Usage

Demopan watches directories for demo files and sorts them when it thinks they're done being recorded. The best way to use it is by running it on startup and just forgetting about it.

A demo may take around a minute to appear in the demos folder after you stop the recording in-game.

demopan [-h] [--demos dir] [-w dir]

• --demos: The place you want to save your demos.
• -w: A directory to watch for demo files.

Demopan automatically watches the default directories on Linux, OSX and Windows but you can specify more of your own with the -w flag. Use the flag multiple times for more folders.

When you have finished recording a demo, Demopan will save it in the demos folder as:

YYYYmmdd-HHMM-map-player.dem

By default, the demos folder is ~/demos.

Key binding

For a quick way to start/stop recordings, put this in your game's autoexec.cfg:

alias panon "say_team [DEMOPAN] Get am, Boyos!; record demopan; alias panpan panoff"
alias panoff "say_team [DEMOPAN] End recording; stop; alias panpan panon"
alias panpan panon
bind F8 panpan
