Say I didn't want the fancy maxquality config, and I wanted to record exactly as my game plays. How would I go about doing that?

I tried planting my config and HUD into one of those folders but the results were only half-there.

Don't forget you can always record straight from TF2 itself.

try moving all of the config and hud .txt files to somewhere else, like a folder on your desktop, then move the config to the appropriate folder and move the hud to the "custom hud" folder.

open lawena and change hud to custom hud, then try.

#2 only if you know the proper command line

best way to learn is manually,

type startmovie <moviename> in console and to set the amount of fps you want you can type Host_framerate <#> i usually record at 1000 but thats me :]

What are you talking about? Manually isn't the "best way," it's only a preference. Without Lawena, it's one less step, but with Lawena you record at the press of a button with custom skyboxes, easy viewmodel and FOV options, etc.

Plus, it's not the just startmovie and host_framerate. You have to adjust timescale and tell the game what framerate and video output you wish you record.

I think the proper command line is "startmovie asdf 480 tga" or something. It's been years since I've done it manually, so I'm probably missing something.

edit: And recording at 1,000FPS is completely unnecessary. Shit, even recording at 480FPS is unnecessary, but with 480FPS you notice a difference in motion blur and slow motion than with 240FPS or below, whereas with 1000FPS, you barely notice a difference to the point where it doesn't matter and you're wasting HDD space.

Thanks for the input guys. I did what kirby said and the only problem is that crosshairs won't turn off. It seems this setting overrides your config. I remember it 'locking' viewmodels at one point, so I suppose it locks crosshairs too? I have disable crosshair checked off.
