Yeah sorry I wrote wrong but addons/prec is actually in custom

not sure if that is the case but if your folder structure is /tf/custom/addons/prec then it wont work… you didnt make it clear to what ur actual folder structure is so im just guessing

What’s the first thing you do when something does not work? Trying to find documentation right?

There’s a readme.txt (Read Me) that you’re supposed to read, it says:

Note that the following directory structure is NOT correct:

tf/custom/models/my_model.mdl

How can it get any more clear than that?

2 things:

1. prec_delete_useless_demo 1

Does not delete my useless demos at all. I tried setting it as 0, still, useless demos are not deleted.

These are my prec settings in autoexec.cfg

bind mouse5 prec_mark
prec_delete_useless_demo 1
prec_mode 3
prec_dir recordings
prec_tag dat
prec_log 2

2. I have a request.

Demo files that reach more than ~50,000 frames break for me. If I try to skip to frame 40,000 for example, my TF2 just crashes.

I would love an option to re-record every x frames. For example, in my autoexec.cfg:

prec_rerecord 10000

Now prec will only record to 10,000 frames, stop, and start recording again. Thus, I will never or be less likely to have broken recordings.

Another possible option, is to restart recording upon round end. So instead of recording the entire map, it starts a new demo between every round.

prec_rerecord_mode
0 – disabled
1 – restart recording on round end/start (default)
2 – rerecord every x frames

The problem is that it isn’t deleting demos without killstreaks or bookmarks.

Thanks for the other tip though, I’ll try it.

What I usually do is stop > record lol or other name like that to fix the problem with the invis players. It wont delete the other part of the game since prec records with a very different name. And if it happens more than once I just add a number to the name ( eg. lol1 , lol2 , etc… )

PREC will record demo at the beginning of the match. then you force it to stop recording (command ‘stop’), the demo is finished. i’m not sure about this but i do believe that PREC won’t delete it when finishing the demo is forced. so you may play for 10 minutes, without any killstreaks, force demo to stop recording, that way you won’t have the demo deleted. BUT, if it still deletes the demo, just before forcing it to stop recording, press button bound to ‘prec_mark’, that way you will be ensured that PREC will leave the demo alone. then you will manually record another demo to fix invisible players bug and continue recording it for the rest of the match. that way you have 2 demos. the only problem is that the second one won’t record any killstreaks :)

Hello, I have skipped throught a couple of pages and have not found a reply to my question (from 60 to 63), when I try to open up my demos in the demoui or via console the console sends me a few lines (not exact but the bits that seem important are quoted):

playdemo Plays a demo.

unknown command: “demopauseafterinitiat”

Any help?

I think i had the same problem last year. Try to rename your demo and it should work fine.

I have tried and failed twice on an mge demo, I had renamed from the default prec assigned name to hahahahhahaha.dem and still no resolve. Any more ideas?
