Trouble with Demos

Hey guys. We just recently switched boxes and lost the old config. When i want to record a demo to try and catch a wallhacker, it says g_synchronous lcients must be set to 1. so when i change it to 1, there is massive lag. I want to be bale to record demos so i can post them here for a ban and i cannot do that using a 3rd party program. So could soemone please tell me how to fix this problem. also, g_autodemo for rocmod 2.1c doesnt work. I have it set in the config but no luck. I want the auto demo in matchmode. Can anyone please help me with these prolems.

Much appreciated

Mike

you have lag because you didnt change g_synchronousclients to 0 after started recording the demo, you can try this:

I'm going to bind the key "j" to start recoding a demo and the key "k" to stop recoding the demo

bind j "g_synchronousclients 1; record; g_synchronousclients 0"

bind k "stoprecord"

as you can see the key "j" will change synchronousclients to 0 after start recording and you are not going to have lag.



and for match mode recording, you need to have on your cfg:

cg_autoDemo "1"



and the server needs to have:

g_autoMatchDemo "1"

and when the match start, the demo will start recording automatically

Here is a Demo script just copy and paste into notepad save as demo.cfg place in all your folders and in game type exec demo.cfg or you can manually set the keys yourself just reassign them in the config.

//demo script
bind F6 "vstr demo"
set demo "vstr start"
set start "g_synchronousClients 1; record; g_synchronousClients 0; set demo vstr stop"
set stop "stoprecord; set demo vstr start"

//slow motion
bind F3 "vstr slomo"
set slomo "vstr lospeed"
set lospeed "timescale 0.90; wait 10; timescale 0.70; wait 10; timescale 0.50; wait 10; timescale 0.40; set slomo vstr hispeed"
set hispeed "timescale 0.60; wait; timescale 0.80; wait; timescale 1; set slomo vstr lospeed"

//fast motion
bind F4 "vstr fast"
set fast "vstr 2x"
set 2x "timescale 2; set fast vstr 1x"
set 1x "timescale 1; set fast vstr 2x"

Awsome, I appreciate it guys.

i added the g_automatchdemo 1 cvar and it still doesnt record when i start the match. Any ideas why?

I cant find that cvar anywhere in any of my server or roc cfg's and know for a fact the auto match demo feature works on my servers. I'm gonna paste them here for you to look over...

Here's the server cfg.....

perhaps try my roc.cfg and see what happens?? Hope I helped!

cool. Thanks, ill look it over.

@ Mike
if you have FTP just add at the end of your roc.cfg

seta g_autoMatchDemo "1"




also make sure on your computer (not on the server) you have this:

seta cg_autoDemo "1"






@ Sandrock

do you have 1 more cfg on the server called sof2mp.cfg? because that cvar is not on my roc.cfg or in my server.cfg, that cvar is in my sof2mp.cfg
on some servers, that cvar is inside of roc.cfg

I'll bet ya caught me with my pants down...lol

Damn, as simple as putting it in my config. thanks a lot man. You dont kno how long ive been trying to figure this out. I tohught it was all on servers end. aprreciate it

Hey murderer, when i type i try to run the fastforward demo script, it says timescale is cheatprotected. Any idea why that is?

Use ReFrag to play back your demos clickme

thanks.. sweet program

Np, Remeber when you use that, ALWAYS restart sof2 before you join a server.
