I'm having this problem that I can't seem to figure out. I've reformatted my scrim server like 3 or 4 times but the problem happens everytime. So I just install metamod, sourcemod, mgemod, soapdm and match recorder. For some reason every demo is fucking huge for no reason, last scrim was a 45 minute game and the demo was 485MB. Also, I heavily rely on the the advanced spectator plugin to review demos and whenever i turn on the glow it works for like 10 seconds but it stops working right after. it's really annoying and i don't know what's going on. does anyone know what can possibly be causing this?

tv_autorecord is already set to 0, before, during and after scrims. I'm not saying the demo is huge in terms of length, it's huge in terms of size. The demo is 45 minutes long, as it should be.

That's pretty weird to say the least. Usually a demo that big in size is caused by 'tv_autorecord'.

aimchange the map every time you get a new scrim

That shouldn't be necessary since the plugin stops the recording once tournament mode restarts.

Hooli, I'm willing to take a look at it. Just send me a message on steam.

I renamed the addons folder, restarted the server, recorded stv via rcon and jumped around on a map for a few minutes. killing myself and switched teams a few times. I booted up the demo with the advanced spectator plugin and the glow still wasn't persistent. to make sure the advanced spectator plugin isn't at fault I downloaded a fresh esea demo and the glow was persistent on that so yeah, it's not any plugin. must be something in the server cfg. I've uploaded it for you guys to take a look at: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60781878/big_boys_cfg.rar

To test if disabling addons minimizes the demo file size I will have to wait until a scrim day or if tf2lobby starts working.
