Missing features

Missing features compared to CSGO (May 08, 2025)

HLAE

• Limited layer system (you can only record the game and depth layer at the same time, there is no layers such as viewmodel, world, particles etc)
• To disable flashbang overlay: mirv_noflash 1
• No mirv_calcs (you can't lock camera to a weapon)
  but seems like it will be implemented someday: https://github.com/advancedfx/advancedfx/issues/873
• mirv_aim is not released, but you can try the beta: https://github.com/advancedfx/advancedfx/issues/976
• mirv_fov is not released, but you can try the beta: https://github.com/advancedfx/advancedfx/blob/main/misc/mirv-script/src/snippets/mirv_script_fov.ts
  this command allows you to change FOV without disabling scope's zoom animation
• No mirv_pov (POV with realistic HUD)
• No skinchanger for demos
• Can't replace player models in demos

Game (cinematics related)

• Can't replace sky (but you can do it on post using depth and camera -> tutorial)
• Can't move shadows/sun
• No on-the-screen console
• Events command was deleted (demo_listimportantticks)
• Skins visibility command was deleted (cl_custom_material_override)
• Brightness value command was deleted (mat_force_tonemap_scale)

Game (fake demo related)

• weapon_recoil_scale was deleted (you need to control spray manually now)
• You can't respawn bots by holding a button anymore
  to respawn bots you need to either restart the game (mp_restartgame 1) or enable auto-respawn (this way bots will automatically respawn, until you disable auto-respawn and restart the game)
• mat_fillrate was deleted (you can't disable white screen flashbang creates anymore)
• r_cleardecals was deleted (you can't clear decals anymore)
• No free bot mimic plugin (paid version: https://scl.gg/article/79)
• No damage multiplier plugin
• No weapons cleaner plugin
• No esp plugin
