Outdated tutorials and recording advice

[Zomo.exe]

I think I should point out that half the tutorials in the section they can be found are well... more or less outdated somewhat, which leads me to my next question...

Not that THAT many people are active, let alone have enough time to play or record for that matter. Lately I've been thinking about recording stuff to either look back on or post around to get the game noticed more. The problem is, I tried using custom parameters to record and did EXACTLY what it said, and yet the demo failed to play back. I used the launcher (V3a), added every IWAD, PWAD and mappack that was needed and of course no luck.

I just need some advice... what is the most reliable and easy way to record through Zandronum (the tutorials refer to Skulltag even though they're essentially the same thing)? If you have a way that is different, list it step-by-step so I can try it.

It probably failed because you tried to use a directory path that had spaces in it. For some reason the demo recorder doesn't like spaces in the directory path. A file path like this: "C:MM8BDM" should work. A path like "C:Program FilesMM8BDM" will not work because of the space in the directory "Program Files".

Yeah, well... my filepath doesn't use spaces whatsoever, so that can't be the issue. Only dashes and dots. Still looking for some kind of solution or insight here.
