Title: Questions about the engine.
Post by: Alxa on July 20, 2021, 02:29:00 PM

Hi!

I’m a new player and i wanted to ask you guys about commands that could help me make frag videos (This is our clan Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqeB0k8z-RH3hBTGS_MCFhA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqeB0k8z-RH3hBTGS_MCFhA)).

I don’t know what kind of tools does the engine offers but I would like a command to modify the speed of demos and a command to rewind a demo. Is it doable?

Thanks in advance.

--edit--
What is the requeriments for the Forum Avatar? I can't change mine no matter which resolution or size i try.

Hey Alxa, welcome

Two essential commands for controlling a demo are /gamespeed and /seekdemo, the first one lets you speed up and slow down time, the second one lets you skip to a specific time ahead.

gamespeed is very intuitive, but seekdemo can be confusing at first, for example /seekdemo 9:00 will jump to 1:00, and /seekdemo -9:00 (or /seekdemo 1:00) will jump to 9:00, both positive and negative numbers will skip forward, the only way to "rewind" is to reload the demo before the seekdemo (eg /demo demoname; seekdemo 5:00), but you don't have to worry about any of that if you use the Pseudo Demo Editor addon (https://github.com/SalatielSauer/Sauer-Demo-Editor/ (https://github.com/SalatielSauer/Sauer-Demo-Editor/)) :P

I'm not sure about the avatar requirements, but you can try asking on Sauerworld discord channel #support: https://discord.gg/j3kyxtj (https://discord.gg/j3kyxtj)
