Hey Devs, can we add a little demo recorder love to the list of Foundry enhancements?

I know it isn't foundry specific but we sure love it for promoting our work! Would love if you could help it out just a tiny bit with the custom NPC's not showing up!

Thanks!

    There already is a demo record feature.

    He recognizes that.....there is a bug where custom NPCs do not show up, and is asking if the devs could help out by fixing that asap so we can promote our foundry quests better.
    My quest was deleted in July of 2013. There were no issues, it had not violated any rules. Was deemed a bug. That quest is still missing.

    Also the Demo recorder does not work in the Foundry Preview. You have to publish a map. Sometimes you just want to build some hype for before you finish the quest. Currently you have to publish a map to take a demo of it, something we should not have to do...just like we should not have to publish an unfinished map to test certain features that you can not test in the Foundry Preview.

    ON my list are add NPC's to the Demo Recorder
    and give us a Live Server Environment to publish your content to, without having to flood the actual servers with "test" maps or risk a negative review on an unfinished project.

    The way that it was explained to STO authors: The guy in charge of this tool and its functionality is gone. There is maybe one person at Cryptic who knows how to fix it (or something).

    It has been borked for well over a year, with no indication that it is a priority to fix.

    There was a really big machinima project that was using demo record to make movies with STO. It had to stop production and is now dead in the water.

    Another podcast has to go through incredibly time-consuming work-arounds to make its show. Although devs, include NW's EP, will appear on that show, nobody seems to recognize that the lack of a fix makes the show incredibly difficult to produce.

    Yet, when a dev does appear on the show, Cryptic is very proud to announce that the show was made in the foundry.

    Getting this tool fixed has been a hopeless cause for many of us. I wish you guys luck.
