Would be really nice (as nice as MVD demo's) to be able to reverse the speed of demo playback, with a negative timescale for example. It will save everyone really much time, especially video makers. A demo is just a number of coordinates of the player and other info, right? So reading it from end to start should be possible?
Ofc it is a feature for the future, not now if it's possible to make...

It needs engine modifications, so won't happen until we move from 1.32 ID engine.

Don't think it's possible there.EDIT: I know so now: IMPORTANT: The line speed cvar cannot be set to a value below 0, the demo cannot play backwards.

q3mme cant record backwards, however u can move back in demo time by shift+a or shift+mouse moving to left.

It doesn't work, fuckiest fucka of us all :PI press x to switch to chase mode, pressed 2 to edit view, pressing SPACE afterwards with any letter doesn't do anything because SPACE = MOVE UP, JUMPPressing e/q to switch to next/previous doesn't do anything too, so what to press to go to players view?? Maybe depends on the demo? I tried this one: http://www.excessiveplus.net/files/forum/2010/05/2010-05-10_22-08-17_cpm14_-c4---swat-team--war---train--serv.dm_68
