<div class="IPBDescription">Exactly how do you get them to work?</div> I have a demo recording script.
In order for this to work do i just put into a text word file, change the name to demo.cfg, and then go into a game and type;
exec demo.cfg
and then run the button to make it record?
No matter what game ive tried it for, i can never seem to make .cfg files so they work, can someone tell me how to get that part taken care of?

The post above is a example of the intelligence of the general human culture.
Wether it have been a joke or not, such comments don't bring about the end i am looking for.
Yes iam a jerk.
Now someone with knowledge of my problem, please answer.
Editing before someone flames me on my typing skills becuase i used the word intelligence in a deragotory manner.
If somthing is misspelled its either becuase i don't know the correct spelling, or iam still typing fast because dinner is on the table.
Thanks for your reply spyder monkey, if you do indeed reply.
I don't know what your demo recording script is doing, so I can't answer your "question".
I'm a bigger jerk, now do you want to rephrase your question so someone can help you instead of attacking people who are trying?
He wasn't trying to help.
Another edit because i obvisously don't want to seem smug...hmmm.
Read the bottom spyder.

.cfg files, how do you make them?
Why do you need a demo recording script? Are you just trying to record demos or what?
This is not helping, this is a obvious question already answered. Why would one, want help with the making of a demo script, if they were not going to make a demo?
If you aren't going to be more open to the help you're asking for, this topic is headed towards a lock...
When you wish to make a demo go in-game, bring up console and type 'record (name here)'
When you wish to end just type end/stop in the console.
When you wish to play a demo, bring up the console and type 'play (name here)'

Hope this helped (guess not)
Yes. Rename a text file to name.cfg
Place it in the NS directory.
"exec name.cfg" should execute this script.
That's as far as I can get, becuase I *still* have no idea what your "demo recording script" is trying to accomplish.
You can delete the thread now.
Presuming your script actually functions, the "exec <config name>" command will work wonders.
But then again, why would you want a script? I may have the technical compentency of a dead slug when it comes to executing a working system, but I've always found the "record", "stop", and "playdemo" commands good enough for my demo needs.
I can't see how any script could simplify that.
Its just somthing that i found, but i have never been able to make.cfg's corretly. Or they never work for me.
We'll see if this will finally work.
BTW, you can delete the thread now.
Or can i do that? Hmm, i don't think so.
0mG keep that dressing away from me!!
Here is my help for you sir.
If you just want to record a demo without using the script (Come on, it takes like 3 seconds to do ingame) do the following
To start recording, bring down console and type: record filename.dem
To stop the demo, bring down console and type: stop
To playback demos, bring down console and type: playdemo filename.dem
Obviously you change filename to whatever it is you want.
Now, if your still hung up on this recording script there are 2 ways to go about it.
If it's just a simple cfg script to execute a certain set of commands, bring down the console and type: exec filename.cfg
The script shall run automatically and bobs your uncle, your demos done.
However, if your script executes hotkey and alias bindings I would recommend you put the following line in the autoexec.cfg. Just open it up in notepad and type: exec filename.cfg
Lastly if you want to do things the old fashioned way you can bind some keys without doing flashy alias scripting like so
bind F1 "record pie.dem"
bind F2 "stop"
The " " MUST be there otherwise HL won't recognise the bind, you can't change the name of the demo either, so you gotta live with that as well.
Only propblem with this system, you can easily overwrite previous recorded demos by pressing the F1 key again.
For an example demo I recorded earlier (And obvious bump) click <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=18907' target='_blank'>HERE FOR CC EATING GOODNESS!</a>
Hope that helps you out a bit.
