Vermil Posted June 23, 2010 ZDoom's demo recording is essentially indentical to the original Doom and has to be ran from the command line. You can find the required command line options you need here. http://zdoom.org/wiki/Command_line_parameters 0 Share this post Link to post
Andrea Rovenski Posted June 23, 2010 So, would I edit the file name from ZDOOM to ZDOOM -record MAP01.lmp? 0 Share this post Link to post

One way to do that is to create a shortcut and enter it's properties, where you add the commands to the end of the file path. e.g C:\...\ZDoom.exe -record MAP01.lmp 0 Share this post Link to post

Vermil Posted June 23, 2010 Personally, I'd rather use a port with in game demo controls. 0 Share this post Link to post
Andrea Rovenski Posted June 23, 2010 How would I record a custom map? When I drag+Drop my .wad onto the shortcut, it loads the regular game. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post

Hence you will have to also use the command line to load your wad. The command for this is -file. e.g -file xxxxxxx.wad 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, shortcuts seem to be retarded. (Or maybe source ports are at fault?) A batch file works fine, apparently. Paste a shortcut's command line into a text file, and add input variables:D:\DOOM\8\exec\prboom+\prboom+.exe -record lol -skill 4 -warp 03 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 0 Share this post Link to post
