TS map restart error demo

[DEMOn]

q2dm3 was mymapped but  tastydm2 restarted first(instead of just going to q2dm3 directly)... I expected to have to split the demo, but it played back with the wrong map selected in the demo.
the demo itself is nothing special.

It is almost more weird if you extract q2dm3 and rename it tastydm2.

man, that is odd.

i havent seen that happen before.

You are playing on dm3, but it shows tastydm2.

[[BTF]Defiant!]

That is strange.  Funny too that people are shooting chainguns and dropping healhpacks when they die.. perhaps the demo file numbers the items in the map and uses those for reference.

Woah =/ that's crazy, rocket chainguns lol.. how'd it happen? glitch?

LOL, the grenade launcher is throwing hyperblasters and the rocket launcher is shooting chainguns.

I had a strange experience several months ago on vanilla and would not mention it untill now due to me being the only one who acknowledged it and the "WTF are you smoking?" factor. I can't remember the exact sequence, but it went something like this. The map changed to base1 (or so I thought) and things started off normal. I got a couple frags with ssg and then couldn't find anyone to kill. F1 showed at least 10 players. I could hear battles going on. I could hear rail shots although I don't think there was a rail on that map at the time (may be wrong about that). I ran all over the map looking for people .... no one. I ask what map we were playing and someone said base2. Somehow it seems, myself and a couple others loaded base1 and everyone else loaded base2. I killed myself and respawned in base2 map. Wish I had a demo of it. hehe

Officer, arrest this man. He is in violation of the 'demo posting guidelines' I have to load my demos manually.

Also, Please name your demo's appropriately.  please do not name them
with funky characters or very long filenames, as some of us load the
demo's manually.  This will save everyone time.

--there needs to be an emoticon in the list with a "pfft" sign--

anyways, I load my own demos, but before I open my q2 window I open the folder containing the demo that I wish to view, click it once (or you can right click and bring up "rename") to change the name of it, I highlight that, right click, select copy and then ctrl-v (paste) it into my q2 window, after typing in "map" of course. while seemingly low tech and somewhat a pain in the ass, this method is simple and effective, I suggest you give it a try.

you can't expect everyone to rename their demos to one word files xD

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICALICIOUS!

sorry, but if you find a good human-readable way to annotate the contents of the demo within the 8.3 naming convention and differentiate it from 20,000 others, please let me know and I will be more than willing to comply.
try  dm2_2x2_hellfire52_legeartis38_griffin28-mrlame26_striker20-space18_4_-_hellfire48_legeartis29_griffin26-mrlame22_striker16-space13_4.mvd for a long one!
(damn good freakin demo too!)

the date and map name stamps on my demos are a lot of times the only way I can figure out which ones are what, I think demos that are named like "edge2v2.dm2" are pretty lame because you have no idea wtf that even is, unless you downloaded it just then

i can hardly believe plastik took the time to write demo posting guidelines anyways lol ;p

Something similar would commonly happen in the game Descent2 online(everyone in the same map though).   Sometimes when you'd connect, you would be in the game with only some of the other players... both groups would be playing separately. 
What you are describing sounds like you were physically with the other players, but their map was at different coordinates.  Base1 and base2's cpordinates probably don't overlap.  If you could see through the walls, I bet you could have seen the other players off in space somewhere.  But that is just a guess...
