ETTV Demos

Post by Ghost//sol-uk »

Hi, i finally got my server setup to play ETTV demos, my question is, Is there a way i can get my server to play continous demos so players can join and watch

at present, when one demo finishes, i have to add another command to the server console screen to load the next demo ie

demo """"""""".tv.84 and press enter to load it

thx in advance

ettv_autoplay 1

as described in the documentation:
http://ettv.anime.net/documentation.html

That means your demos have to named demo0000 demo0001 etc. If you are using linux, you can do this with slinks, so that you don't lose track of the real names.

:) ok thx for reply, ettv_autoplay 1 , put this in command line or in server.cfg ??

also, i understand the renamimg side, do they still have to have the .tv.84 ext?? ie demo0001.tv.84

also, if i have say 10 demos, what happens when it gets to the last one?? will it go back to 0001 again ??

thx again..

It's a cvar. You should set it before you play your first demo.

demo0001.tv_84 yes.

Sadly not. You might be able to do it with watchdog in the latest beta of ETTV, but I haven't tested it yet.
