All demo's are stored within each mod folder, under a folder called....wait for it.....demos.

I don't really understand what this has to do with the Obscurity/HitLoc mods though.

Perhaps try contacting the Promod developers.

To record demos you must type /record. Now the demo won't actually save unless you also type /stoprecord. So if you didn't do that, you will not have any demos saved.

If there is no folder then you have no demos. Within my mp_obs299d folder I have 30+ demo files in a folder called demos. You must have deleted them.

Since you mentioned that you are on Windows Vista, you might want to look in your Virtual Store.

To navigate your way into that folder, make sure you have the ability to view hidden files and folders.

... If you don't know how to view hidden files/folders, then reply in another post.

Reading from this line down, I will assume you know how to view hidden files/folders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Navigate to:

C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Actvision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\

Your demos for any regular server without mods will be stored in the "main" folder.

Your demos for servers WITH mods are stored in the "mods\MOD NAME\demos" folder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have any problems, simply reply.

Happy to help.

I've had to do this multiple times because apparently Windows Vista/7 loves to use AppData to store a bunch of program-related settings/backups/files. I hate that new feature, but it's actually been out since Windows XP, (Application Data) but it's used more in Win. Vista/7.

hi im new to the scene and i have one problem relating to my cod4 files

we all know that when u record in game it saves ur demos to the correct mod folder in the original file format.

so now with my demos i right clicked and said open in cod4 (iw3mp).

so now all my demos that get saved do not get saved as the orignal file format, but rather as an iw3mp (cod4) format. so everything works and i can play my demos through cod4, however my friend told me about cod4player, and how it can use slow motion and s--- like that,

so i downloaded that, but my demos will not open with cod4player because the demos arent in their original file format.

keep in mind that i have tried right clicking on the demos and opening them in cod4player, but all that happens is that it starts to load the demo on the map shipment and just says awaiting challange...1 and nothing happens. it just keeps saying awaiting challange...1 without loading the demo :(

so essentially my question is how do u get ur cod4 demos back to their original format, because it seems that to play ur demos through cod4 player, the demos need to be saved in their original file format.

sorry for the inconvenience of the long post,
hope u guys can help

Try naming them as "demo0003.dm_1" etc and running COD4Player. Go to the main menu. Open the console and type /demo demo0003 then hit enter. Your demo should play. Might also want to execute the mod cfg first eg /exec obscurity_defaults.cfg (before you run the demo).

I prefer to make my own movie player by creating custom binds on the F keys.

Good luck.

thanks for your help im able to use cod4player now,

cheeeeeeeeeers :)

but sorry for inconvenience but i have one more question.

now that i can play my demos through cod4player it doesnt play them through the mod that they were saved as. e.g. when i play a promod demo and i had the scope (obviously the scope on promod servers is already steadied) and i had scoped in, it sways.

i didnt really explain this very well, hope u can understand it,

once again sorry for the inconvenience

hope u can help

 As COD4Player is a mod, it runs through that mod. You need to run and execute the demos in the specific mod you played them in, which is why I create my own recording binds in a special profile setup for recording that works in any mod.

F1 = record (record, I use these hotkeys when playing multiplayer in my normal profile)
F2 = stop (stop, I use these hotkeys when playing multiplayer in my normal profile)
F3 = rotate 3rd person left (cg_thirdpersonangle)
F4 = rotate 3rd person right (cg_thirdpersonangle)
Mousewheel scroll = Rotate incrementally around character (for 360 rotation around characters) (cg_thirdpersonangle incremental toggles)
, = 3rd person (cg_thirdperson)
. = first person (cg_thirdperson)
F5 = timescale toggle 0.5/0.25/0.125 (timescale)
F6 = timescale toggle 0.5/1  (timescale)
F7 = timescale toggle 2/5  (timescale)
F8 = timescale toggle 10/50/100 (timescale)

Learn about binds and you don't need COD4Player.
