It sounds like a great and original idea but once you start playing it out in your head some things don't add up. Like Kadaver Jack said, you can not really use a demo for this because at some point the opponent is fragged and respawns... how would this work if you fragged him earlier then the demo'd player ?

One way to get around this that I thought of is to maybe not depend the mod on number of frags but rather base it on time. You could try beating the demo'd player to the frag. Not being able to make the frag before the demo'd player did will result in penalty points and beating the demo'd player to the frag will add points to your score [the earlier the frag, the better the score]. Time will be reset every time one of the players in the original demo is fragged. Maybe this would need to involve custom demos, like a campaign mode.

I'm sure I am overlooking something here so that this is impossible to accomplish but since we're brainstorming here :)

fragging some one earleyer then the demo player isnt a big problem i thought becasue the demo is still running and he will respawn like it is sepose to be as in the demo , only you altered things in realttime

i hope all understand , that you cant move the player origin only the way where he is looking and shooting

it doesnt mather how you splatter you target or where his head will drop , becasue that is real time , demo is still running in the background , the player that you shot will respawn , when the demo says so

targeted opponent could change color/flash to register a hit.

of course it's possible, but are you willing to code that? ;)
