[Windows] CSGO Moving Demo files to different folder with Timer

TandelK · **Author**

As i record Demos for my Call Admin Reports and other purposes, i basically wanted to share Demos with Public either on FTP or HTTP . So there was huge issue in start that basically CSGO didnt allow Auto Recorded Files to go to other Folders until i created a batch script on my system and added it in Time Scheduler Of Windows for every 4 Hours.

I am using XAMPP for website based download system. I am just mentioning common way of path.

Demo Path - C:\Retake\csgo\
XAMPP htdocs path- C:\XAMPP\htdocs\retakedemos

Batch File i created for every 4 hours running.

Code:

cd C:\Retake\csgo\
move *.dem C:\XAMPP\htdocs\retakedemos

It runs every 4 hours and moves all the demo files to retakedemos folder but issue i face is if the server is currently running it also moves that 0 kb file of Current Recording . If anyone knows how to restrict in use files ?

this little python script will move all files from ts to ts/asd and check their size to not be 0:

Code:

import os
import shutil

def getSize(filename):
    st = os.stat(filename)
    return st.st_size
	
def moveFile(file, des):
	shutil.move(file, des)

files = os.listdir("E:/ts")
files.sort()
for f in files:
	if getSize(f) != 0:
		moveFile(f, "E:/ts/asd")

not sure if it's what you want but this will do the moving stuff and you should probably run it with you scheduler once in a while and correct the paths (tested on windows you should use slash and not backslash in pathes)

I'm using the find application in linux to do this. You need to check the last modified date. Make sure it hasn't been modifed for 5-10 minutes, then move it to make sure it is done. Either that, or check if there is a newer *.dem file in the same directory.

why and how a demo could get modified if it's not been overwritten? i guess the op is pretty sure he is always getting the fresh demo and not modified ones but anyway in different cases what you said might be required

By modified I mean when the demo is being updated. Each increment of demo causes a new modify date on the file. A demo file can never been overwritten because of unique name based on some factors.
