Recording Demos

Jheridan

After playing a game as a Marine I was incredibly impressed by the commander's ability. I contacted him via AIM and wanted to get some demo's of him playing so I/others could learn from him. I wasn't entirely sure about the whole 'demo thing' so I checked it all out and it turns out that when I record demos it drops just about everything on the screen. To be frank, recording demos is now <i>useless</i>.

Does anyone know a way I can get a demo recorded WITH the interface without resorting to using something like Fraps to grab a bajillion frames? Also, what about voice chat? If that could be recorded also the game then then demo would be complete.

Right now it seems like fraps + 50gb hd space + audio recording program is about my best bet =(

Please, can anyone shed some light?

Are U sure yo're doing it right.
I have never had this problem.

the command is "record playername"
to stop "stop demo"

I use this all the time in games like dod to stop cheats or in games like Firearms to see how people use a certain weapon and I can honestly say I have never had that problem. It does make you lag os if you're gonna go it mak sure your spectating.

There are problems with demo recording in NS 1.0, especially in commander mode. Basically, most entitiy types will fluctuate, or not display at all during the recording process. There is a planned fix for this in NS 1.1.

I cant record demos in NS for some reason. It crashes to my desktop and makes me sad.

Oh well.


Bring down your console ingame and type :
Record Demoname

and to play you can either use a program called "geekplay" or type in console:
Play Demoname
