This question has been asked many times; so below is a simple tutorial to
illustrate how to record for the purposes of submitting a demo. If you have
any further questions after reading this tutorial, please post them in this
thread.
Demo's will record everything that you see in game (barring scoreboard), to
record some one else's view, you first need to be in spectator (by hitting
your team change key, and selecting spectator) or death view.
Then, hit your tilde key (~), located to the left of your numeral one (1) key to open
console*. From the console, enter the command "record <demoname>" and click
submit, or hit enter.
*Console will need to be enabled via the Options>Keyboard>Advanced>Enable
Developer Console
A useful tip is to use the filename as the person you are recording; for
example - record snow1. This will allow you to more easily find the demo that
you have recorded, these demos are saved in to
your /Steam/SteamApps/"accountnamehere"/counter-strike source/cstrike/ folder.
Once you have entered the record command, the console should show an entry
similar to the one below:
] record snow1
Recording to snow1.dem...
After this appears, make sure to type 'status' and hit enter, as this will
bring up all the players 'Steam IDs'; which are a unique identification code
of each player, this allows them to be permanently banned from servers. To be
on the safe side, please copy their Steam IDs down, without a Steam ID, a demo
is useless.
A Steam ID should look like this: STEAM_0:1:19230.
Whilst recording try and not alert the suspect that you are demoing; as they
will most likely stop or leave the server. Do not message others in the game
to let them know you are demoing, as they may tip them off. If you find that
you cannot record enough footage of the player while you are dead, enter the
spectator view (as above) as it is easier to demo the player for longer
periods of time.
Once you have completed the demo (or wish to record another demo), simply
type 'stop' into the console. The console should report information relating
to the demo you have just recorded; example below:
] stop
Completed demo, recording time 148.8, game frames 9786.
Now that the demo is saved, you will need to watch the recording to make sure
there is enough evidence of a player hacking and the ticks at which the most
obvious evidence occurs.
To watch a demo, open up Counter-Strike Source and press "Shift + F2"; this
will open up the demo viewer . Click the 'load' button and
navigate to the demo you wish to view.
SuSano.
