Simple Guide To Recording Counter Strike Game Using HLTV

Half-Life TV offers the ability to have an unlimited number of spectators watching online games. They can follow the game just like they would as a spectator on the game server. Also, it can be used to record the game you are playing. I am going to show how simply you can use HLTV to record your games.

HLTV.exe file is located at the root folder of your CounterStrike installation (eg: c:/Valve/Condition Zero). To record your game, run the hltv.exe file and then you need to connect to the Counter Strike server by issuing the connect IP:PORT. Check the screenshot below:

After the connection is successful, type record filename.dem and the recording will be initialized and in few seconds the actual recording will start as well.

After finishing recording of screenshot, you can type stop in the hltv console to stop and then just type exit to exit HLTV. To watch the demo later, run CounterStrike game and then in console(type ~ to reach console), type viewdemo filename.dem.

I hope this helps. :)
