I see it in the index of the FAQ, but not in the FAQ itself.

if you're playing osp, add cg_autoaction 21 to your config (check the osp client readme in your quake3\osp\docs folder for more info). This will record a demo, with proper naming convention, automatically, for each match that you play.

Wrong, that will mean he will be playing with sync'd clients on, not pretty if you are playing online

do this:

/bind <recordkey> "g_synchronousclients 1;record;g_synchronousclients 0"

/bind <stopkey> "stoprecord"

this is what I use. one key starts and stops the recording. unlimited number of recordings, each saved with a sequencial name (demo001, demo002,...)

bind x "vstr rec"
set rec "vstr first_rec"
set first_rec "g_synchronousclients 1;wait;record;wait;g_synchronousclients 0;set rec vstr second_rec"
set second_rec "stoprecord; set rec vstr first_rec"

Or you can enable it automatically if you have OSP or something, don't remember how to do that exactly though. Look in the OSP manual.

It's /autorecord in OSP. IIRC it dosen't have the lag issues that VQ3 has with demo recording. :paranoid:

Guys, I only have the demo version of Q3 with me, when I use your commands, it shows that the demo is being recorded but when I select it from the demos, the demo doesnt show anything....do these commands work on the demo or not?

i'm afraid that you're the only person left on the planet with a demo version of Quake III: Arena by id. i suggest that you get yourself a job and once you acquire your first paycheck, celebrate by buying yourself a brand new copy of the full retail version of Quake III: Arena by id.

happy gaming.

yes that is correct. early versions were g_syncronousclients, and in one of the PR's (1.27?) they fixed the typo.
