Hey guys,im new to this speedrun community. Im having problems using NGHL. The problem is that NGHL only records c1a0 and when loading comes in it stops recording demo,it dosent record next map(c1a0a). Does anybody know this problem? And do you also know where NGHL demos are located? ---

Hello, NGHL cannot record demos past level changes (it’s built on an older engine). For a newer engine, check out the [GoldSrc Package](https://forums.sourceruns.org/index.php?topic=2702.0). The demos are stored in [Half-Life folder][mod name], for example Half-Life\valve. ---

```auto bind "load seg1;bxt_record seg1" bind "save seg2;stop" bind "load seg2;bxt_record seg3" ``` I think it would go a little something like that. (I wouldn’t really know because I’ve never done a segmented but that’s how I would do it if I were to run a segmented.) You have you use BXT in order to record at the beginning of a map via a script. I would also recommend backuping all of your saves/demos in case something happens to them, like overwriting them by accident.

But i don’t know how to start recording demos when the map switches(example,t0a0 to t0a1 it records t0a0 but dosen’t record t0a1),every time i try to do it i lose some frames. ---

What’s difference between WON and original? But can i record past level changes in BunnymodXT? And how to do it? ---

Eh, WON _IS_ the original (unless there’s an earlier one I don’t know about? ??? ). There’ve been updated versions since then (e.g. the latest Steam version). I don’t know off the top of my head whether BunnymodXT has some kind of auto-record feature. I’m sure I head of there being some kind of thing a while ago, but I’ll wait for someone more informed to jump in with a proper answer. ---

You will have to use goldsource package to record a demo through multiple maps. > [@GoldSrc Package 2.4](https://forums.sourceruns.org/t/goldsrc-package-2-1/2634): > > [a] [a] GoldSrc Package The purpose of this is to create an all-in-one package which contains the essential files needed to get started running GoldSrc games/mods. It’s basically the GoldSrc equivalent to the Source Unpack.

Check your “game.cfg” in the “valve” folder, maybe it contains the “stop” command which stops the demo recording on level changes. ---
