How can I record a demo / take a screenshot?
To record a demo in Counter-Strike, press your console key, this is usually above your TAB key and looks like , once you have the console up, type "record <demo name>" (without quotes), this will start recording a demo. To stop recording, bring up the console again and type "stop". The demo will now be complete and is saved in your Steam\SteamApps\<em@il>\counter-strike\cstrike folder named <demo name>.dem.

To record a demo in Counter-Strike: Source, it is exactly the same as in Counter-Strike, except that after you have stopped recording, it is stored in your Steam\SteamApps\<em@il>\counter-strike source\cstrike folder.

To play back your demo, make sure it is in the correct folder (see above), and in your console, type: playdemo <demo name>. In Counter-Strike, you have the option of typing viewdemo <demo name> instead, this includes a toolbar where you can change speed, pause, and skip time. This function is not included with Counter-Strike: Source at this time.

To take a screenshot in Counter-Strike, you can bind a key to "screenshot", by default it is bound to your F5 key. If you want to take a screenshot of your console, the best way it to type "screenshot" (without quotes) in your console, both these commands save it as a bitmap (.bmp) file named <map name>xxxx.bmp in your Steam\SteamApps\<em@il>\counter-strike\cstrike folder, where xxxx is an auto-incremental value depending on how many screenshots you have taken of that particular map. In Counter-Strike: Source, you should bind a key to "jpeg" (without quotes), this will save it as a JPEG (.jpg) named <map name>xxxx.jpg in your Steam\SteamApps\<em@il>\counter-strike source\cstrike\screenshots folder.

[1 g0t 0wn3d]

a funnier thought you would be spending more on fraps the counter strike

[JP198780]

yeah lol..CS is what? like $25 bucks now?

Look in Steam\SteamApps\<em@il>\counter-strike source\cstrike folder to see if the one you recorded as CS:S is in there.

you gota record demos with the command

demo *thenamehere* (withouth the **)

then you can play the demos from CSS by typing playdemo or play and then the name

if you need help you know where to find me

[JP198780]

kk...soo i type demo <CS:S> for example?S\

[Grove]

Being a former sponsored CS:S player I know a little bout this

So you either want to record yourself playing or another person?

Go to console (~) and type the following command:

record DEMONAME (ie DEMONAME = any name you like)
stop

To view the demo once its completed type the following:

playdemo DEMONAME

Those three simple commands will execute a fraps like video. The file is a .dem and is stored within your cstrike folder.

There are numerous programs to convert .dem files to .avi. Can't think of any on the top of my head but a Google search ought to bring about a few.

[JP198780]

i tryed 2 record, it said it was recording, cause i typed the command thing twice just 2 make sure..and i type playdemo and the name i saved it as..and it said it couldnt find the file or w.e

[Grove]

Ensure the filename has no spaces in it. Make sure you type stop or it won't save.

Also physically check if it is in your cstrike folder.
