A good friend of mine, TheVampire, has started development on a demo player for IW4M today. Everything was going well, except for one thing. During testing with a .bat file, he had discovered that when demoback 1 is added to the commands, it comes up with the following error:

 

 

The command line inside the .bat is as the following:

"iw4m.exe" +set fs_game mods/promodlive_v3.3 +vid_restart +wait 50 +demo test +wait 5 +demoback 1

 

When +wait 5 +demoback 1 is removed, the demo will start up, however this makes the final program less streamlined as it will require a manual push of a button to execute the demoback command and start the demo. This isn't really that big of a deal, but it would be nice to have it all start up in one go.

 

Also, I should note that for whatever reason playing demos like this is exceptionally unstable. It crashes after a few seconds to minutes.

 

Any help and/or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'll bump this once before going to bed, please don't hate me for this I just REALLY want some demoback angel person to give me the key answer overnight.

 

I feel bad for bumping this. Please HAYULP meh.

I'm not realy sure, but try +wait 10 +demoback 1, +wait 20 +demoback 1 or +wait 30 +demoback 1 maybe those will work!

Just tried them, still gives me this error.

Try demoback without 1 perhaps? o_O

Nope. :C Everytime i add demoback it crashes.

It shouldn't even have a value (just demoback).

 

What about this (can't test it atm):

"iw4m.exe" +set fs_game mods/promodlive_v3.3 +wait 50 +demo test +wait 10 +demoback 1

What about this (can't test it atm):

"iw4m.exe" +set fs_game mods/promodlive_v3.3 +wait 50 +demo test +wait 10 +demoback 1

 

Nope.

Correct me if I am wrong but how is this different from the other 4D1 player that has been created?

Yeah you gotta press enter to start the demo.

And it doesn't work with selecting and loading mods. It's also very broken for me, and it doesn't have the features this demo player will have.
