[Autorecorder] Unable to start recording

[Skeletor]

I've tried starting a recording with both console commands "sm_record" and/or using the sourcemod function ServerCommand(). sm_autorecord_pathfmt is set to "%f/demos/auto-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-%l-%q".

However I'm getting the following error:

Unable to start recording (error: "Failed to start a recording (path: "left4dead/demos/auto-20231106-191950-l4d_vs_hospital05_rooftop-82029.dem")") L 11/06/2023 - 19:19:50: [autorecorder.smx] Unable to start recording (by: Console<0>, error: "Failed to start a recording (path: "left4dead/demos/auto-20231106-191950-l4d_vs_hospital05_rooftop-82029.dem")")

If you're on a linux, then make sure your game process has a write permission to write into a path thats generated using your pathfmt setting. Having (rwxr-x--x/0751, umask 022) on your mod folder should be enough.

See utils: chown, chmod, umask.

Yep that did the trick

idk what game process means, does it means srcds_run or srcds_linux? And What should i need to do to the folders

[shqke]

Game process as in user under which it is ran, - said user should have permissions to write into a specified folder.

You could recursively change ownership (chown) to a specific user, then set permissions (chmod, also recursively) to a mod folder. Refer to respective manual page for each command usage.
