Friend asked me to write this up for him so I might as well release it

It's pretty basic, all you do is press f12 (change if you need), it will ask you to write in a name for the demo and it will record. Press the key again and it will stop.

If you press f11, it will start recording on it's own (this is for times when you see a cheater and you need to get evidence asap), you press the key again to stop. You can do this 5 times in all and it will create hotm1 - hotm5 (heat of the moment is what hotm stands for). If you create 5 and press the key again, it will record over the demos one by one. Press f10 and it will put a menu where you can select which demo you want to watch.


To install, create a text file, rename it to demo.cfg and put this script in the file. Open up autoexec.cfg (create one if it doesn't exist) and type in "exec demo.cfg".


EDIT: I changed the script, if you press f11 and record 1 demo, leave the game and join another (or turn the comp off) and you press f11 the next day, it will start recording at the second demo. Before it would start over every time you joined a server. If you ever type "exec demo.cfg" in the console ingame it will reset the script and it will start recording from 1 (in reference to f11)

RE-EDIT: Added stopsound commands to prevent crashing

    So you press F12 and tpye the name in the console? Or in the public/private chat area?

    You press f12 and something like the chatscreen will come up but instead of "say:" it will say "record:" then you type in the name of the demo and press enter, it will then record. If you're going to use the script, I edited it to fix a large problem.

    Neat script. I have something along those lines for my demo recording, but with a lot less features. For named demos I just type "record" in console, so I just have your "hotm" feature. I never knew you could do the "messagemode record" thing... very cool. Is that just a specific feature or can that trick be used in other places? Also, the contimes thing is something handy that I didn't know about.

    messagemode can be used for everything under the sun. Well not quite, but any command that you can change the value on. Such as sensitivity, name, fov, etc...

    All I can say is I can laugh at that. How long have you had half-life?

    Well messagemode does one thing, ables you to change values that you have it set to like for an example you have a bind set to this.
    Bind X "messagemode name"

    Once you have done the bind and you press the key the word "name:" will appear at the top of the screen and then you type the name you want in there. But it can be limited to those commands that have alot after them. That should help you understand it.

    Messagemode has been in Half-Life since the beginning. It's a console command.

    Another note just by typing in messagemode that'll give you say and messagemode2 will give you say_team.
