How do I use the Restrat mod?

RESTRAT

RESTRAT offers an easy to use interface when reviewing demos unlike the original default demo viewer. RESTRAT allows you to do three things:

  • Watch Mode now means you can watch a demo both alone or with other players in real time inside of a game server, something never before possible. The spectator tools make it quick and easy to navigate to specific moments in a round you wish to review. You can even leave notes for your teammates or friends to let them know at what point in a round a mistake was made with a smoke execute, or if they did something really well.
    • Save Notes: When reviewing a demo and you want to take a note about something you saw, use the .note command (.note Steel this was a good play) and it will save a note to your dashboard to the demo that you can reference later with a time stamp and a 'Play' button to start the demo from that note.
  • Versus Mode enables you and your teammates to enter a demo as a player. This is a window to allowing yourself to play against any team in the world and practice site holds, executes and more. You could even practice against your own team and yourself using this feature.
  • Record Mode means that players can focus on their in-game tactics by recording their own strategy, dry runs or executes and then play it back for viewing, or play against it yourself, leaving no gaps in you and your teams gameplay.
    • Save Recordings: When in Record mode you can save a recording to your profile using the .save command (.save Mirage-B-Execute) that will save that recording to your profile.

How To Get Started:

  • Ensure that you are subscribed to ESEA Insider first
  • Go to the 'Refrag' tab of your ESEA Profile
  • Upload any GOTV (POV demos dont work) .dem file using the green ‘Upload’ button
  • After successfully uploading the Demo will be ready to play within 30 seconds
  • Playing demo
    • Option 1: Click 'Play' on a demo from the website, you will be put into a lobby on the ESEA client, then click 'Find Match', you will be placed in a server.
    • Option 2: Create a 'Lobby' on the ESEA client, set your lobby to 'Refrag', click 'Find Match' and accept the queue. Once in the server, click 'Play' on the demo on the website. The demo will be downloaded into your game server and start automatically once fully downloaded, if you see 'Downloading demo' in chat, just wait until its done. 
  • Demo control binds
    • Make sure to add the demo control binds to your config/autoexec (they are at the bottom of this page), its a much better experience then using the menu to control the demo.
