So everyone hates how Valve again broke demos.
This time they renamed some entities and that screwed everything up. This plugin will restore the old names.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?l54ex5tzv017037

Put the TF2DemoFix.dll in your Team Fortress 2/tf/addons folder.
In your console write plugin_load addons/TF2DemoFix.dll
It’ll say something about insecure mode, you’ll have to restart tf2 when you’re done with the old demos. If it refuses to load due to missing signature add -insecure to your launch params (don’t forget to remove after you’re done with the demos).

Source code is included.

Q: I get an error message when I load it!
A: Post error message.

Q: It crashes!
A: Uhm idk.

Q: Ingame voice doesn’t work!
A: sv_use_steam_voice 0

Q: Doesn’t work with my demo!
A: Paste console log after you try to play the demo.

Q: I don’t get any console log!
A: con_filter_enable 0

Q: This is a DLL file, I don’t trust you!
A: Don’t use it.

It works! Great job, pal.

Nice work. Thanks.

Maybe one thing should know – this probably won’t work with the pldx tool since that has different launch options entirely so if you want to record/capture with the plugin then you might need a movie HUD such as;

edit:

Ignore that, put con_filter_enable 0 in the console and then it should work with the PLDX tool. You don’t need to put -insecure in your launch options btw so ignore what I said above this.

Strange, this appears on the console for me

“No valid signature found for c:programassteamsteamappsvaskituhmaiateam fortress 2tfaddonsTF2DemoFix.dll
Unable to load plugin “addons/TF2DemoFix.dll””

and it won’t load any demo.

Try restarting TF2 and loading it as the very first thing you do.

If that doesn’t work add -insecure to the launch params of tf2. (don’t forget to remove when you want to play on servers again).

my Problem is:
My old Demos are working but the ones i Downloaded from other people wont work in PLDX.

vøid

dont forget -insecure to load unsigned plugins
( but you cant connect to a lot of servers i guess so just remove -insecure)

I have -insecure in my Launch Options and it works cuz I cant join Servers on TF2 and in TF2 itself all old Demos are working but in PLDX just my old demos are working and the ones I Downloaded from other people are not working.
I know really strange ^^

Like I said in Tf2 everything works and in PLDX I get the error which showed up before this Fix when trying to play an old Demo:

Are you sure the plugin loaded correctly when using pldx?
Because the error you get should really be fixed by the plugin :/

And sometimes the Demo timer shows 00:00-00:00 if i try to load it.

To me it seems like PLDX doens’t accept this Plugin but TF2 does.
