Hello guys! So, since SteamPipe broke Lawena, official fix doesnt seem to be coming, and many people are complaining that even after the suggested fix they are still having issues, I have decided to make my own recording tool. It is still an alpha version, meaning there probably will be some bugs, but it is made for SteamPipe, unlike Lawena, meaning its no longer a matter of luck whether it works or not.

It doesnt have as many features as Lawena yet, but it should be just a matter of a couple of days until I add the features Lawena has. As of now, the features include:
- Custom resolution & framerate
- Changeable HUD (3 Lawena HUDs available + custom)
- Changeable Viewmodel FOV
- Options for enabling/disabling motion blur, steam cloud, crosshair, crosshair switching, damage numbers, hit sound, viewmodels and voice chat
- Custom recording folder
Like I said, I am adding features as fast as I can, I just wanted to get something out to the public, so people who are having issues with Lawena have at least something to use now. And if everything goes well and all features that Lawena has are working, I will start making new ones (also I will probably do proper design, consider this one a placeholder, I know it looks ugly).
Update log:
[14.5.2013] v0.4:
- Added option for disabling voice chat
- Added option for forcing viewmodels on/off
- Added option for changing viewmodel FOV in demos
- Now automatically launches TF2 with DirectX 9.8
[15.5.2013]
- Fixed a bug with framerate
- Temporarily removed DirectX changing, as it messes up the settings as was reported, I will have to look into DirectX more in-depth and then I will re-add the feature in the future when its ready and bugless, sorry for the inconvenience
[17.5.2013] v0.49:
- Fixed a bug that caused settings getting reverted to default or getting messed up
- Fixed and re-added DirectX changing, now with an option for either 8.0/8.1/9.5/9.8
- Added an option for disabling crosshair on sniper while scoped in
[19.5.2013] v0.5:
- Changed status to beta
- Added option to save settings, they are auto-loaded upon every launch
- Changed framerate option to edit field, allowing for any framerate values
- Added option to disable multicore rendering
- Added option to disable sniper's laser dot
- Re-arranged buttons a little
[24.5.2013] v0.6:
- Changed configs from Lawena's to PLDX (follow in-game instructions)
--- Includes PLDX features, like thirdperson camera binds etc.
--- Now has an option to record in h264 (instead of PLDXs avi)
- Added an option for disabling Übercharge screen overlay
- Added particles from PLDX (with an option to turn them on/off)
- Added custom skyboxes
--- To preview, check skybox_previews folder, I will remake this to be more convenient in the future
--- Note: they don't work with some custom maps that use their own skybox
--- Note 2: these skyboxes are the reason why the archive is suddenly 26 MB instead of <1M
How to use:
Follow the instructions in the software, and in-game use the same controls as in Lawena. (I will write a proper guide on how to use this later)
IMPORTANT! As this is beta, I recommend backing up your “custom” folder. It hasnt happened yet, and it is unlikely to happen, that user config gets deleted, but it is alpha, so anything can happen.
When reporting bugs, please paste the text log as well, thank you.
I did a test. Thats what I made using Almie's tool

If this recording tool takes off, I would love to see the option to use custom particle effects. Specifically PLDX particles. IIRC they are imported in the same way skyboxes are so it shouldn't be hard to implement a feature like that.
Also, VDM tool was really nice in lawena.

You think you can make it have two custom HUD options? Like Custom1 and Custom2?
Anyway, I fucking love you, I am going to keep track of this :3

If any tool now a days could replicate what pldx did, i would be the happiest man ever.

Custom skyboxes are next on the list, as for particles, I do want to implement them, but I haven't looked into them yet, so i don't want to promise it, but I will definitely try, and the VDM tool in lawena didn't even work for me but I am gonna look into what it does and how could I do it, not sure about it so far.

Try killing the hl2.exe process and starting tf2 again, if that doesn't work, restart the computer, if it still doesn't work, it might be caused by closing the tool while tf2 is running through it, if you have done so, then i am afraid you may have screwed something up in the files, you should never do that.

- Applying settings...
- Backing up config...
ERROR (while backing up custom): 118
I'm probably just very stupid and put it in the wrong place, anyone know how to fix this?
edit: fixed it by putting it in the same folder as lawena, dunno how that worked but it did

Yeah, I don't really know how srcdemo works and i haven't ever used it, so i don't know how to integrate it, and I will add it to the list of things i will look into, but at the bottom I am afraid, as there are more important things that I need to do first.

Hello everyone, it is me, the creator of this tool.
Error 2 means file not found - it couldnt find your "custom" folder to back up. Make sure it exists. There is a chance this is caused also by another problem in the code which should be fixed in the next version, which is going to be out soon. Weird thing is, it only happens to some people.
Error 32 means the file is being used by another program - make sure your TF2 is closed and that you dont have something from the tf2 folder open like, editing configs etc.
New version out soon, stay tuned!

Now what concerns me is that many people have reported bugs to me, but the bugs are always different, and its always only the single person, that has the bug, and I dont have any of those :( Now I am not saying these bugs arent my fault (even though sometimes they really arent), what I am saying is that they are hard to fix, if I cant even replicate them on my computer, so bear with me please. Anyway, for those who dont have any bugs, enjoy the new version!

I don't want to blame you, but I think this program just deleted my entire custom folder so now I had to completely re-do it!

So how does this tool compare to Demo Buddy?

While Demo Buddy sorts your demos nicely, it doesnt have custom skyboxes and particles or other minor options like the ability to remove the ubercharge overlay or the sniper laser dot. Of course the guy might add these in the future, just like I can add demo management in the future ;)
