Hey guys, I'm trying to make a demo but i'm having some problems. I know in console you type record "demoname".dem. After that I thought I could figure it out but i'm lost. My questions... Where is the demo saved? How do you stop recording and how are you able to view the demo? Some people had posted demos in the past but it was in some strange format and I couldn't figure out how to open it. Any help that could get me on the right track would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can record your own game demo by bringing up the console and typing the command "record [demoname].dem" (without the []'s) to immediatly begin the recording process. When you are through recording what you want to be in your demo, you will type "stop" in the console to stop the demo recording. Now a [demoname].dem file is in your Steam's Counter-Strike directory.

To play a demo without the aid of a third party demoplayer such as SK Player you must launch Counter-Strike and use the console command "playdemo" or "viewdemo".

Command: playdemo

� Plays a demo
� example - playdemo my_first_demo


Command: viewdemo

� Plays a demo using the new viewdemo GUI
� Allows for fast-forwarding, rewinding, and pausing
� Speed up and Slow motion
� Warning: This method is still somewhat experimental and you may experience problems
� example - viewdemo my_first_demo


Google it first, its easier. You can also use the "demoui" command and load it from there.
