Start saving your demos!

Right now there seems to be a lot of editing potential in spark, however it is untapped and difficult to do. In the future, there is a chance that some of these editing tools will be streamlined and some nice work will be able to be done.

Of course, if you start saving demos (and keeping the ones with decent plays on them.) then community frag movies will be a much easier project in the future.

    Who even records demos anymore?

    Nobody because, well, you know why, but people should be recording demos of their matches and saving the exceptional ones for the future.

    It's not optimal that if you want to have highlights from the last nsl seasons or something, the best format you can get them is a compacted mp4, and only one viewpoint and graphical setting.

    Demo playback is essentially broken and will likely never be fixed. Pointless.

    Have to agree with Fana on this one, DEMOs are not worth using at all.

    Also, correct me if i'm wrong here, but they don't carry over very well between builds right? Not to mention recording it on one rig and then playing it on another one, some stuff just weirds up in ... weird ways :P

    Not being compatible between builds is much less of an issue these days. Playback features common to Source games like camera drive, pause, fast forward, rewind, go to tick is the crux now. That and not having uniform playback speed as mentioned already.

    Still, on tough spot one would prefer dropping 100-120fps range rather than 80-100fps.

    Not everyone has 600 series+ kmg :3

    When you're in north tunnels and you're trying to squeeze out every last frame of that 45 fps combat in a siege.. you'll wish you weren't streaming :D
