PAM Auto Demos Problem

Does anyone know of a workaround for a bad demo.

I noticed the new PAM autorecords demos in a match. For some reason when I reply the demo I get a message

demo error file truncated or something to that effect. I really need to see this demo and right now I can't get this to work

Thanks,

newest release of pam should be disabled if its still on ur outdated.

it was the latest verion - we were not playing on our server. had the indication that a demo was recording throughout the match but it will not play back but for 25 sec the I get the error about "demo file was truncated"

help anyone - I need to have the demo for a disputed match!

The Official TWL version of PAM does not auto-record demos. If you played a match that was auto-recording demos, they were using the wrong version or had it set-up wrong. In either case, it is always a good idea to make sure you start your own demo.

Thats the exact reason why auto demo was taken off pam I believe, you were NOT using the most recent version of PAM if auto demo was on

Hehehe.. just to confuse you guys further (we here at TWL do our best to keep confusion at a maximum... keeps you all on your toes), PAM UO 3.01 will have auto-demos BACK on again. lol

I have solved the IW/GWI demo playback bug. I have NOT fixed it (requires sorce), but I have FORCED it to work anyway. So just be aware that it is coming back.

I wish I knew what that problem was, I get the same with some of mine.

So the people with demos not working were on old versions???and they were not using the new one 3.01 or what ever???reason I ask is to just get this strait so I know if 3.01 is working or not...

Auto-Demo from 2.6 works, but you cannot view demos because of a bug in the Demo Playback that causes you to attempt to record a demo of the demo you are watching. No-Workie.

3.01 works because it will only run the auto-demo script for each player ONCE per map, and it STOPS any demos running before it auto-starts. Thus, no auto-demo function calls are made on the player DURING the demo.

Please note that a map_restart counts as a NEW map! This may cause several small demos to be made before the match starts if several map_restarts are done (one for each map_restart).

Also note that if you leave and REJOIN the server, you will have 2 demos for that match. The first demo will be stopped and a 2nd started when you rejoin. This was unavoidable as I have no way of detecting whether or not a demo is already recording when a player joins.
