then moving around the buildings (after recording has stopped) and save the level. Then, when I reload I wonder what will happen if the demo had the player run through some water where a large building now stands... My guess is it'll execute the recorded functions assuming you can walk by, making for a pretty funny looking video when it's running into a wall for a minute straight then turning around and jumping off a cliff.
