iortcw 1.42 or 1.42a avidemo

by **Tuomas** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:26 am

It seems that avidemo isnt working on 1.42 or 1.42a when it should. Is there any solution for this? I wanna record some trickjumping demos and avidemo them! :p

Record your demo normally.

Then, playback your demo and use the /video <output name> to convert to AVI. (avi is uncompressed, so files get large)
Also you need to use base sound to record the AVI.

eg.
/set s_useopenal 0
/snd_restart
/demo <demoname>; video <aviname>;

Output files will be in the 'videos' folder

Hope this helps

Thank you!

Thanks...that's something I meant to go back and look at when I was swapping out the demo recording functions and totally forgot about it.

I've reimplemented the old cl_avidemo command (screenshot method) in case someone actually prefers that method for creating videos (but obviously still will not have sound). It will be available again in the next release.

Okay, thanks! I have another problem too. When I record the demo to video then the fps is max 18 and the demo playback is quite choppy for a video. Is there any way I could change the fps? I changed cl_aviframerate to 60, its 60 fps file but the ingame fps is still hanging at 18.

The output video is choppy? Or is it just choppy when converting to avi?

I got it solved. sv_fps was "20". I set it to 60 so the demo wasnt choppy anymore.

But, sorry for bothering :D. The game crashes in between map changes. Start RTCW -> spdevmap <some map> then again spdevmap <some map> -> crash. This happens only on the 1.42 version.

1.42 is the older version..there's no reason to use it anymore. It was replaced by 1.42a which is the newer version which fixed several issues.

Im using 1.42a

What platform? I'm not seeing any issue here...do you have a crashlog.txt you can paste here?

by **Tuomas** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 1:54 pm

Win7 64 bit. It happens when I write /pmove_fixed 1 in console, then I spdevmap <some map> to change the map. And when I click the yellow arrow to move to the level, boom. Crashed, no errors, nothing.

Good catch...very strange one but good.

There was a mistake in the code as released by id, so it wasn't specific to iortcw...It's probably always been broken.
Anyway...It's fixed now.

Fix will be in next release
