trouble with single player demos (COD4)

[Innkeeper]

i took some single player demos, and when i go to play them back, the game loads about 1/3 of the loading bar, then cod4 exits, with no error message or anything like that.

how can i get my single player demos to work?

[helium]

give some more specific info pls


does the game still exist in the process bar if u do ctrl+alt+delete? what os do you have? have u tried rebooting?

what did u try to fix it?

[Innkeeper]

i run xp, and the game does not show up in task manager for ctrl alt delete after it crashes.

i tried safe mode, converting the demos to multiplayer demos but neither worked

I didn't even know that... Demos in SP ?

[Innkeeper]

ye if you record demos in sp they will save to the demos folder in your main folder.... they are type .spd files (im assuming that stands for single player demos) i try looking up this problem but all i get are results for the cod4 pc demo lol

Try playing them with CoD4 Demo Player http://www.cybopat.net/vb_cod4player_eng.php

I would test but I really can't be bothered.

doesnt work with the CoD4 Player..
i saw much topics in other forums where ppl asked how to play this files but noone knows...
maybe u cant play it cus iw blocked it cus of some copyright shit? ooo
but maybe there is a way to convert this files in other files? dm_1 for example... maybe u can find something with google

Single player demos have never worked. I believe they exist for development reasons and not our convenience.

[Coontang]

Thats just retarded.

Why would copyright matter anyway?

[Innkeeper]

theres nothing that can be done to use sp demos? cuz thats just stupid

[Coontang]

I hope someone fcreates a player.

On a second note, Cant you just record say, spdemo.dm_1 ? Il try it, I remember in counter strike or something you had to write .dem at the end...

[Drofder2004]

Jim, are you suggesting recording in one game and playing back in another?
If so, that is impossible. When you record a demo, you are not flat recording your screen, you are recording virtual entities, movements, gun fires, etc. This allows us to go thridperson and move the cam around.

[Coontang]

no, it doesnt matter, i dont understand how they work and i thought it would be worth a try at least but obviously not
