Hi, i'd like to know what is the default value for the command demo_setspeed. I changed the value while watched a demo and i accidently saved it on my config. Now the demos are playing too slow, because i saved it as demo_setspeed 60. Now i can't find the default value, i think it might be 100, but i'm not sure, sometimes it seems to be very fast for me.

Btw, i'm using ezquake 2.0.

Thanks.

It is 100. Quakeworld is supposed to be fast!

I used to watch demos in slow motion to try to learn - think I remember watching all the 9 vs DR demos at about 30% speed or something, and would actually play sometimes against bots with the world speed down to sub-50%.

In retrospect: very bad idea. Getting used to slow motion means that real-time seems fast, therefore harder to control/aim/move/react. If I could do it again I would've practiced against bots at 120% and watched demos at 150%, and then playing online would seem like slow motion, therefore easier to control/aim/move/react.

I used to watch 4on4 demos at higher speed because it was tiresome to sit the full 20min. And yeah, it felt really slow when playing after that

I use these binds on my numpad, then it's easy to pause/slow down/fast forward

bind KP_HOME "demo_setspeed 15;echo Demo: Slow motion (slowest)"
bind KP_UPARROW "demo_setspeed 0;echo Demo: Paused"
bind KP_PGUP "demo_setspeed 800;echo Demo: Fast forward (fastest)"
bind KP_MINUS "inc volume -0.1;echo Volume: $volume"
bind KP_LEFTARROW "demo_setspeed 30;echo Demo: Slow motion (slower)"
bind KP_5 "demo_setspeed 100;echo Demo: Normal speed"
bind KP_RIGHTARROW "demo_setspeed 400;echo Demo: Fast forward (faster)"
bind KP_PLUS "inc volume +0.1;echo Volume: $volume"
bind KP_END "demo_setspeed 60;echo Demo: Slow motion"
bind KP_DOWNARROW "demo_setspeed 0;echo Demo: Paused"
bind KP_PGDN "demo_setspeed 200;echo Demo: Fast forward"

Looks like some volume control got included as well
