2 ways. In console when you open up NS type in:
playdemo <demo name>.dem

or

viewdemo <demo name>.dem

So if your demo is called combat.

playdemo combat.dem or viewdemo combat.dem

It also helps to rename them to something easy to remember, like 1 or 2.

To play it, open NS, press ` ( for console) and type in :

playdemo <what you named it>

or viewdemo <what you named it>

Viewdemo allows you to pause and rewind and such, but it messes up more things than playdemo, nothing gamebreaking though.

Also, you can only watch demos of the same version you run. So you can't run 1.04 demos with your 3.0beta 3 build.

MrMojo · April 2004

Oh, and it helps not to do this right after you played or playing right after, because that often messes up things.

Though there is no harm in putting it there, the file extension (.dem) is not necessary.

How would you pause and rewind it in this mode? Are there any other things you can do?

I think F2 toggles the viewdemo controls.

In steam at least the menu pops up on its own and you press any key ( to open the background) and you can do tons of things there.

gg also opens a demo, and disconnects you from any server you're running, but I think gg does it at an increased speed, or something wonky.

There's a sven coop server I admin with a great number of plugins (Ninja rope, hook, etc.) and often n00bs ask the commands. Sure, there'a amx_showrules, but sometimes I let the regulars say "To get the blue rope, just type gg rope"..

Ahh.. I know it's mean, but it's funny..

Very nice recording, Lagger. I do pretty much what you do exacept I think I need to umbra more. Also, my flying isn't as good as yours. I need to know how you can keep track of your targets that well though. Sometimes after I fly in and get the first bite I can't immediately go for the second because I lose site of the marine, and during that time I get hurt.
