[Step-By-Step] Record Your Ingame Experiences

[Its Max Blad]

A Step-By-Step Guide
Record Your Ingame Experiences

1. XFire
Download XFire From This Page - (Or Use This Direct Link)

Install The Software & Register An XFire Account

In Tools -> Options, You Are Able To Change Settings As Desired
   A Feature You May Wish To Look At Is Under 'Video' In The Options Tab. FPS Recording Rates & Sound Input/Output Can Be Changed


2. Demo
The Most Efficient Way Of Recording For A Ban Request Is To Begin Premeditatedly

To Begin Your First Stage Of Recording, Open Your GMod Console, Then Type "record <FileNameHere>"
   Obviously You Should Change <FileNameHere> As To What Your File Name Should Be

Demos Require Very Little Space On Your HardDrive, So You Can Record For Hours Without Running Out Of Space (All At Your Normal GMod Screen Quality)


3. Replay & Record
Once You Have Finished With Your Demo, You Can Type "stop" Into Console, Or It Will Automatically Stop When You leave The Server

Go To The GMod Home Screen, Followed By Pressing Shift+F2
   You Can Go To 'Load' And Choose The Demo You Want To Play

Find The Area You Will Be Recording, Pause The Demo Playback There. Begin Recording With XFire And Play The Video
   You Can Then RePress The Same Record Key To Stop Recording


4. Upload
Minimise, Or Exit GMod. You Should Be Presented With An XFire Screen, Enabling You To Decide To Upload Captured Videos And/Or ScreenShots Created During You Session

Choose The Video You Want To Upload, Give It A Name & Description etc.

The Video Should Now Automatically Convert Itself, Then Upload (You May Need To Be Out Of Game For This Process To Work)

Find Your Video URL By Opening The 'Remote Video' Then Copy The URL From The Address Bar


5. Enjoy
Your Video Should Now Be Complete, Any Questions Regarding Demo's Or XFire Should Be Able To Be Answered By Your Good Old Friend Google

Have Fun

No comments?

I would put this in a guide section, but it applies to every server so :l

[vizioN]

Nice guide. Stickied.

[SoapANator]

Yes, this helped a lot,thanks!

[Meatwad]

Sometimes it wont automatically compress the videos, do you know how to do that manually?

[Mad_ta]

is there a way to do it without xfire?

[deXterous | KaB00M!]

You can use a free version of FRAPS, though it only records 30 seconds at a time.

[Michael Jenson]

TY Max this helped a lot you should do more guides like combine behaviour on HL2RP Server.

Ly too babe



Also just looking back at this, why did I Capitalise Every First Letter Of Each Word, I mean as much as I love doing that, it seems a bit over-done in this scenario, may change it if I can be bothered :L

[Jasper Privien]

Fantastic! Yet another helpful guide on how to do something right.

[RyanPeters]

Thanks, I added this program and hope to actually have the time to use it.
