Recording in Vanilla TF2

Toggling HUD

You most likely don’t your HUD showing up in your cinematics.

  • ToggleHUD

    Easiest to use, intuitive, and not super hard to install. Drag and drop files into your game directory.

Toggling viewmodel

Your viewmodel shows up when you are freecaming with the camera tool. So it’s recommended you use some method to get it out of your way.

  • Theather Mode VPK

    Moves weapons and removes some UI. Pre-edited files, just create it into a mod.

  • Weapons Relocation VPK

    Moves weapons. Pre-edited files, just create it into a mod.

  • Custom Invisible Weapons VPK mod

    Make a mod that turns all or some weapons invisible. You’ll need to create a VTF skin mod.

Camera Tool:

Only works in TF2. Allows to use the current players camera and fly it around like freecam.

Demos/Cinematics/Theater Mode/Movie

We will call these “Demos/Cinematics/Theater Mode/Movie” function/file demos.

This is the broken part of TF2CT. Demos stutter every few seconds and there is no tool to assist in recording, managing, viewing, or editing demos.

  • custom .cfg
