What is the Source Engine Demo Saver?
The Source Engine Demo Saver (formerly the TF2 Demo Saver) is a small program to help users record, save, rename, and sort Source game demo recordings (.DEM). By simplifying the process of saving demo files, the Source Engine Demo Saver makes it easy to create Source game demos while minimizing the risk of overwriting older demo files.
Current Version: 2.2 (Updated June 24, 2009).
Currently Supported Games:
Left 4 Dead
Team Fortress 2
Garry's Mod
Counter-Strike: Source
Day of Defeat: Source
Download Links:
S.E.D.S. can be downloaded from multiple locations:
FileFactory (http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag87bgb/n/SEDS_Version2_2_zip)
L4Dmods.com (http://www.l4dmods.com/index.php?option=com_joomloads&view=package&Itemid=133&packageId=33)
Instructions
Installation
When you first start the Source Engine Demo Saver, the Setup menu will appear automatically. First, enter your Steam Account Name into the text box. If you're unsure of your Steam Account Name, you can check it by opening Steam and selecting File > Settings, then click on the Account tab. Second, select all the games you want to use with S.E.D.S. Verify the information you have entered and selected is correct, then click on "Install Now" to install S.E.D.S.
Once installation has completed, the "Installation completed." message box will appear. Click "OK" to close the program.
Installation Instructions can be found inside the Help Contents (sedsHelp2.chm) under "Tutorials" > "Installing S.E.D.S.".
Recording & Saving
Recording demos with S.E.D.S. is only a keystroke away. Simply start a game with S.E.D.S. installed, join a server, and then press the NUMPAD_ENTER key to begin recording your first demo. A message will appear in chat telling you which demo file is being recorded to. If you want to start a new demo recording, you simply press the NUMPAD_ENTER key again to automatically begin a new demo. The Source Engine automatically makes a new demo each time a map changes, but not when you switch servers, so be sure to start a new demo recording for each server you join.
After you exit the game, simply run the Source Engine Demo Saver, check the boxes for the games you want to use the S.E.D.S. to save, and click on the "Save Demos" button. Your demos have now been saved to a "saved_demos'date'" folder in the game directory.
Recording & Saving Instructions can be found inside the Help Contents (sedsHelp2.chm) under "Tutorials" > "Recording and Saving Your First Demo".
