recording demos with zdoom

[NaturalTvventy]

hey friends, is it possible to record a demo with ZDoom? I use the old fashioned way (-record) but when I try to replay the .lmp it crashes while trying to load. is there something I need to change, or is this just not a functioning feature of ZDoom?

Thx,

It works for me (ZDoom 2.4.1 (r2152) on Windows XP) what did you name the demo?

[NaturalTvventy]

just the name of my wad, end3. why does the name matter? i'm using the newest version of ZDoom under windows 7.

Edit: I just named it 'enddemo' and it worked fine. dunno what was wrong before. probably user error.

Be aware that demos in ZDoom have a notorious habit of breaking between versions, and, probably between various SVN revisions now too. So if you plan on sharing this demo with others it would be a good idea to tell them what revision or version of zdoom you used to record it.

okey dokey.

d'aw man! I just made a run through my wad (Awakening) recording a demo, and finally made it through without dying, and the flippin' thing is out of sync. it took half an hour, so that's probably why, eh? is this a pretty common occurrence?
