Free camera


(GhosteyGhost) #1

So I’m wondering, if there’s anyway to somehow save replay and then access it with free camera option so you can move through map. I’m asking this cause I’m going to make an edit.

No demos.

You need to record with free cam as a spectator in real time. Nothing stopping you from recreating scenes in a private server with friends though.

It can be used to create logs for cheat detection

From what I have been told there is demo support, but it requires external software in order to view it (I’m not aware of what said software is or how it works). From memory, I believe there is a section on the wiki page regarding demos.

I have a feeling the commands on the wiki are outdated, but worth a try.

The demorec function does work, however it only works offline.
You can still record an online match, however you can’t play it back.

If you try and play an online demo recording you will be stuck on a loading screen forever and you will be forced to end the game’s process.

It would be nice if they fixed it up so it would work online, however due to the nature of the game having semi-regular updates its likely that any demos you record will stop working soon after due to file miss-matches between the demo recording and your game client.

EDIT: Not sure if it was obvious of not, but offline demos will also stop working as updates happen.

Alright, so if I understood correctly, I can play an offline match and record a demo. Then I’ll be able to play the demo and have acess to free camera and I can record my character etc.?

@Legend here’s some old info. Have not tried myself but I assume the console commands are still the same.

Yes, you could do exactly that.
