the "action snap" could record 5 seconds before the death or kill and 10 seconds after the death it could record as a demo file it will be very usefull and more cool than a just screen shot :D

That's what auto-demo does, check your setup. You can set how long it will record too somehow..  Soldat.ini   Record_Time=

Autodemo isn't exactly what he (and actually me too) wants. The good thing about action snap is that it snaps the main action, nothing before that, nothing after. Just the moment of pwn. But then it's a still picture, which isn't really fun..

With autodemo you can't always catch that moment.
For example, first 4 minutes of  what autodemo recorded might be boring, and then something fun happens and you press F8 to save the autodemo. So it saves that fun moment INCLUDING the first 4 minutes of boredom.
Or another example - some major carnage is going on on the screen. You think "I wanna capture it all, I'll wait til it's over and save the demo". And then suddenly autodemo's record-time runs out, it deletes the current demo and starts recording from scratch.

I wanted action snap to act like autodemo ever since this feature was announced. Too bad it turned out to just save screenshots.
Big F12.
