****** Quake3 Demo Loop…HOW? ********

[NewmanM]

I have two questions:

Can anyone tell me how to get the quake3 demo (newest version) on a continuos loop?
I have been having some problems with a couple of spontaneous reboots, and want to stress test my system.

Also could some one tell me how to do a time demo?
I’ve tried:
timedemo1
Demo q3testdemo1
But is just brings me back to the main screen.

I appreciate it, Thank You

etc……..

I dont know how to do a demo loop but the easiest way to do a timedemo is doing this:

timedemo 1 (with the space between them)
then go to the demo menu and play a demo
when it finished just bring up the console and view the average fps

/timedemo 1

You mustn't forget the "/" :0)

Now that I know how to do a Timedemo, thanks to Bravo & Belshy, How to you do a continues demo loop?
P.S. - I only have the demo of Quake3 not the retail version –not sure if it makes a difference, but thought I should mention it.

Hello.
Just create a cfg File and name it loop.cfg or similar. Copy/Paste the following lines into the file:

timedemo 1
set loop1 "demo demo001.dm3;wait;set nextdemo vstr loop2"
set loop2 "demo demo002.dm3;wait;set nextdemo vstr loop1"
vstr loop1

Start Q3 and in the console type
/exec loop

Of course you can edit the cfg file if you want other demos to be played.

Hope this helps.

Great, it worked!
Had to edit the cfg a bit, cause demo001 always dumps me to the desk top, but other then that, no problem.
Thanks Yggdrasil
