	~~If you run~~ a match server or a ~~server~~ with ~~countdown you have to use all~~ the time ~~'''/record'''~~... ~~It you load the plugin, you dont need that~~. ~~The plugin is recording automatically the match~~.		Recordmatch is a standard [[Plug-ins\|plug-in]] that is shipped with the [[BZFlag Source\|source code]]. It allows for match games, such as league matches, to be recorded onto the server to be replayed later. It will automatically record when a game (match) is started, and it will record with a filename given by the current date and time. Recordmatch is included in [[BZFlag 2.0.6\|v2.0.6]] and later releases.

	# ~~Add in your config option -loadplugin patch/~~to~~/recordmatch~~.~~dll or use /loadplugin patch/to/recordmatch~~.~~dll from in game.~~		==Usage==
	~~# Start~~ the ~~match (Use /countdown)~~		When the airspawn is loaded it can take an [[Plug-ins#Parameters\|optional parameter]] that represents the maximum height variance that will be applied to a spawn position. The default value is 10 [[world units]]. With the plugin loaded, the height above ground of tank spawns will be a random value between 0 and the maximum value. The usage is (for Windows and *Nix, respectively):
	~~# Just play~~ the ~~match~~. The ~~plugin~~ is ~~recording the match.~~

	~~In your config you must also put~~ the ~~following two commands:~~		-loadplugin "X:\path\to\the\plugin\recordmatch.dll"
			-loadplugin "/path/to/the/plugin/recordmatch.so"

	~~#-timemanual~~		or in an already running game (for Windows and *Nix, respectively):
	~~#-time <Number of seconds>~~

	~~The records are saved under e~~.~~g.: match-20080824-211216<br>~~		/loadplugin "X:\path\to\the\plugin\record.dll"
	~~The Match was saved at 24.08~~.~~2008 at 21:12:16~~		/loadplugin "/path/to/the/plugin/recordmatch.so"

	~~If you want~~ to ~~see~~ the ~~match~~ use ~~at your replay server~~ the ~~command /replay~~		Examples:

			-loadplugin "C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.8\recordmatch.dll"
			-loadplugin "/usr/local/bzflag2.0.8/plugins/recordmatch.so"

			The "-loadplugin" syntax is used in the [[sample conf\|server configuration]] file or at the command line when invoking a game [[BZFS\|server]].

			==History==
			The BZFS API was changed in the development of 2.0.6 to allow for recordings to be started. Recordmatch is the first plugin to use the newly-added capability.
