Hey. I've had this problem when I try to record a demo and then stops it, it dissapears, or it's like it never was recorded. For instance: I write 'rec demoname', connect to a server using either the join button to join a public server or write in the console, then type 'stop', 'disconnect' or 'quit'. Then when I click the demos button it isn't there, I check my Nexuiz folder (even check every subfolder ) but the demo was not to be found. So I now am doing it twice just to be sure it works. Like I record a demo, stop and see if it is there, if it is then it's fine, if it isn't then I go on until it has showed up.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Also nother thing (dunno if this is new in the 2.1 patch or whatever) but before when recording a demo it went under the 'data' folder. Now it actaully goes under 'data/demos' which is a good thing. But I can't recall as of when it started to do that. Is it new in the 2.1 patch? Cause I have some wierd imagination that at first it didn't go under 'data/demos' but rather 'data' only.

The default demo path has never chamged. It's always in data/, "rec" is just an alias to "record demos/$1", that's why your demo ends up in data/demos.
However i'm unable to reproduce your problem, demo files are always created immediately after "record" and i can watch them growing. But i don't have a windoze system here to test wheather it behaves differently.

Ho? You can watch them growing? I also checked that when I was recording and my files are coming as soon as I've stopped the demo. As long as it is recording there is no file (which I actually thought was a little strange but imagined that's the way it should be).

That does indeed sound strange.. The demo file should be 'alive' as soon as you enter the record command. I even sometimes have to delete those files as i start recording via script but do not always play after starting nexuiz.

Did this ever get resolved? I think ai had this problem just a couple days ago in a match against kojn.

It's not solved nope. It happens to me from time to time.

Well the next version will offer autorecord but as kadaverjack said, as soon as the record command is issued it creates a file with size three bytes and it grows when joining a server and playing. So there has to be a file even if recording stops for some reason. I never had any such problems.

do you use windows vista, ai ? if so, you probably found the source of the problem, use winxp
