// Provides a seekdemo alias that allows fast-forwarding demo playback by a // given time. // // Setup: // // Add "exec input-demoseeking.cfg" and the following cl_hook_gamestart_all // hook to autoexec.cfg. If you already have a cl_hook_gamestart_all hook, add // the quoted command to your hook, separated with a semicolon: // // exec input-demoseeking.cfg // alias cl_hook_gamestart_all "demoseeking_game_started" // // Usage: // - start a demo (ply/playdemo command or menu) // - use ,. (comma and dot) keys to seek -5/+5 seconds // - use m/ (m and slash) keys to seek -30/+30 seconds, - (minus) also // works instead of slash // - or use the "seekdemo " command directly // // Options (persisted): // // _demoseeking_min_speed // Minimum seek speed. Default 1.5. // _demoseeking_max_speed // Maximum seek speed. Default 200. Reduce this if the client freezes too // much while seeking. If the framerate is still high while seeking, you // may increase this, but increasing this with low framerate is unlikely to // improve seek performance. // _demoseeking_bind_keys // Whether to set default seekdemo bindings listed under "Usage" above. // Default 1. Set to 0 to disable the bindings. // // Variables: // // _demo_is_playing // Indicates whether a demo is currently playing. Set to 1 when playdemo // starts a demo. // Note: the setup above is needed to reset this reliably. // _current_demo_name // The name of the latest played demo. Same as the argument passed to the // last playdemo command.
