Hi all,

cl_demoviewoverride appears to work. Set it to 1 and load the demo,
then close demoui (or demoui2) if it is open. WASD will now work, and
the mouse will semi-work, being extremely choppy. I wasn't able to
pull up the player list, however kill notifications do display with
player names. Text chat (no voice) also displays player join/leave
messages and player chats, but I don't think I saw any plugin messages
show up in any of my demos.

Hope it helps,
Ian
