demo playback problem

[fayc]

I recorded 2 demos today on a server by using F10 and typing in demorec and when it finished demostop. However, when I played back the demo, instead of following me, the camera was in third person and it was very difficult to move it around to even see the action going on. Just a few minutes ago, I recorded a shorter segment which worked fine, the camera followed me as I went about. The question is, why did it work on one demo but not the other?

There a big difference on clientsided, serversided and offline recorded demos. For more demoplayback feature you can check out RypelCam, which add some feature to a demoplayback. (It's recommended to record demos without having RypelCam added in a ini because recording some matches with RypelCam forces demoplayback to use that old version).

Generally you can switch the camera mode with the "behindview" command.
