ok what exactly do i put into console to make my demo start recording after i put in the rcon password?what do i put to make it stop? and where do i go to access the demo through ftp?

You can read this tutorial on how to remotely control your HLTV to record.

You get the demos by going to the HLTV FTP, which is accessible through the information provided on the configuration page of the HLTV control panel. The info is just below the field.

does this mean its recording?

] rcon record
Syntax: record <filename>
Output format is "filename-date-map.de

does this mean it stopped?


] rcon stoprecording
Not recording

You have to put something after record, ie rcon record test, for it to start recording.

and how exactly do i locate the demo in ftp..like 1ce i get in ftp it has files like auth.cstrike etc what do i click to locate the demo?

Its going to be in the folder of the game mod you played under, such as cstrike if you recorded on a 1.6 server. Demos are zipped up within the hour.

ok after i find it in my cstrike folder then save it then open it what should i open it with?

You have to play the demo using your CS client, just like you would with a personal demo. If you have never done that before, you place the demo file into your cstrike folder and type playdemo demoname in the console. You can also use viewdemo demoname. To make things easier, you can rename the demo to a shorter and easier demoname.

] playdemo "HAM"
Playing demo from HAM.dem.
ERROR: couldn't open

y isnt it opening?

That would mean that the demo isn't in the cstrike directory or isn't named HAM.dem.

u mean the cstrike in FTP? if so it is in there and its name is HAM

You have to download it from the HLTV FTP and place it in your own local cstrike folder. It must be named just HAM.dem, nothing like HAM-etcetcetc.dem.

Ok mine is working but its putting it directly into my cstrike folder not on the ftp cstrike folder? Any idea what i have done wrong. Meaning its putting it in my home computers cstrike folder, not the servers hltv ftp folder.

Thanks

It sounds like you are accidentally recording locally rather than through your HLTV. We have full instructions on how to do it through the HLTV here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1387
