Time tracking on the current record while rec
Many people doesn't seem to know this little and old tip, so I thought to share it with you that don't know it.
If you are trying to beat a demo, for example:
ak_rh_warehouse_ns_flibo_0558
av_degyptianez_chrizZo_0255
bkz_aztecblock_sKiCg_06:18
Simply set mp_roundtime to the same time as the wr, + a few extra seconds if you need time to reach the startbutton and get some HP. With some tweaking you will hit the startbutton exactly when the time will countdown from the current record time.
If you reach the end, and there is plenty of time counting down, you can take it easy, and don't stress and maybe fall. If there is almost no time at all, just restart or speed climb/bhop like a motherfucker.
i often do that but i always fail @ endings... plenty of time/or no time watsoever :D
you mean mp_roundtime?

Yes, added that instead of "server time"..
11/01/2009 00:04I don't use it. I have a trick which I'm more used to :P
This is what I do while recording:
1. Play the map through 2-3 times.
2. Watch the WR, at certain spots check the roundtimer and memorize the time.
3. Play it myself, and compare the times at the spots, like waypoints.
It doesn't always work though... depends on mp_roundtime of the wr :P

I tend to do this all the time.
Seriously, I never watch any time, just doing my run and hoping it's enough ;-)
The timer would be simply a distraction for me.

i do the same
gonna create a small plugin for this if you want to + a "hurry up" message to make stormz nervous on runs :)
(the plugin would require kz_records cuz of the files kz_records downlaods + the downlaoded files need to be up2date :P)
11/01/2009 09:27thats a great idea SchlumPF :) gogo
I use this most of the time. It works great for me.
hmm nice idea thopa , but i think u should put mp_roundtime at the wr +20 or 25 sec to get hp or he maybe want`s to write something if he beat the wr , but it`s a very good idea.

need someone to test that, compiles fine but im to busy to test it right now.
it sets the roundtime on pressing the startbuttons, shows you the real time you needed as decimal number and if this works i add a cvar to manually change the roundtime (atm it uses the fastest time on the map which is ofc buggy on maps with more than 1 way)
@valide
having more time for getting hp would be ok but the round wont end on 0:00 cuz there is usually no terrorist ^^
SchlumPF i have some suggestions on this kind of plugin but make another thread somewhere with it.
I can also test it if you want.

But if you set 'time per map' to 999 or whatever the round won't restart until you type sv_restart/_restartround. So those extra seconds is not needed. It will simply just stop at 0:00 until you manually restart the round.
11/01/2009 14:08used something like that before, but gave up on it
never thought of that, Ill deffenetly use it when im recording
11/01/2009 16:53It already existed when I started kz :D
I did that all the time, that's pretty useful, at least for me :D

yes i know i use sv_resetart 1 but from now on i`ll use mp_roundtime :d gj for the idea
i used it too where i was "new" at recording, but i stopped it later, just do your run and dont care about the time until you are finished, thats the best way to get a rec :P
nobody answered me whether my plugin is working....
dLx you are allowed to post suggestions here to ^^
