Hello Guys
I started recording some demos with the PLDX tool. But after a few seconds my SSD was out of space. Is there a way to change where the .tga files are saved(outside the tf folder).
I coundn’t find anything with google.
Thanks for your advices.
You can do it with startmovie but idk about pldx
dev wikiCould / should a note be added that states you can specify the .tga / .wav output of startmovie by enclosing the path in quotations, like startmovie “C:lol”, which would put lol0001.tga etc. on the root of C instead of the game folder? This means people rendering large passes to use a scratch drive. –Fail Medic 10:57, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

I think you need to create a new cfg for each tga sequence.
So create for example 1.cfg, 2.cfg etc
1.cfg contains:
startmovie "D:\asd\1"
2.cfg contains
startmovie "D:\asd\2"
then u need to edit pldx.cfg
ctrl+f “startmovie a1_” and change “startmovie a1_” to “exec 1.cfg”
then change “startmovie b2_” to “exec 2.cfg”
etc
i think it should work, havent tested it though, remember to move 1.cfg, 2.cfg into the cfg folder after you have started the game.

Not sure if pldx does anything with scripts, but I use these binds and they work:
bind "F1" "host_framerate 180; host_timescale 0.001; startmovie "f:/rec/movie01_""
bind "F2" "host_framerate 180; host_timescale 0.001; startmovie "f:/rec/movie02_""
bind "F3" "host_framerate 180; host_timescale 0.001; startmovie "f:/rec/movie03_""
(etc..)

That will only work if you don’t have spaces in your directories *i think*
Thanks for all the fast and helpful answers. I will try them!

If you’re on Vista or 7 you can also mount a folder from a different disk etc. Not sure how, but Gooooogles :>
