1) get the r1q2 quake2 client, it can be set to automatically record demos upon each map change.

2) Create or update this file C:\Program Files-orwhatever-\Quake2\baseq2\autoexec.cfg with this:

Code: [Select]

     //
     //Quick Demo Recording
     //
     bind F5 "autodemo1"
     bind F6 "stop"
     alias autodemo1 "bind F5 autodemo2; record autodemo1"
     alias autodemo2 "bind F5 autodemo3; record autodemo2"
     alias autodemo3 "bind F5 autodemo4; record autodemo3"
     alias autodemo4 "bind F5 autodemo5; record autodemo4"
     alias autodemo5 "bind F5 autodemo6; record autodemo5"
     alias autodemo6 "bind F5 autodemo7; record autodemo6"
     alias autodemo7 "bind F5 autodemo8; record autodemo7"
     alias autodemo8 "bind F5 autodemo9; record autodemo8"
     alias autodemo9 "bind F5 autodemo10; record autodemo9"
     alias autodemo10 "bind F5 autodemo11; record autodemo10"
     alias autodemo11 "bind F5 autodemo12; record autodemo11"
     alias autodemo12 "bind F5 autodemo13; record autodemo12"
     alias autodemo13 "bind F5 autodemo14; record autodemo13"
     alias autodemo14 "bind F5 autodemo15; record autodemo14"
     alias autodemo15 "bind F5 autodemo16; record autodemo15"
     alias autodemo16 "bind F5 autodemo17; record autodemo16"
     alias autodemo17 "bind F5 autodemo18; record autodemo17"
     alias autodemo18 "bind F5 autodemo19; record autodemo18"
     alias autodemo19 "bind F5 autodemo20; record autodemo19"
     alias autodemo20 "bind F5 autodemo21; record autodemo20"
     alias autodemo21 "bind F5 autodemo1; record autodemo21; echo ===Warning, Next Will Overwrite==="
Then in the game hit F5 to start recording a demo and F6 to stop.  So at each map change just hit F6 then F5 to stop the last and start a new.  The resulting files are in C:\Program Files-orwhatever-\Quake2\baseq2\demos  or if you are playing a q2mod like tourney C:\Program Files-orwhatever-\Quake2\tourney\demos
