I've posted something like this before but I'm sure there are new folks here now that do not know this.

Every once in a while you see someone in game that you would like to record but you don't know how. In an effort to show you I will try to take this step by step. If I screw up someone let me know please.

Now you want to make a demo and this is the starting point.

1: in console type record and then whatever name you want to call it
ie: record blueruler note space between record and blue

2: to stop recording simply type stop in console

hint do not make demo to long. It is of utmost importance that you do type stop in console after your finished since I believe that your demo will be corrupted if you do not.

You have recorded the demo and stopped it. Record another one so you have backup just in case. Call it something else ie: blueruler2

Ok now you have the demo recorded, now you have to find it.

3: go into your desktop or whatever and open My Computer and into drive [C:]

4: open sierra folder

5: open half-life folder

6: depending on the game you were playing open that folder ie: tfc, dod or ns

7: look for your demo

8: right click on demo and unzip it, I use winrar its much easier than winzip at least I think so.

9: Ok now its unzipped so go back to your desktop and click on your tfc, dod, ns desktop icon

10: when it opens the top option should be console, click on it and type in console the playdemo blueruler, playdemo is one word and space between demo and blue

11: there will be a slight delay and the demo will play for you or at least it should.

Good-Luck [/u]

#9 only applies if you download the demo to view someone elses and they have zipped it.

You normally can't record a demo twice, seeing as how what you record normally only happens once.

Unzip a demo?? The file extension of a HL demo is .dem. It's not .zip/.rar/anything else. It's already unzipped.

Yes, you do have to go into your console and type "playdemo "demoname".dem, minus the quotes. You can also type viewdemo instead of playdemo if you want to have play, rewind, etc. options. The only time you shouldn't have to go into the console to play a demo, is if you or someone else has compressed it into an .avi. In which case, it is no longer a demo.
