demo playback problem
« on: August 20, 2010, 11:26:03 am »
Stumped by a demo problem, which a cursory forum search and google didn't solve. Here's what I do:

• "/devmap atcs" to get a map running.
• "/record" starts the demo going ok, I get some output telling me its recording to demos/0000.dm_70.
• "/stoprecord" confirms it stops.
• then I type "/demo 0000" and it says it can't find the file and refuses to play it.

I've tried "/demo 0000.dm_70" and had a snoop around with "/path" to no avail. I can't seem to find it on my filesystem either (I'm assuming it would put them in the base folder), so I assume the game is lying to me when it tells me its recording a demo. Anyone else had similar problems or could help shed some light on this?

Running Mac OS 10.6.4.


Update - similar problems with no being able to find screenshots. Guess my question is "Where does the mac version of tremulous put its screenshots and demos?"

The location should be <fs_homepath>/<fs_game>/demos (or /screenshots). You can also try /record <filename>.

Solved using mdfind: ~/Library/Application Support/Tremulous/base/ is the usual directory for game data, and where i was looking (~/.tremulous@ is a link to this folder). They were actually in ~/Library/Application Support/Tremulous/gpp/[demos/screenshots] .

The game was already searching this folder, it just couldn't find them because I used the wrong filename (doh...). I used "/demo 0000" rather than "/demo demo0000"

Thanks for the help, turns out the problem was just good old human error. :P
