Macromedia Swf format is the most well-known format in web sites, Swf is using
by more than 5 million internet users. This program can convert whole log files
to Swf format. Viewing monitor log files is possible only for Linux users that
installed SSServer but Swf is cross-platform format and can be viewed in many
operating systems like Windows, Linux,
Macintosh and … Size of original log files is about 4MB and downloading log
files requires fast internet connections and made some problems for users with
slower connections. But size of created swf is less than 350KB so users with
slower internet connections can see played games easily and enjoy games.
Manager can put swf files in robocup official website and anyone with a web
browser can watch played games. Of course after creating the swf files you
don't need log files to watch the games. Program options made it possible for
providers to create desired swf files with flexible settings. Provider can
change size of players or ball or convert some parts of game or change speed of
playing.
The idea for this tool that converts 3D monitor log files to SWF files came to
mind from problems we have in current 3D log files such as having a large file
size, being hard to be understood, and the need to rcssmonitor_lite tool to be
viewed graphically. By converting these 3D log files to SWF files we can have
all features of SWF files like having a small file size, being cross platform,
etc. Macromedia flash players and its plug-ins for browsers cannot seek (i.e.
go back or forth) a movie. For more options of viewing swf files we recommend
that use Advanced Flash Player.
