mat_filtertextures 1
mat_filterlightmaps 1
mat_forceaniso 2
sv_cheats 1
sv_allow_point_servercommand always // required to use tr_walkway

// Demo recorder settings
alias rr /"ds_stop; ds_record/" //Enter rr in the console to fix visual glitches
ds_activate 2
//0 – manual recording only, 1 – automatic recording of comp matches in game, 2 – records all matches, 3 – does not work but should only record MP_Tournament matches
ds_autodelete 0 //Automatically deletes demos that do not contain bookmarks.
ds_prefix optivex //Inserts this into the demo name.
ds_dir demos/ds //Writes all demos and files to a folder in tf/demos/DS.
ds_notify 1 //Inserts a message into the chat window to inform you that you are recording.
ds_log 1 // Log bookmarks to a text file
ds_sound 1 //Play a sound during recording
ds_screens 1 // Automatically screenshot the tab menu at the end of all recorded games. 0 out of 1 if uploading logs fails
ds_min_streak 20 // set to 20 if you want to collect divine killstreaks in pubs and don't even need killstreak weapons
ds_kill_delay 60// this could be a good setting to get sik frag clips
