IMPORTANT: I'm no longer working on Demo Buddy. I unfortunately lost the source files, so what you download is what you're stuck with, I can't improve it anymore. Hopefully it works for you, if not, I'm sorry but there's not much I can do :/

Features:

* Select your demo, TF2 launches and plays the demo automatically
* Built-in tools to set up demos to record them in-game, with many settings to play with
* Built-in favorites system
* Ability to launch at a new resolution
* Saving and loading directories and settings
* Checks for updates
* One .exe file, no .rar or any extra files
* Doesn't touch your autoexec
* Cleans up after itself (Gets rid of it's temporary cfg file when you press clear demo or exit the program)
* Light program ( <2.5 mb)

For this program to work, you must add the the following line to the end of your autoexec.cfg

exec demobuddy.cfg

What information does it give you?

I'm pretty sure you could add it to your exceptions and you'd be good.

Yep, that's built in too. Stick around for a version or two, I'm gonna integrate some features to make recording easier.

A section under settings where you can bind two buttons to record and stop.
For example

bind [o] "startmovie [Name];host_framerate [120];etc..."
(The stuff in brackets will be customizable)

Also checkboxes that let you hide the hud and put voice_enable to 0, all that good stuff.

You should add more essential commands on the program as well. Commands such as resolution, framerate without having to bind it, etc. Not trying to make it more like Lawena, but easy access to these things are nice to have.

Please allow us to add in extra launch options.

I'd like to launch TF2 with -insecure mode to load the open plugin.

shlanerWhat are the differences between this and Lawena besides this having the option to launch a demo right away?

Had to answer this question somewhere else too:

Offers different settings, automatically plays demos on launch, doesn't touch any of your files, plus lawena doesn't work for many people, myself included.

For some reason, when I exit Demo Buddy and open it up again, all my setting are gone. Even after clicking save settings. I saw a person above commenting about Avast messing with this, could this also be my problem?

Nevermind, I'm retarded.

Will there be an option to change HUDs like Lawena soon? For example, Full Medic, or just the kill feed?

Do you mean custom huds or hud elements such as kill feed, chatbox, etc...

If you mean hud elements, then yes there will be that option soon
