QRack and Demoplay

[BizarroMonkey]

The DemoPlay program doesn't seem to work properly with QRack. Specifically, it binds keys to change the hostframerate option, and it uses the +bind -bind system, so that letting go of the button should set the hostframerate back to the default. In QRack, this doesn't happen though. It sits at whatever the host frame rate was set to and won't go back. So, if I want to fast forward, I can't go back to normal speed without perhaps making another special bind for that, and that may not even work. What's up with it Rook?

Press enter to go back to normal speed

Ah, that does it! Cool beans. Does QRack have built-in demo fast-forward crap or something?

Yes!

Use the arrow keys to control the speed of the demo, press enter to return to normal speed. This is great for vanity shots when you make promo videos

[BizarroMonkey]

Ah. Yah it's too bad the in-game demo thing won't take you outside of the Quake folder. Oh well. It's pretty cool anyway .

[BizarroMonkey]

Is there a way to have demos fast-forward faster? Or cut to a specific point in the demo instantly?

[RocketGuy]

You can set the speed with cl_demospeed

[BizarroMonkey]

There appear to be limits to how fast I can move forward in a demo. If I want to get to a point 40 minutes into a demo, it's painful even with setting cl_demospeed to something like 99999. It takes about 15-20 seconds to get through each minute. Why is this?

u can modify host_framerate 0 is default 0.1 fast 0.001 slow
