Since this is going to be a 500 frag limit, I am concerned with the amount of hdd space that is going to be taken... I am already 98.1% full on my disk volume.
And btw, I am not interested 'doing good' so, if I could be exempt and just be disqualified from the prizes or end game standings that would be okay with me, if I can opt out to demo record.

Technically speaking, you could just say "I tried to record a demo, and ran out of hard drive space," and the result would be the same.

But thanks for being up front about it.

I'd estimate the demo file size will probably be somewhere around 10 to 15 megs? Probably not more than 20 megs.

Just curious, what size hard drive do you have on your system?

Regards,

Cool, thanks. Looks like you should have plenty of space to record the demo, zip-compress it, and upload it here... then you could (of course) immediately delete it?

Just a thought...

I'm sure you should be able to make some space for it, heres an example.. Copy all the maps except q2dm8 to a temporary space, then you should have plenty of space. If you really can't record a demo, then it is fine. I mostly want to do demo's so everyone that wasn't there can see how it went. And also make clips of 'best of' frags, etc.

I'm just going to choose to opt-out of that option. It's having fun that counts, not doing extra work.

if you COPY all the maps to a temporary space (??) then wouldn't he have even less room on his hard drive?

For some reason, this makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.. hwo in the hell will that work out?

Also, like console said, he estimates the demos to be 15-20MB.. this could easily take upto 2 hours to play, who is actually going to watch all these demos to begin with?

Part of the reasoning was that players need to record demos, so the demos are available if questions of some form of botting came up, and the demo needed to be sent in for review.

So for that reason I still think all participants should record demos. . . . even if many of them might go unwatched.
