RECORDING DEMOS

[<)S4T4N(>]

recording a demo is atcually pretty easy, once you got the right keys bound.

here is a small set of commands yoiu can copy to a notepad and save as, ooo I DK DEMO.CFG

bind F10 "g_synchronousclients 1; wait; record; wait; g_synchronousclients 0"

bind F11 "stoprecord"

thats it, exec that cfg (that u saved as demo.cfg in baseq3 folder.

to use,
press F10. - now your recording.
to stop hit F11. now it stops.

try not to record more than 1 game at a time as it gets pretty hard to try to convert to a real meadia file later

I stop recording every time i die if im dying occasinaly and every few frags if im not

Not sure if this happened to anyone else, but using g_synch 1 while recording makes the gameplay a little choppy.. So you can set it back to g_synch 0 and it will still keep recording but it makes it easier to play..

Just a tip..

I forgot to say WAIT in between commands in the start line of the script. - i edited it above to read:
bind F10 "g_synchronousclients 1; wait; record; wait; g_synchronousclients 0"

bind F11 "stoprecord"

f10 to start,
f11 to stop


sorry for the typo

[Yannick]

i use these

/bind o g_synchronousclients 1
/bind u record tryingatrick
/bind i stoprecord

[blockpile]

In OSP you can use:

/autorecord

Will begin recording and automatically date, name and timestamp the demo. To finish recording, /stoprecord as usual.

cpma has the same thing but u can set it in the gui menu.
auto action..can take a screen shot and demo record automatically

[Yuri]

I use this

set rec1 "stoprecord; g_synchronousclients 1; record; g_synchronousclients 0"
bind j vstr rec1
bind f12 stoprecord
echo "^2J ^1To ^4Stop/Start ^7- ^2F12 ^1To ^4Stop


It even tells u how to work it ( i always make it tell me how to work it or i would never work anything out, i have about 30 echos in my cfg )
J starts recording a new demo so u dont need to hit 2 buttons and f12 to finish
all it does i think is prove how fuckin lazy i am

thanks blockpile, and LOOL Yuri echo; vstr mouse1 frag Osirus; wait, frag Osirus

[Yuri]

Now youve said that, i feel like making a "osiris Blows" talk cycle ;D

[Yannick]

Hmm I got another tip prehaps n ot all of you know but what I have been using since I started recording is

/Bind e record tryingatrick
/bind r stoprecord

In this way you wont get any spam like demo 001 demo 002 Untill you finaly landed or made a good demo, you just rename the demo when it is like you want it.

I by the way never knew about that command in the first sentance of this topic until 1 week ago, lol.
