Quake 3 Loop/timedemo

[DIE]

Hey All,

I hear everyone talking about running the quake 3 timedemos for 6 hours to test stability. Everytime I run a time demo, it goes once and then stops. How do you make it run continuously or until it stalls? :D

I have the 1.30 Update.

the regular timedemo 1 doesn't work- I have to use 127..

what would I have to type in console?

Everything please, don't miss a step.



Thanks Guys

Matt

You need to execute some code in the Quake3 language to tell it to keep going. Download the file at the bottom of this post, extract it, put it into your baseq3 folder and from the console, type:

timedemo 1
democycle.cfg

To change the demo you wanna loop, open the file w/ notepad, type the name of the demo into the appropriate place, save and execute in quake3.

hey oni,

I downloaded the file, tried it and it didn't work.


When I load quake 3, under the demos section it says four.dm_66 and that demo works so in the file I changed the one to a four.dm_66 ? and nothing else happened?

when I type democycle.cfg in console it says unknown command?

What am I doing wrong?

Oops! Its:

exec democycle.cfg

not just democycle.cfg

My bad
