If this recording tool takes off, I would love to see the option to use custom particle effects. Specifically PLDX particles. IIRC they are imported in the same way skyboxes are so it shouldn't be hard to implement a feature like that.

Also, VDM tool was really nice in lawena.

When having it set to TF2, it gives me the gameinfo.txt error, but if I set it to Half-Life 2, it gives me a different error. Not sure what the error is, but thought I would bring it up.

I've also tried the other captioncompilers with no luck.

I somehow got the command prompt to freeze and it said that I was missing the gameinfo.txt

I'm not having any luck compiling. Wish I could see what the command prompt spits out before it closes.

I put the txt file in the old resource folder area, then dragged it on captioncompiler in source2009/bin but it doesn't give me a dat file.

Also, what positions did you use to get it above the ammo with omp hud in your example screenshot?

I finally got around to trying this, and I'm having a bit of issues.

Skip to tick and record doesn't work for me at all. I've tried creating a VDM file through lawena and then using demobuddy to launch the demo and that doesn't work either. It doesn't skip, and it doesn't record. Just plays the demo normally.

The game is still using my class cfgs and disabling my viewmodels on non-melee weapons. Not sure how lawena prevented this, since there was a command called lockviewmodelson in the lawena cfg, but it doesn't work, so something else is keeping the viewmodels locked.

A future option I would like is to set a tick range to record. I don't want to have to check up on my demo seeing when it finishes, I want it to finish for me, like with lawena.
