Pov-Record

P-REC (POV-Record) is a third party plugin created by Orange, the plugin is verified by Valve. P-REC is a useful plugin, it is used for easy demo recording in Team Fortress 2, it automatically demos starting when tournament mode is activated. There are several plugin modes that can be used through the in-game console:

(prec_mode 0) - Don't record at all.

(prec_mode 1) - Record only when name of the next demo is set by user.

(prec_mode 2) - Record games with tournament mode enabled. (Default)

(prec_mode 3) - Record all time.

The plugin can detect getting a certain number of kills during a set period of time, taking into account deaths. The plugin can also log player markers, by use of the console command "prec_mark". These print to a text file that is created alongside the demo from the same game. Marks contain the game tick at the time that the marker is created.
