This is just a quick post to get some feedback/criticism on a script I wrote to "replace" prec while its unusable and make the valve demo support tool a bit more friendly.
Since prec doesn't work with mm/casual i decided to give valve demo support(ds) a try. I haven't seen any post about ds since the meat your match update I decided to give it a crack myself. I noticed pretty soon that ds has a couple of major flaws, that specifically for recording mp_tournament it starts recording as soon as you join and doesn't finish until after you disconnect. That kinda sucks along with the manual commands ds_record and ds_stop are two separate commands thus my pretty average solution.
It is just a bind that enables you to start/stop a demo using the ds system.
v1.1
thanks to gemmellness for the suggestion on making it more compact

chuck that into a cfg file and put exec demosupport.cfg into your auto exec
also would like to point out that this is half a concept of an idea and in no means has been bug tested or anything like that
known bugs:
if you have a "bind "f8" "record temp; stop; snd_restart; hud_reloadscheme;heartbeat;" it will start and stop a demo, showing in console and chat. this is not a problem if you have delete demos with no marks turned on.

you dont need 3 extra separate cfg files for such a simple script, something like:
alias record "ds_record; alias thing stop"
alias stop "ds_stop; alias thing record"
alias thing record
bind f6 thing
would work fine

thanks dude, I had a feeling there was a better way to do it :)

I think people will probably want a log of killstreak ticks like p-rec can make.

It has one, when you select the folder for the demos to go to it makes a txt doc there called _events, that has all the bookmarks :)

It's just a start/stop bind? I thought it would actually be useful and make it like old prec where it records when game starts and stops when game ends.

Yep its just a start/stop bind. This was just my way of getting around wanting to be able to pub and record matches without having to reinstall prec when wanting to switch between them. Honestly i have no idea how to make it like prec and this was simply a way around the immediate problem before the guys who made prec or someone else can solve the problem.

Is there/can you make a way to change how demos are named? I'd love to have the name of the map in the demoname like with prec. Makes demos recognizable. There's no way to recognize a demo when they are all just named a bunch of numbers

I'd also like to change the demo directory

Just FYI, you can set ds to record for mp_tournament now, so you don't really need this anymore.

ShpeeismeI'd also like to change the demo directory
You can change the directory by putting ds_dir whatever into your console.
