Gorlax why did you bump this ancient thing.

I simply want to know how to make characters walk.

Heres a good example of what I want to do, if somone could show me how the script would look.

Portal Corp room, infront of Portal. Three characters materialize and walk down the pathway.

Simple right? Yea, tell me how.

Yay! Thanks! Looking forward to it.

Err I corrected my post.

It said: "the high quality version will not be available.

It should have said: the high quality version will now be available.

Give me a day, the files are being moved to a differant server. The good news is the HIGH quality version will now be available.

Thank you all who have sent me PMs and messages on AIM, it really feels good to know Ive contributed something worthwhile to the community.

How did you do the smooth rotations ?

[/ QUOTE ]

One of two ways to rotate the camera.

1. Hold the middle mouse button (or your mouselook button) and use the arrow keys.

2. Patience and a very steady hand using mouselook with the mouse. I cant count how many times I shot each of the "rotating" scenes. Around 10 captures for each scene I would guess. Either my hand would twitch, or my mouse would catch on the mousepad wrong, ect ect.

But if you are patient enough and have a steady hand you can make those rotating shots.

You might want to consider setting the rotate speed way down in the options, then using the keyboard. This should give a consistent rotation speed without the need for surgeon's hands.

Filmmakers use dollies for their panning shots instead of handheld cameras. Anything you can do to eliminate shakiness will help.

Yea this I know now. Thats the downside of being an artist (no matter the venue) you always learn things after the fact.

Like the first version of this video had small portions of the GUI visable, because I did not know you could set a button to turn it off completely.

Now that the second version is done, I realize how I can get super ultra smooth camera rotations. No big deal however, just means my next video will be that much better!

Nope. I don't like using a mouse. (I don't have any powers in my power trays, either, but that's more for fun.) I use q, e, r, f, -, and + (the last two on the numpad, with r, f, subtract, and add bound to +lookup, +lookdown, +zoomin, and +zoomout) to look around, with the default movement.

[/ QUOTE ]

Reminds me of the first time I played a FPS. I would run around with arrowkeys trying to aim and shoot people.

I noticed quickly other people were able to aim instantly and hit me. I was like, "What the hell - how can they get me so quickly?"

Needless to after a few more rounds I asked. I was told about the 'mouselook' option. OMG, I felt so silly trying to play a FPS with only my directional keys.

[ QUOTE ]
Regarding rotations, I've never made a video, but I don't use my mouse for anything other than teleporting and opening doors. The relevant commands (for binding or something) are lookup, lookdown, zoomin, zoomout, camrotate (with camrotate on, turnleft and turnright turn the camera around you rather than turning your character). /bind <key> +<command> will work just fine (camrotate is bound to pageup by default, but the other four need to be set up on their own).

Not sure about the arrow keys, but it wouldn't surprise me.

You can set the rate at which you rotate in options.

Whoa, you dont use mouselook at all?

Edit: Just for clarification I meant mouselook in my previous thread, not freelook.

Read the screenshot forum. They specifically ask you to place videos in there. What is more they have a sticky list of videos there if you contact Aura if you think your video is good.

I will blame you for being a big fat attention [censored] though since you asked

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I did make a thread there about the video, but I really wanted to get my video out to more people. Guess you got me there.

Moving this one up for the evening crew.

[/ QUOTE ]

When you make another one keep bumping it, i dont want to miss it loved both of them, even though they were basically the same lol

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually the second version was quite a bit differant. The song remained the same, as long as a few scenes, but I had to complete recapture all the footage, because the old footage had the GUI present. I also found out how to get higher quality compression.

Moving this one up for the evening crew.

Love your work but this is the wrong forum, neh?

[/ QUOTE ]

How is it the wrong forum? Is putting a video in the general forum about as messed up as putting a video in the screenshot forum?

Plus this forum gets far more traffic, cant blame me for wanting to get it out to more people.

I dont mind at all.

I really appreciate all the support, makes me want to get to work on another video as quick as I can.

I really look forward to seeing more of this kind of thing. That video was amazing!

---edit----

I think I'll make a AR/DE blaster now.
Good job for helping with the melee effect Geko and Jack Statesman, gave it a nice touch.

[/ QUOTE ]

For the record we have AR/Energy Blasters. While I do have a level 22 AR/Devices Blaster, I dont think his damage output comes anywhere close to our AR/Energy Blasters.

Hasten + Buildup = alot of dead stuff.

Also for the record, the actual developers did not help with the video, I just thought it would be funny to make them the "Stunt Doubles".

So Ive gotten a handful of /tells in game about what a great video, and gosh darnit, my wife gets like 30+ /tells. My wife keeps naggin me about all of them.

I did all the work!!!!

So I figure Ill make it worse on my wife and feed some fuel to the fire, I have added a picture of me & her to the original post...

Thanks once again for all the compliments.

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry, can't find the stunt doubles anywhere in the video.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heres a hint: Blasters arent very well known for thier melee abilities...

[ QUOTE ]
Hey I saw your other thread about camera angles but the links is 404 for me. Is it on my side?

[/ QUOTE ]

I had to take that small video down to make room for this one. Once I get a host for this video I can move it off my comcast server and put my other stuff back up.
