Demo show creator doesn't seem to work for them. The demo is protocol 48/PR 1.17. It's in my osp/demos folder. I'd changed my 1.32 to 1.17 with drwpr. I then typed \demo fatality-zero4-t4.dm_48 but nothing happens. Is there a way?

1.17 demos are .dm3 files. 1.27 demos are .dm_48 files. 1.29 demos are .dm_66 files. 1.31 demos are .dm_67 files.

Thanks menkent. Well, my DSC was playing up so I reinstalled it, switched it to 1.27 and the demo seems to play fine from cpma and osp. I watched it in osp in the end only because it uses my picmip 5 config.
ax ye, you're right, it's 1.27. The noo.. the person that posted it said it was 1.17. Isn't HammerSmashFace actually duhard?

Does Seismovision let you play old Q3Test demos? I have a small collection of those from 1.05 and 1.07. :icon32:
