Title: why cant i rename demos
Post by: ak-47 on April 26, 2008, 04:43:34 AM: whenever i try and load a demo that i renamed after it has finished, it says like "couldnt load matchvsij.bsp"

so like when i rename it, it somehow changes the map name or something.. whats going on

Quite possibly the dumbest thing you can do on an OS.

Anyway, to start up a demo with the map command, you have to:
1. Make sure the demo is in your pball/demos folder.
2. Make sure it has the extension .dm2
3. Type 'map <demoname>.dm2', where demoname is the name of the file. (Sans brackets, of course)
