I recently played on a server running q4max .71 (I have .72 installed). The game ran without a hitch, and autorecorded my match. Now whenever I try to watch it I get a Demo Error, something about Exception Code blargin schmargin. Anyone getting this?
No, it doesn't actually say "blargin schmargin".
EDIT: Scrolled higher in the console and found the following error:
ERROR: Error: file q4max071.pk4/scripts/events.script, line 826: Unknown event 'useMountedGun'
**RESOLVED OWN PROBLEM** I had v0.72 installed on top of v0.71. By doing this, the server allowed me to play on .71 servers while running the .72 pak files with old data still encoded. This means that I was never running a true q4max v0.72 mod, but almost a hybrid of the two. After deleting my q4max folder and re-extracting v0.71, all demo recording/playback resumed as normal (minus the ones that were already recorded w/ the improper install configuration) and I was able to play on non v0.72 servers without confusing my filesystem.
I would highly advise anyone upgrading to v0.72 to learn from my mistake and do a clean wipe of their q4max folder before extracting the new files. Be sure to move your configs/autoexecs to the base directory for safekeeping before mashing the delete key. This will save you time and effort.
I would like to keep this post under the possible bugs of q4max forum in order to forewarn the other would be corner-cutters like myself, should they encounter a similar problem with an "Overwrite-type" install.

However the switch is a bit slow but you get used to it :]
