freakinKanecoTomDoes anyone know if comp matches means all tournament matches or just matchmaking?

Edit: Based on my testing it is only matchmaking, so if you want automatic recording you still need prec.

This also doesnt take status screenshots, so for etf2l I would still recommend using prec. Maybe if there is some way in the etf2l/ugc/esea cfgs to make the game record.

edit: still, good on them for adding this and being responsive

It's likely that they don't focus on the minutia of rules for European games.

Im pretty sure he just didn't know what was the point of it or how it would be executed, etf2l seems to be the only league using this system. See my edited screenshot for his response. They will be adding both features probably.

you literally do not have to have read any league's rules once to understand the original explanation that was given in the email

"it screenshots the 'status' command in console to verify the ID of the players" is pretty self explanatory to anybody who has ever considered the concept of the console in source engine games

You can even have a set of binds like "ds_mark airshot" and "ds_mark med-drop" on your numpad cuz the bookmarker in Demo Support supports comments.

Just to clarify (coming from someone with experience organizing a league with medals...), it is not Valve's job to distribute the medals. They add them in-game and give the necessary information for the league to distribute it (which are some programming shenanigans that I have no knowledge about). So, gotta blame the league for not receiving it.

Better yet. Use these binds on the class configs. With the notation Class - Description, so you have the type of frag and you have the class you did it with as well.

would be pretty cool to see bookmarks be visually implemented into the demo system

having some tick values in a .json is better than scrubbing through i guess, but it couldn't be that hard to put in some little tick marks on the demoui based off the .json of a demo file.

yeah like a little red tick, or a button that says "go to bookmarks"

would have to be set like 500 ticks behind though automatically or else it would be a massive pain

Pretty cool! Though is there a way to rename specific demos you've recorded (maybe like bookmarks)? Even if that question already has been answered I would still like to know

If UGC continues to be ddosed it'll be a while before any medals are handed out (correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they needed website access to do it)

Ideal here would be to have the option to record tournament-mode matches that aren't matchmaking, but nothing else

flatlinehow does fixing that take 184 mbs

they're not very subtle here

edit: supposedly due to how many vpks are being updated BUT it is valve

Apparently there was a bug with the heavy hands materials where they could stop payloads because they had weird collision, so they remade the materials, but they did it in a different way to before so they all had the wrong file paths and wouldnt use the right textures.
So instead of fixing that by moving where the materials went they literally copy pasted all the textures again.
Good old valve.

The automatic mode, can either be set to matchmaking only, all games or off. You can manually record any games you like.

In the email kaneco linked earlier the support for mp_tournament 1 and status screenshots should be coming soon™
