I understand that demoviewer just recently came out, I still just wanted to post this here.
Download.
This is a very simple, small program I made that allows you to right click a .dem file and have it automatically run in TF2. Installation is simple, all you do is extract into a folder, and run setup.exe, but don't run handler.exe. After that, as long as TF2 is closed you can get demos to play easily. Any feedback or feature suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Yeah, honestly the only reason I made this is because it was suggested to me.

I mean, I would love this if it played demos without launching tf2 at all. Like I wouldn't need to load the game or anything? I haven't any idea what the tool is like due to it being a download link without screenshots, but I'm assuming it just launches tf2 with a demo pre loaded?

I mean yeah. But it's currently impossible to force a console command into tf2 (such as playdemo) while it's running. All you do is run the setup, then right click on a demo and hit "Open Demo in TF2".

Is it? I'm fairly certain you could do it with a plugin.

With a plugin as in server side or as in a custom item. Custom items can set commands to do certain actions, but they don't inject custom actions into console. Like I would still need to type in the command into console.
