There is no way built in, but you can use an external program to monitor the server using the Source Log protocol, and start / stop recording demos using RCON. This solution works quite well for me, only problem is matches that never end (timelimit 0 stopwatch), although that could be overcome by stopping the demo after players leave. The finished demos are also automatically compressed and made available for download, along with a list of players and the chat of the match (obtained via Query / Log). So before downloading a huge demo file people can check out the small text file to see if it's what they're looking for. It's written in Python but not exactly polished, don't expect it to be problem free. It works well for my clan but that's about it. You'll have to adapt it to your own situation, so Python knowledge is required. http://github.com/frostschutz/SourceLib/blob/master/examples/record.py Regards frostschutz _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
