For default hud Options is on the bottom right of the main menu and it is a gear icon and Advanced Options is on the bottom right of the main menu to the right of Options with a gear + icon. • Timestamps: • 00:30 Enabling/Opening Console • 1:33 Recording a Demo • 3:00 Watching Demos • 6:09 Getting STV Demos from Faceit • 10:05 Auto Record Demos • 14:15 Loading Demo Files that are not in the TF folder • • • • • • Here is the tutorial in text form as well • First • Open up the games console by pressing the tilde key (the ~ line key) which is below the ESC Key and to the left of the 1 key on most keyboards • If it doesn't open up for you, you most likely don't have it setup, Ill quickly take you through those steps to enable console • • First your gonna want to open your Options, click Advanced, and Enable Developer Console • Click OK • this step is optional • In Options, under Keyboard scroll all the way down to the bottom and you should see Toggle developer console and it is defaulted to the tilde key, if it isn't bound to a key or is bound to a different key you can change it or bind to what ever key you prefer, press Apply • Now close out of Options by pressing the X in the top right of the box or the Cancel button in the bottom right • • Now press the tilde key and the console should open • • Second • Now that we have the console all set up to be opened and used now we want to join a server • for this I am just gonna be joining my own offline server but it will work the same way for any server you join • Once your in game open the console with tilde • To start a demo recording type in the console record demoname • this name can be anything you want • for this example I am going to use testdemo as the name of the demo • • Once you get that sick frag or are done recording just type stop into the console and the recording will stop • • Third • To watch the demo we just recorded open the demo and type playdemo demoname • replace demoname with the name you chose to name your demo • so for me I will type playdemo testdemo • as you can see what we just recorded is now playing and we now have the ability to record it with a third-party recorder to do editing to and upload to YouTube for example • while playing your demo, you may need to pause rewind or fast forward to do this open your console and type demoui or you can type demoui2, they both do the same thing just demoui2 is more simplified • • • Fourth • Now on to installing STV Demos from somewhere else, lets say faceit or from a RGL or UGC match you just played • First off you will need to get the demo file from where its being hosted, on Faceit when you finish a match you can find a button that says Watch Demo in the match lobby once the match has concluded or on your faceit profile by clicking on Matches scrolling down to the match you want to view, click on the match and go to Overview and there you will see the button to download the STV Demo • For RGL or UGC matches you will need to contact the server hoster where the STV Demo was uploaded or for the file outright • • now once you download the demo file you want to watch • for me it installed in a zip format so all I need to do is open the zip file and extract the demo file to my team fortress 2/tf folder • now go back into tf2 and open the console • and type playdemo and the name of the demo • with STV demos they give you freedom of your view as STVs are recorded as if you where a spectator of the match • • Fifth • TF2 has an option built into the game to Auto record demos for you • First you are going to want to open TF2 Advanced Options, note this is not the same Advanced Options we used to enable console, this is All the advanced options of the game • Scroll down till you find Demo Support • here you can customize when it records where it records and the such • for recording mode you get 4 choices • Manual, meaning you have to go to the console and start and stop each demo you want to record • Auto Record Competitive Matches, meaning it will auto record VALVE only Competitive matches • Auto Record All Matches, every game you play will start a demo • Auto Record Tournament Matches, meaning every THIRD PARTY Competitive game, such as Faceit, UGC, RGL will record a demo • these demos are auto recorded to a folder called demos to load on of these demos you can open the console and type • playdemo tf\\demos\\(name of demo)
