I put up a video on YouTube of the animation glitching I'm
experiencing when trying to record a demo. It's the opening for EP1:

Looking back at the mailing list archives, I think Vitaliy Protasov
first described the problem following the big August 4 SDK update.
I've looked through the available code, but was unable to find much
help regarding demo recording. (The record and stop ConVars, for
example, aren't setup anywhere.) There is a IsRecordingDemo()
declared in cdll_int.h, but I think it's definition is out of the SDK,
and it's not called anywhere. (I was hoping to find an
if (engine->IsRecordingDemo())
{
AnimationFreakOut();
}
call somewhere that I could comment out, but no luck.)
So, this looks like something that used to work and was inadvertently
broken in the August SDK update.
I don't know if this is the same problem with animation that Adam is
experiencing or not.
Mike, I'm sure you have a very full plate right now, but do you have
any idea what would be causing this problem, or what it would take to
fix it? I assume that recording demos works within Valve, and there
is some discrepancy between your code and ours.
Thanks a lot for any help,
Nate
PS: I want recording demos to work because we could automate a big
part of the News at Seven production chain and obviate the need for a
second video-capturing machine, but I assume it would be useful to
other modders as well. Thanks again.
