I recorded two demos and whenever I tried to watch any of them, they only played for a second or two before ending abruptly :/ What's wrong? Each was well over 15 KB...

If this helps, I didn't have a .M3U list for Soldat when I recorded them (before I just used). And while I'm still on this matter, is there any way to make the music flip to random tracks after each .MP3 is done?

What demo player are you using to watch the demos?
Maybe check how long you recorded your demos.
Do you have a registed version? If not you can only recond up to 3 minutes of demos.

Can't tell you about the about switching the music to random.

What demo player are you using to watch the demos?
That has absolutely nothing to do with the problem. All the demo "players" for Soldat do the same: start Soldat with certain command line parameters.

Keron Cyst, could you tell us the exact file size? "well over 15kb" isn't too accurate :)

Also, Soldat can't shuffle MP3s, but loading the list in Winamp and then shuffling it there "works".
In the Winamp playlist, click: Misc > Sort list > Randomize list
then save it and play it in Soldat.

boosta, sorry. Didn't mean to ask a wrong question. Wont't try to do something like that again.

Heh, no problem. You didn't tell anyone to format his hard drive or something like that :)

But i guess what i was trying to go for with what type of demo player you use. I was thinking maybe the player isn't loading the files correctly. But I don't know how the demo players really worked until you posted.

Please don't download if you don't think you'll be able to give advice on this situation; it's being hosted by Ripway, which has a daily transfer limit :/

In Demo5, I see a bunch of parachutes and the respawn sound keeps overlapping, making a huge unintelligible noise that blurs out even the music. This has also occurred to two other demos of mine.

Demo4 starts out with all music and sound really crackly & messed up, although it fixes itself up later (this is the only demo that does that). I'm running a Windows ME.

... Do you have a registed version?...Yeah (a friend got it for me), and even then didn't Michal not-so-recently allow unregistered players to record unlimited demos?

EDIT Oh, and I'm recording & watching them with the traditional Soldat.EXE we all know & love, if that helps.

Did he make unlimited downloads to the public, not registered versions? I didn't think he did that. May have to look into that. (starts searching the webpage)

EDIT I have checked the website and looked under Register. If you are a non-registered player, you have a limit of 3 mintues of demo downloads. If you register, you get to record unlimited demos(or at least as much as your computer can handle before it crashes)
