I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but how do I time demos? Do I need to install a program or do I just use a timer? Also, How do I find out how many ticks are in a demo?
There's the Portal Demo Timer in Resources section
Don't use listdemo, thats more useful for segmented runs. Use the resoruce below it, that is actually titled "Portal Demo Timer" it doesnt matter where you extract it from there, you simply open the program, and then: -go to file -> open -select your demos
Starting now and currently being grandfathered, all console runs will be manually retimed with load times removed. This process will be redone by the verification team anyway, so don't worry about doing it yourself when submitting. Massive shoutouts to Tactix1 for doing this basically single handedl
