bots in demos

[SoUlFaThEr]

im trying to make some demos for a movie of some of my maps for the company i am applying to.......and i would like to involve the bots a bit........

the demos dont show bots until they are dead so im shooting at invisible men....

anyone know how to make that work?

never had that problem what version of podbot are you using and what version of CS are you using and are you using HLTV or just in the console typing record soulfather_rocks

I saw once the similar situation with bots in demo, but during recording exactly the bots were invisible for me (I was a spectator). I guess You can see bots during recording, but after - when You try to play this demo - bots are invisible, isn't?
How do You prepare the demo? From console by record command or from some metamod plugin like ClanMod or AMX or something? And what version of CS (1.5 or 1.6)?
For recording demo last time I was using ClanMod 1.82b1, but I'm waiting for some good plugin for AMX for recording demo in the same system like do this ClanMod. These demos prepared by me with this latest CM were OK (sPlOrYgOn can confirm this ).

to record just a demo i of you playing just bring down the console and type "record filenamehere" This will only record you in first person however if you use HLTV and you activate developer mode you can see from any view from anyperson in the game you can even use TAB to view current scores

as far i as i know, you should do:

record <filename>

and THEN add bots. WHen you add bots first, and then hit 'record' you will see that bots are in the game, yet you cannot see them. Sometimes other stuff will be weird too (ie, scoreboard).

well that must be bot-specific, I often record demos of my bots to study them, never had these sort of problems...

well i was using 1.6 opening console record demoname(maybe it really was "soulfather_rocks" hehehe)

well ok ill check to see about adding bots AFTER recording starts.

but now my steam has had an error after last nights update........so i had to reinstall it today........and it wont connect to the steam network to update..DAMMIT
