From the show notes:
- Demorecord
- What is it? TLDR: Text file creator of all actions in your instance.
- What do I do with this text file?
- Learn the pc command line run statement to start STO with the notation to open the specific text file
- Or grab the demorecord launcher program that will help you do that and much much more.
- Command to create Demo file
- /demorecord
- /demorecordstop
- Where did the demo file go?
- There will now be a folder in your STO install location called “demos”
- Ie: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online\Live\demos”
- Now what?
- Either you in the STO Launcher after you have logged in, click “Options” up on the top right before you hit “Engage” and scroll down to Command Line
- Here add in: -demoplay yourfilename.demo
- Download and run STO Demo Launcher (link will be in the show notes) https://github.com/STOCD/STODemoLauncher
- All your demo files should be show in the Demo Luancher Program. Just select the one you want and the fun begins.
- You can manipulate the file here removing effects, weapons, to renaming ships and changing a ship to say DS9.
- Once you are done editing, you can save and start the demo in playback, which will launch STO in demoplay mode with the file you had selected.
- Either you in the STO Launcher after you have logged in, click “Options” up on the top right before you hit “Engage” and scroll down to Command Line
- I don’t have a UI how do I do anything?
- To open Console: `
- Pause: Spacebar
- Free Camera Mode Toggle: F2
- WASD+QZ and mouse to rotate and move around
- Common Commands
- /fov 75 (wide angle)
/fov 20 (pin point)
- /fov 55 (default)
- /renderscale 1 (default)
- /renderscale 2 (higher quality, but takes more processing power)
- /screenshot_jpg (saves a screenshot, though any screenshot key you have set should still work, default PrntScr button)
- However demorecord may forget to grab environmental backgrounds at times, so a 3rd party screenshot program may be best
- /demo_restart
- /quit (exit out of the game)
