how do i make zdoom demos?

[Unholypimpin]

can anyone give me a step by step explaination on how to make a zdoom demo? i looked at the zdoom wiki but it doesnt tell me how to do it.

i read somewhere that you can make one with command line, but idk how to use command line.

can anyone help me or show me to a step by step tutorial for noobies?

thanks

It involves command line arguments, but I don't remember what they are.

Keep in mind that ZDoom makes no effort to maintain compatibility with demos recorded with old versions however.

well i dont care about the compatibility problems im just trying to figure out how to make demos idk where to begin

[NeuralStunner]

You'll need to use -record filename in the [wiki=Command_line_parameters]command line[/wiki].

[Unholypimpin]

i used that in command line and when i did it said

"-record isnt reconized as an internal or external command, operable problem or batch file

[Kappes Buur]

Command line and Console command are not the same things.

try this from the Run window or from a batch file

Code: Select all

Drive:\whatever\folder\ZDoom_r3187\zdoom.exe -record whatevername

where Drive:\whatever\folder\ZDoom_r3187 is the path to zdoom.exe

The file should be in your ZDoom folder, IIRC.
