Yes! I was having a devil of a time aligning the two versions of the video using D_R's suggestion. Even with the pulsation, this is acceptable and much easier. Thanks, Scuzz!

FYI - Balshor's Demo Editor has its own launcher built in, and it has the same option. I like both editors, but for different tasks.

Ok... Ok... Yeah, that could work...

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, the stealth/invisibility FX don't work in demo playback. I remember Leo coming up with a way to make a toon totally invisible, but I need a partial transparency effect, and I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a clever workaround.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?

OK, here's a few that I haven't seen on the list:

Birthday - The Cruxshadows (I'm working on a CoX vid for this now)

Even better (listen to the lyrics: "Into the silence will you answer; Before the chaos will you come; Do not injustice to another; Defend the weak and innocent; Let truth and honor always guide you; Let courage find the light within; Stand up when no one else is willing; Act not in hatred nor in spite; Be to this world as a perfect knight; Even if it means you life.")

Sophia - The Cruxshadows

I'm also planning to do a CoX vid for Learn To Fly by the Foo Fighters. (Ignore the silly intro on this vid.) Gotta get that travel power and those wings, ya know?

Hmmmm, that might work. I actually want to show several days wizzing by, but since the toon is standing still, I can just do one day/night sequence and repeat it. I'll experiment with the time increment and see if I can get it to look halfway smooth.

Thanks!

Well, if I can't get the sun & moon to move, that that idea is a bust...

Thanks.

OK... This may all be moot. The moon isn't moving at all in my playback. Is that a known bug or have I stumbled across something new? Or is it just me (video card, video settings, etc.)?

I'm afraid that I already know the answer to this one, but I have to ask just in case...

Is there any way to speed up the playback of demo with respect to game-time-of-day? In other words, can I make the sun/moon track through the sky faster?

I'm trying to do a time-lapsed effect, with time wizzing by while the character stands still. I know I can do it by speeding up the clip in my video editor, but I'd rather avoid creating that 30+ minute video to start with.

Any thoughts?

I'm storyboarding a music vid and I'd like a scene with a toon looking at their reflection - something like a mirror or a reflection in glass/water. Has anyone been able to do this in CoX? I suppose I could add it as an FX in post, but if it is available in-game (more importantly, in demo playback!) then I can save myself some trouble.

Thanks in advance!

Ah, he seeks to torment our dear D_R.

But at least he torments with intelligence, honesty and sincerity. Unlike a certain GameTrailers cretin... So, all in all, things are looking up. Right, D_R?

BTW - I saw a great t-shirt at DragonCon:

"If YouTube MySpace then I'll Google your Yahoo."

'Gratz, 8Baller! Well deserved, too.

OK, so the screwup is that Gametrailers.com still says "so tune into GTTV on September 12th to find out who wins a brand new 2009 Toyota Matrix...".

OK, Today's GTTV episode was supposed to announce the contest winner. No surprise - There wasn't any mention of it.

NCSoft doesn't develop, it publishes.

Minor clarification: CoX was developed by Cryptic and published by NCSoft. However, Cryptic sold the development function to NCSoft, and NCSoft hired almost all of the CoX developers from Cryptic, forming NCNC. So, actually, NCSoft *does* develop *now*.

So unless Jack was the driving force behind the demoedit functionality (which I doubt), I don't see it continuing in other Cryptic games. YMMV...

LOL - Being an underachiever is sooooo much easier.

Lower your altitude (Z) by a few thousand and the clouds won't appear.

My, but wouldn't it have been nice to wait just 3 day and announce this at DRAGON*CON. It would have been extra cool opposite NCSoft's demo of Champions Online...

Oh, and count me also as disappointed that there are STILL no fixes/enhancements to bases. Shame on you, devs. Shame on you.

Oh. I see now. I guess you could also move the original command code into the arguments field, and then set the command to NUL.

You can use the NUL command and put your comments (in quotes) in the arguments portion.

Yeah, Tommy Boy's been banned for some time now. But his alter ego, Dwight, is still carrying on.

Knowing full well that the DwightTroll will read this and use it in his cyberstalking...

Where is a Ring of Power when you need to lure a Gollum into the Cracks of Doom?

LOL

Ditto.

Ash, I've got some free time this weekend (my LadyWyfe is going out of town for the weekend). I'll PM and see what we can work out.

I'm only going there now so that I can earn enough points to get a GameTrailers t-shirt...

LOL
