I would like to parse the packets of mvd-files using Java. I have little knowledge about how mvds are structured but figured some of u guys could prolly do this in half an hour or 10 Atm im not tempted to dig into the server-src

anyways what im looking for is a method that reads a packet from the mvd and puts the contained information into a suitable datastructure.

will java handle a constant flow of packets and parse them efficiently ?

Shouldnt cause problems.
I hope

any updates?

There is no mvd format specs AFAIK, get sources of server which support mvd recording( mvdsv, fte ) and sources of clients ( ezquake, fte ) and try to understand how parsing is working :>

Necrophiliac bump.
Have there been changes in the past 2 years? Any way for stupid people like me to get some human readable information from mvd?
I'd like to try make something like http://www.steampowered.com/status/tf2/death_maps/ctf_2fort_deaths.jpg , ie extract xy location of deaths during a game.
