Little known fact about the DEMOREC command

[WebSlinger]

Here's an undocumented feature of the DEMOREC command. It also enables SUCKMODE for me and 1337MODE for everyone else in the game.

GrendelKeep: I made 3 mid-air combos off the shock rifle lift that resulted in nice frags (one resulted in a double-kill). I made another moving combo kill later as someone was going under the pulse-rifle staircase, and some cool LG/switch to rocket kills... so I'm thinking I'm "in tha ZONE!" Well, I drop to console and type DEMOREC which promptly enabled SUCKMODE... I should post the demo.. it's hilarious, just a bunch of NOTHING... I think I managed to kill the one newbie on the server while in demorec. The rest were a bunch of really nice headshots that I was on the receiving end of...

oh well...

Yep, that's what happens to me too, so I have a key bound to demorec and demostop so as soon as I start playing I start a demo and then my SUCKMODE eventually turns off and I get some good shots

Stupid suckmode.... I feel for ya Webby, that sucks, but I couldn't help laughing my ass off as I read that post.. Very funny stuff

Hey Thrawn, how do you set up a key to start and stop a Demorec?

 

[Thrawn70]

yeah, open your user.ini, scroll down to [Engine.Input] and find the key you want to bind... put demorec after the = and then for the demostop key, put that after another key's =. The demos will record as Demo001.dem, Demo002.dem, etc. You won't recieve any console notification that they're recording, but if you bind it properly, it'll work.

You get used to that in time. Had the same problem. Just rec every game you play for a bit, and don't think about what that bind you press does. You'll delete a lot of crap when you're for a while, but you'll get used to it, and have some quality in the long run.

back in UT1 when everyone was using that cool screengrab dump to make movies, I had it bound to a key.

while I was playing games online I could tap the key and it would put a huge load on my system, which would in effect slow everything down far enough for me to be able to pull off some really amazing stuff. I could hit combos you wouldn't even think possible, I posted a bunch of movies of them here a while ago, it worked great online, fire a shock ball, tap the dump key, combo the ball, tap the dump key again and go back to normal time.
