i got the autodemorecorder, but i dont really understand how to use it even after watching read me
This is kind of a dead thread because I never read things but in case you're still interested read this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U-lFVpDHuoW3AeQvm2SojPWsFT68TuSawmC5ulNx5qE/edit It was written for a specific segmented project so certain things like enabling autojump may be irrelevant; the section you'll want to make note of is "correctly recording demos."
Notably, I specifically advise against using the speedrun_demorecord plugin for segmented runs because it makes it annoying to control which demos you want to keep and which demos you want rid of. Also, the plugin itself is pretty horribly broken and has weird effects on the game in some cases for reasons nobody is sure of. The only reason I reckon it's still used in RTA is because nobody has made anything better.
And definitely don't follow max's advice of closing the entire game whenever you get a segment, because that's insane. Just copy the recorded demo to a new meaningful name. The "naming demos" section of that document provides a reasonable way of doing that, but of course you might choose to organise your demos in any way you want.
Starting today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
