Recoding/playing back demo from saved game

[Fernito]

Hi to everyone! This is my first post in these forums. Please sorry if my english is not very good.

I'm intending to record a segmented playthrough of Doom 2 using ZDoom. I successfully recorded from map 1 to 11, and when I entered to map 12, I saved the game. Now, what I'm trying to do is to record starting from the savegame using the following parameters:

zdoom -loadgame save1 -record demoname

It apparently works, but then I can't play back the demo. I tried several command line parameters, such like:

zdoom -playdemo demoname
zdoom -loadgame save1 -playdemo demoname
etcetera...

But all of them end up showing the message "could not find map" in the console.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it just impossible to record and then play back a demo started from a saved game? Thanks in advance

AFAIK It's not possible to do that in ZDoom and I don't think it will ever be supported in the near future.

An alternative would be to use some kind of a recoreding software like Fraps.

I see. I finally decided to make a single-segment demo. Thanks for your reply

You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the "Fernito" who recorded the amazing Duke 3D speedruns at Speed Demos Archive, would you?

LOL, yep, that's me

Now I'm trying to make a Doom 2 single-segmented 100% secrets run. I'm not very good at it though. The farthest I've made it is to map 27 in Ultraviolence.

Not much to do with the original topic but I finally was able to pull off the single segment 100% secret UV run (not a speedrun though, just a playthrough).
