demopadr.exe is a tool by anotak for padding demos for vanilla compatibility during the demo reel when
you start doom. this is due to the revenant tracer desync issue.
for more information see this DoomWiki article.
demopadr is a commandline tool that runs on demo lmp files.
correct usage is:
demopadr <input> <output>
for this to work, all 3 demos in a wad must be padded. otherwise demos with revenants may still desync on vanilla/choco doom.
demopadr.exe requires .NET 3.5 or Mono. 3.5 is included in Windows 7 or above. If you're on Linux or OSX, it should work with Mono.
