Still trying to understand some console commands, and even after looking through some guides to Quake Live I can't find much about demoes. Can someone explain to me what demoes are and what their purpose is?

A demo is basically a record of the gamestates your client receives. This effectively allow you to replay a match but it's not a video format : the engine has to interpret to data and recreate everything just like when you're playing.
"cg_autoAction" 1 and 3 record them automatically.
"record" does so manually
"cl_demoRecordMessage" let you hide the demo record message.
"demo demoname" let you play it back
There's probably more to it, I'm not an expert.
The idea behind a demo is that you can watch the game again. It could help you improve your game and find out why you made some mistakes.
I tried making a demo, and when I load it up I'm stuck. I can zoom in and out, but I can't move or fire. Have I done something wrong?
When you "load it up"? You mean when you play the demo? Why would you move or fire while playing a demo? I'm confused :-(Originally Posted by zero557
I started recording a demo just before I started a match against a bot, and then after a while of playing I stopped it, played it and I was just standing there, doing nothing.
Nevermind, fixed
You could download the Quake Live Demo Tools. It showes all of the demos you and only YOU recorded. Correct me if I'm wrong I think you could recieve demos from friends over e-mail and view them on QLDT.

May the skill take it's place.
