How to do the demos!!!

Post by I.D.O. »

You can do any of the following to setup screenshots and demos.
1. Enter the lines into the console when the game is up. Sometimes this does stick and you will have to do it each time.
2. Modify your sof2mp.cfg file in your <sof2dir>/base/mp. You may want to look and see if you have a <sof2mp.cfg file in your <sof2dir>/osp directory as well and modify it. Just copy and paste the lines in the sof2mp.cfg files.
3. Create a text file in your <sof2dir>/base/mp directory. Add the below lines and name it something like media.cfg. When you are in the game you can just type "/exec media.cfg" in the console and press enter. The binds will then be loaded until you shutdown SOF2.

bind F10 "screenshot"
bind F11 "g_synchronousclients 1; record; g_synchronousclients 0"
bind F12 "stoprecord"

NOTE: You can change the above keys assignments to whatever you want.

If you would like to remain old school and just take screenshots, but dont wanna go through your sof2mp.cfg file, take the following steps.
<ul>
1. To take a screenshot at any time in any windows OS, press the print-screen button (above insert).
<ul>
a. This copies whatever is on the screen onto the clipboard.
</ul>
2. Since you cant Alt-Tab out of SOF2, you must do one of 2 things.
<ul>
a. Press win+r (windows key + r (brings up run prompt))<br>
b. Press Ctrl+Esc (Control key + Escape (brings up start menu))
<ul>
i. hit r (for run)
</ul>
</ul>
3. Type "mspaint" and hit enter. This opens up paint. <br>
4. Since the screenshot is already on the clipboard, just press Ctrl+v (Control key + V (Paste)).
</ul>
Just do this for each screenshot if you dont wanna set up the OSP screenshot feature. While its a little archaic, its reliable and always works.
