You can pick which of these to use by adding -project to the command line in addition to demoplay. For example, if you use "-project cohbeta -demoplay demoname", it will use the graphics settings that you have for your Beta install, regardless of which client you actually use to play it back.

You're not limited to the existing names, either. You can abuse this to create predefined graphics settings to use. For example, I use "-project hq" for my high-quality settings, which live in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\HQ"

BP already answered, but I'm guessing that's a placeholder, since the plaque under it goes on and on about thanking Senor Omnomnom for his "Glorious Contributions"...

Now pan over to the Imperial City skyline.

Unfortunately it doesn't do too well in the next set of storylines, being overrun with DE and all. If Imperial City somehow survived and Hami was defeated, I would totally want to live there.

Updated the above link to version 1.01, a minor release which fixes the controls not showing up on Windows XP, fixes the background color on XP to match the controls if they would have showed up, and also fixes one of the icon resolutions having bad transparency.

Thanks, figuring out all the matrix math to come up with sane PYR values was interesting. There's still a few edge cases where roll flips over to -0 at some angles, but it's just a display issue and the numbers should work fine in demo files.

Fun fact, you can tell how much the feature was refined in between Issue 23 and 24 by doing this test:

1. Play a demo with the Issue 23 client and hit F2 to enable freelook. Turn the camera straight up. Notice how it won't let you go past a 90 degree angle, and also how the camera gimbal-locks around the Y axis when the pitch is high.

2. Do the same thing with the Issue 24 client. Notice how you can now pitch all the way around continuously, and also how much smoother and more natural the control feels at high angles.

The old behavior is probably a lot more in line with PYR representation used in demorecords, but the new method definitely feels a lot better for zooming around a zone. That does mean that there are a few obscure camera angles and moves you can do that can't be cleanly represented in a demo, but Cameraman takes the transform matrix and generates a PYR that's as close as it can get.

That's a really good idea, and shouldn't be too hard to implement. A "flight path recorder" of sorts.

I'm thinking leave the program's sample rate where it is on the main screen, and allow the user to configure a save rate for the output file. So if you set it to save 1 camera location per second, it would still gather 10 per second and average them together before saving to reduce jitter. Kind of a user-configurable path smoothing.

And some screenshots:




Yes, that slider does exactly what you think it does... Lets you speed up the sluggish demo camera all the way to Ludicrous Speed! Told you that you'd like it.

You can use ALT+C as a keyboard shortcut for the "Copy camera position/facing in demorecord format" button.

*LOL*

My thoughts exactly when I read the OP.

Some guy on the internet told me Bill Gates was going to give me a bunch of money if I forwarded an email, too.

Yeah, it's just offscreen of the pic that I quoted. If you could pan just a little to the left, that's where it's sitting atop a ground-level helipad.

The scale and everything of it makes it look like one of that ones that's used for Black Helicopter transit points.

Somebody else may have posted some too, but if you're talking about the screenshots I posted, I self-nuked a bunch of stuff when we found out that aragonpay tudiosay people were in egotiationsnay.

You know, to make life easier for the mods if the forums ended up staying open or being copied somewhere. Figured those who saw it got a time-limited special peek.

Now that it looks like these forums will be going away one way or another, it probably matters less.

Given the Arachnos Flyer parked right next to this second hospital, I'm thinking a co-op or otherwise mixed zone was a definite possibility.

Mmm, cranberry rivers.

It's someone with GM and/or server admin access spawning the zone manually, and presumably hanging out long enough for players to notice and enter it.

So far no one has claimed credit or managed to ascertain the identity of the mystery benefactor.

Repulsion Field uses Replace stacking, not Ignore stacking, so every 0.5 seconds it replaces the previous KB effect with a new one. The 0.75 second duration will only come into play once an entity is knocked far enough away to no longer be in range of the half second pulses.

Interestingly, and bringing to mind a previous discussion, Repulsion Field's KB with a duration is Cur, whereas something like Force Bolt uses Abs KB.

Perhaps so, but that doesn't mean we have to make it easy for them.

Depending on how stubborn they are over the next two months, this could very well end up being a Pyrrhic victory for NCsoft.

I'm not sure when it was broken, but the old Faultline and Galaxy City (the real one, not the Echo) no longer have a working auto-kick. You can safely log in a character parked there and run around in those zones.

The co-op wedding event zone does still auto kick, and if you logged out there the character select will say 'Ouroboros', but you'll be booted to Atlas / Mercy within a few seconds of zoning in.

Warshades can take the Flight pool on beta.

That reminds me...

Essence of the Furries

That is all.

I don't think there's a quad XP event that already exists, and no devs to add the code for one.

They've also said they don't want to go completely crazy with stuff like level bumps, free purples, etc. They want to keep the database "sane", just in case. Cause you never know what could happen.

I ... I agree 100% with a Johnny_Butane post.

It truly is the apocalypse.

Edit: And I laughed out loud at actual steam valve. You're a pretty funny guy when you're not worried about Tankers. :P
