I don't see why not as long as they don't mind - thanks!

Very true - I'll have to think about the pass time stuff as I'd want that to be separate from 6s - thank you for the demos!!

Sorry I missed this post - there hasn't been much of an uptake so not enough for me to work with as it stands. Could be that I timed the post wrong or it's something people aren't interested in anymore - I will do it if this somehow blows up but that's looking unlikely.

Seconded - this guy has a planet-sized brain to be able to do this.

AVIRecorder is a good alternative to lawena for those needing something. If you want the limited HUD etc. just copy those files from lawena's folder into your custom.

To my knowledge the only thing lawena does that is hard to do otherwise is replacing skyboxes, but someone can probably write a simple utility for that anyway.

Hi all

It has been about 3 years since I have edited any fragvids and I'd like to get back into it - and it has been even longer since I made a community fragvid so figured that was the best place to start.

If you're interested, please post your demos in this thread with ticks included - I would prefer STV instead of POV demos except for sniper/scout. Pugs are fine but no lobbies please. Offclass frags are fine if they are good. If your name/nationality is different to your TFTV settings please post that as well.

If it's PoLANd.tf frags make sure you post them in deli's thread for that video!!

This will be in the style of the videos I used to make rather than an 'edit' like my most recent videos.

Thanks

Nice guide! You can also use ce_localplayer_track_spec_target 1 to set the localplayer target to whoever you are spectating automatically - however this does not always work properly so where it is more convenient, the method you mentioned is more reliable.

You can use "mirv_input camera" to move the camera while the demo is paused in order to set keyframes apparently, although I don't use HLAE and didn't use this method when I did so I do not know for sure.

This is most likely what happened, but it's worth noting VAC won't actually ban you unless you join a VAC secured server with something injected into your client.

If morale was cheating its very surprising considering VAC is easily bypassed by most good cheats. Plus I've never heard of anyone saying he'd been suspicious. If he does remember joining a server after running some client utility like the demo fixer or whatever then that can be identified as the cause.

edit: not the demo fixer as twiikuu rightly pointed out

Great guide! One thing worth mentioning is AVIRecorder. You can use AVIRecorder to avoid the pain of VirtualDub and it records audio as well. Plus if you don't want to deal with lawena's bullshit all the time you can use it exclusively, though you'll miss out on some things like the HUD (just copy this from lawena's folder tbh) and easy skybox replacement.

Another thing that people always ask me about is lawena seeing CastingEssentials as a HUD. If you want to use CE to get damage numbers + white killfeed in STV you'll need to remove the "resource" folder from it to avoid lawena seeing it as your HUD.

If you want there's other stuff like making sure cl_autoreload 1 is in your config to avoid that jittery reload animation, using snd_soundmixer Default_Mix to fix the sound problem on gullywash etc. but that's probably not in the scope of this guide.

congrats on getting the joke!

Like Ascend I have known coyo since around 2017. We used to talk/argue about our issues a lot which, being 18 at the time, I thought was supportive, but others have helped me realise he was keeping me in a spot where I was dependent on him emotionally. When I eventually got out of this loop he went on to harass me using alts, post pictures of me everywhere etc. (hence my rather public lashing out at him)

I was slightly taken aback by how familiar kn's post sounded which is why I wanted to post this, despite not exactly being a saint myself. Disappointing though as I genuinely believed he'd matured over the years - he reached out to me again recently and I considered us friends at that point, but maybe he just ran out of victims so who knows. I can see from the thread others had it much worse than me - sorry to everyone.

I have been playing tf2 on 32:9 for about a year, and played on 21:9 for a couple of years before that as well. The FOV is higher - I like it on demo because I can watch traps on the corner of my screen and stuff while spamming. I also feel like I see soldiers that are about to bomb me more often, but that may just be placebo.

Oddly the FOV is restricted in a borderless window but not fullscreen. Seems like the client doesn't respect the value of sv_restrict_aspect_ratio_fov when the game is in fullscreen or something? This behaviour is the same in CS:GO as well. I still get the FOV increase in whatever server I play on though (admittedly haven't tried RGL config as I'm an EU player).

In terms of how it performs, I've never had any issues other than the above, and the game runs fine for me in 5120x1440.

This is what TF2 looks like on my monitor.

It is probably possible to use demos of any age given enough effort. The only guy that knows enough about demo files to debug things would be pazer though.
