Removing pausing in demos.

[forgettable pyromaniac]

I have a demo where I had to stop at one point and resume later - I want to get rid of the pause, does anyone have any idea on how to do that? I do have XDRE but it doesn't look like it appears on there.

Rerecording the demos are not an option right now, so I can't just do that.

update as for what i decided to do:
- I opened XDRE
- I erased a bunch of the WT ticks until the first one in the large end part (I didn't know how to find it nor turn it off so that was the best course of action).
- I copied the WT ticks for about 90 or so, give or take.
- Saved the demos

- Profit

Thanks guys... I really need to learn the UI for it at some point, don't I? xD

If you paused by pressing escape/whatever you bound the menu opening to, then this won't be in the demo playback and doesn't have to be removed. If you paused with the actual Pause key, well.... removing those tics will likely throw off the rest of the demo and cause it to desync. From your description it sounds like you used the first, so there's nothing to remove, and no problem.

A tool like XDRE can be used to delete frames, which you could use to remove pause tics. However, enemies like Revenants use the game tic timer to determine how their tracers work which are in turn affected by pauses (pausing the game can actually manipulate if they are homing on you or not), as such the demo is not guaranteed to stay in sync.

the pause is at the end so this wouldn't come into effect, I paused after everything went down to quit (it's for the doom demo reel).
I said pause and resume cuz im an idiot, i knowwwwwww calm down. i did pause it and resume it but then I just alt f4'd instead.

2.21 is broken. 2.20 is the reccomended version.
