How to download and play demos in Counter-strike Source
Download the .dem file to your desktop or wherever you set the file to download to. Cut that file then paste it into the destination :
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<username>\counter-strike source\cstrike
(NOTE ? The ?<username>? bit means your steam account name.)
For example ? my steam account name is ?sgtelvis? therefore its : -
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\sgtelvis\counter-strike source\cstrike
In this folder you should put all your Source demos, another useful thing to do is to put a shortcut to that folder on your desktop for easy navigation, instead of having to browse through all the folders every time.
Now you are ready to view these demos in the Counter-Strike Source interface
1. Open up Source on your computer
2. Open up Console by pressing ? ` ? on your keyboard
Console Should look something a lot like this
NOW ? In the console type ?playdemo?
A list of demo names should now appear use arrow cursors to go up and down to select your demo you want to play, then press enter, a few calculations will start in the console box then your demo will load. When watching a demo you cannot change player you are watching or change view.
IMPORTANT NOTES
You cant view demos with incorrect file names such as :
?Demo 1 5v5 match?
It has to be - ?Demo_1_5v5_match?
Don?t ask why that?s the way it is, so no spacings, use underscores.
Demo Commands In Console
demo_pause ? Pauses the current demo playing
demo_resume ? Resumes playback of that demo
demo_timescale - Fast forwards the demo
Hope this helps
