Fast-forwarding Demo's

I don't know for sure, but I remember there were cmd's to fastforward (and backwards, pause/slomo maybe?) .dm2's in quake2 itself. Bit tedious to install keygrip on this crappy machine, and watching a whole demo for just 4 seconds of action somewhere in the middle isn't everything either. Maybe someone even made a demo-watching .cfg, with buttons corresponding to the winamp binds...
Ok cheers.

Timescale. Default is 1, 2 is twice the speed and so on... no way to go backwards in a demo in vanilla Q2 afaik..

So something like this.
Code: Select all
//(in your normal.cfg)
alias demo! "exex dpb.cfg"; echo executing demo playback config, several buttons rebound"
//demo playback (dpb.cfg)
alias ts1 "set timescale 1; echo playback at normal speed"
alias ts2 "set timescale 2; echo playback at 2x normal speed"
alias ts3 "set timescale 4; echo playback at 4x normal speed"
alias ts-s1 "set timescale 0.5; echo slow-motion playback at 1/2x normal speed"
alias ts-s2 "set timescale 0.25; echo slow-motion playback at 1/4x normal speed"
bind c "ts1"
bind v "ts2"
bind b "ts3"
bind x "ts-s1"
bind z "ts-s2"
??

Well I still can't 'see' the movement in yesterdays reflex snipe shot at Slayer, I tried 0.5 first, then 0.1 and 0.05, don't know if I could still see a difference between those last two values, I will experiment some more.

Try watching demos with q2pro because cl_demotimescale 0-n works niiice with fov filter cl_demolocalfov "0"
