Demo Question


(Dingo) #1

Greetings

Whilst recording a demo in ET the “Demo info text” i.e. Size of demo file counter, overwrites the message text at the bottom of my screen making it near impossible to read what team members are typing/saying.

Is there a way to turn off/minimize the “Demo info text”?

Additionally, I know there is a configurable key to start the demo now, what are the console commands?
(i.e. same as RTCW:
\g_syncronousclients 1
\record xxxx
\g_syncronousclients 0
\stoprecord)?

Cheers [NS]Dingo

Don’t think there’s a command for it I hope they fix this with a patch.

And while they’re at it, how about making all characters more visible on the white/yellow backgrounds (5 out of 6 maps), cuz half the time you can’t read what it says, I actually had to tweak my graphics darker to be able to read the important stuff. I missed spawn alot this way cause I couldn’t see timer, or I didn’t know where the hell they planted the dyno etc.

  1. Nothing you can do, I also hope they fix it in a patch.

  2. g_syncronousclients command no longer required, just record to start and stoprecord to stop, or use autorecord to have the demo automatically start at the beginning of a round and stop at the end.

F12 is autorecord by default just using record makes the overlap smaller, but then its not labeled up and wont stop and start with autoaction when it starts that is.

I wanted to demo every game, but this problem has put me off because I can’t read whats going on.
