Demos don't show up in folders..

Post by _Rush_ » June 18th, 2009, 8:28 am

From Media "Making movies" section:
If the demo is recorded on a server without mod, you can find the demo in "\Call of Duty 4\main\demos”.
If the demo is recorded on a server with mod, you can find the demo in "\Call of Duty 4\Mods\Name_of_the_Mod\demos“.
I've tried recording on about 7 different mods, modwarfare, and even without a mod...
It seems to be working... says it's recording in the bottom left corner...
Then i stop recording it...
And these demo folders are always empty!! Nothing in them........
I look in the main demos folder, each mod's demo's folder... nothing.
Btw, i have 7 different mods and none of them had a folder...
The mods work, but i needed to create a folder for them, then inside the folder i put a demos folder.. in each of them..
Didn't do any good though.. because the demo didnt show up anywhere, no matter wat mod i recorded it from
Can anyone tell me wtf the problem is?
Btw, im using Windows VISTA.

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming

You will find your demos in the Activision > COD4 folder :)

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm on Vista and mine show up in:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Mods\mod name here\demos

Also, I don't have an Activision folder in Roaming.

Since when did CoD4 use Local Apps or Roaming folder? That was WaW.

I think it's a Vista thing, speaking of Vista, anyone tried the 7 RC? I'm installing build 7201 on my new pc.

It's a hidden folder. Go to settings for folders, and click on "Show hidden folders and files"

Or type this in your explorer:

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming


Replace YourName with whatever your name is on your PC.

I've never heard of CoD4 demos showing up in AppData... as Drofder said I thought it was only a WaW thing. I'm on Vista 32-bit and mine all come up in my Mods/modname/demos directory.
