Half-Life Advanced Effects (HLAE) is a collection of powerful tools to enrich GoldSrc (Half-Life 1, Counter-Strike 1.6, Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat..) engine based movie making. You can apply various effects to the frames while capturing demos.

Using this tool, you can capture your in-game demos in the best quality, using various options.
If you wish to learn how to record demos, go to this guide.

  • Be aware of hard disk space requirements for long videos. It's easy to chew through gigabytes as every game frame takes a lot of space. You can calculate how much disk space you're going to need for your video by using the built-in file size calculator inside HLAE.
  • The HLAE tool is technically a hack, therefore you should use it for making movies / watching demos only. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO JOIN SERVERS.
  • Capturing a demo with this tool might take a while, so it's only recommended to use it for serious videos. If you want to make a short clip, consider using other software, such as Fraps instead.

Once you have downloaded the tool, launch it. A blank window will appear. To launch the game, you'll need to configure the tool to run at your desired settings. Go to File -> Launch. A configuration window will appear.

  • If your demos were recorded using a mod (e.g. HLSP BunnyMod or Adrenaline Gamer), in the Modification section choose Other modification: and write the folder name of the mod (e.g. hlspbunny, ag, decay and so on..).

Once you're done configuring, click the Launch button to start Half-Life.

Once you launch Half-Life (or your mod) using HLAE, follow these steps to capture the demos. Before recording, you need to set the framerate, post-processing effects and other options using console commands. Here's a list of required commands before starting the demo recording.

  • mirv_movie_filename - sets the location of recorded files (e.g. mirv_movie_filename C:\HLAE\hlstuff)
  • mirv_movie_fps - sets the framerate (e.g. mirv_movie_fps 60 will record your demos at 60fps)
  • mirv_movie_bmp - set it to 1 if you want to use BMP files instead of TGA.
  • mirv_movie_export_sound - set to 1 if you want to export a WAV sound file of your demo (sound will not get recorded any other way).

HLAE offers a wide variety of [post-processing] effects, such as motion blur, zooming and even object tracking.


Sampling is a feature which samples frames and creates a motion-blur effect.
  • mirv_sample_enable - set to 1 if you want HLAE to add sampling to your frames (motion blur).
  • mirv_sample_sps - samples per second. Bigger value will increase the strength of motion blur (e.g. mirv_movie_sps 180)
  • NOTICE: Capturing demos with sampling enabled will highly increase the capturing time.

If you need to zoom into something, you can do it with a few simple commands.

  • mirv_zoom_digital - Digital zoom, will zoom everything, even the game GUI.
  • mirv_zoom_optical - Optical zoom, will only zoom game's view.
  • mirv_zoom_speed <number>


Object Tracking feature allows the camera to track a certain entity in a demo. This will only work on HLTV-type demos.

  • IMPORTANT: To work with this feature, you'll have to use viewdemo instead of playdemo; otherwise, camera modes will NOT work.
  • mirv_aim_onlyvisible - If set to 1, the entity will not be tracked if it's not visible (behind a wall or so).
  • mirv_aim_snapto - Perfect tracking of the entity.

You can easily replace the map's skybox with another one to fit your movie.

In the HLAE window, go to Tools -> Sky Manager.
A window will open up where you can add BMPs from your custom skybox and export them to the game.

When that is finished, go back to the game and use a command mirv_fx_skyhd to activate the custom skybox.

  • mirv_recordmovie_start - starts capturing the demo
  • mirv_recordmovie_stop - stops capturing the demo.

Simply play your demo (using playdemo or viewdemo) and hit your recording-start button. Once the demo is done playing, hit the recording-stop button. Recording will NOT stop automatically.

I have used it before, and it worked fine. but I deleted it cuz; my anti-virus says its a virus and removes it (I clicked on the "keep" thing so thats how Ive used it). And my pc blue screened once when I had it (has never done it before I downloaded hlae).

And I did download it from their website AND I AM SURE OF IT.

I had the same problem and solved it by adding the .exe as an exception into my Anti Virus (I use Kaspersky) as i know that it is not a virus.

Note: Never forget the start value -insecure when working with hlae. If you forget and join an VAC secured Server you will be banned!
