Vorac

I like the size of the player, looks good. Noticed a little bit of compression woes, but much better than a lot of the sites out there.

I don't use Fraps, so not sure if it does it, but ZDSoft let's you force a recording framerate. I got mine set at 30, that way it will only drop down to about 25 at the lowest, but still able to go up past 30.

Also, turn Everything off!

Leave only your Windows System stuff, Demo Launcher and Fraps. No IM's, music, video, AV or Spyware, no torrents, turn it all off.

Also, run CCleaner, defrag, make sure drivers are updated, etc.

Remember that this is just a midgrade card, not meant to run high end graphics. So you might have to drop some of the graphics settings on the advanced tab as well.

/end Shego possesion......

If I remember right, there are some fx sounds in the fansite kits.

So, uh, Neutra................. you done with yours yet?

Everyone hates the sound of their own voice.....period!

Back when I was in a band, when we were recording, the vocals always took the longest because the lead and backup vocalists were never satisfied by what they sang.

So, just record it! If your better half says it's good, then be satisfied with that and let it roll!!!

It shouldn't matter so much what you sound like, but the content of what you say that should count. Heck, Kevin Costner still has a job...........

* edit nvm, I remembered it differently than what it actually was.....

Even though killing via fire attacks itself IS in game?

Technically, no one actually dies. They just get beaten unconscious and teleported to the hospital or to jail to recover.

Let's see, last time I did Trig............ 1988......

Now I just need to trim down the first sequence I have shot without cutting something too much.

Ya, I hate that. It's like writing a 300 page novel and only being able to use 100 words......

Ok, finally got a response!

To whom it may concern,

We (the player base of CoH that will be participating in this contest) would like to get a little clarification on some of the rules. Notably the following:

· any content which endorses or condones illegal drug use or alcohol abuse;

· any nudity, profanity or violence;

· any display of physical injury, death or property damage or conduct or activity that could cause physical injury or property damage or that is reasonably likely to do so;

All of the above highlighted items are contained within the game. Are we allowed to use the game content that contains these items?

It just seems like it would be a real boring competition if we can use all the game mechanics to "Show Your Dark Side".

Please help clarify these items for us so we can start filming.


Thanks for your time,

The rules do say that "excluding the game content" those things are prohibited. You can use any of the game footage, even if it contains those things.

So lay that Frag down on some Hellions!!!

I remember a while ago, someone was looking for a way to blue/greenscreen stuff in game.

Anyway, found a map that has a complete blue background. Just need to edit the map line to this:

0 0 Map maps/Missions/Abandoned_Office/Abandoned_Office_01/Abandoned_Office_01_Layout_01.txt


If your movie editor can do bluescreen, this is the way to go

Found it accidentally while searching for a specific mission map.

Well, I sent them an email to clarify the rules on In-Game violence, property damage and whatnot.

So, hopefully I will get a response soon.

So no Creative Commons music or royalty free music?

PS - Incidentally, I just sent an email to GameTrailers asking them for clarification on the music stuff. Let's see if we get an answer...

[/ QUOTE ]


You can always ask an artist to use or have them make you something that you will be able to use. Just give them credit. Free name plugging FTW!!!

[ QUOTE ]
One of my questions is the same as Star_Dancer's:

Are we allowed to use either a) royalty-free music, or b) music that we have received copyright permission to use?



[/ QUOTE ]


Somewhere in the rules, it states that the "Sponser" (GT tv) will here after own all rights to said video. So if whoever you got that music from, they would no longer hold any rights to that song, get any royalties from, or be able to reproduce it as their own without legal ramifications from "Sponser". Also stated within, you wont be able to sue "Sponser" to get the rights back for that material.

So, you can use it, as long as the artist(s) are willing to part with that song forever.



*this comes from 10 years in a band dealing with copyright and trademark laws for samples, giving our music to event announcements as a background theme, cover tunes, and whatnot.

IMO Demorecording actually is "in-game". It is just the game running with a different set of arguments.

[/ QUOTE ]


Creating a video using the game engine is part of the Machinima definition.

So, everyone BUT DR can use demorecord.......... /e plot



But, ya, I would really like a clarification on to the whole violence and use only in game material.......

hehe, really covering their collective butts here.....

I'm open most evenings except Wed. (Doing our own filming those nights). I'll usually be home around 5-6 pacific, and will be available till roughly 10 pac.

So if you cant get a hold of me in game, PM me here as I check the forums on a regular basis.

Haha, Ash...

Now that I think of it, though, I need to ask Ex Libris if I can please get my "Videographer - Just here for footage" title back again...

That should come with the complimentary "I Win" button. So if you're getting some footage in RV, and some pwner thinks he's getting a free kill..........I WIN!!!!

And the native format is 1280x960, and comes in at a hefty 400Mb. The smallest 640x480 i could manage is 26.5Mb. Still both are better than YouTube's compression.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know my weekly upload at Vimeo is 500Mb. So you might try that one.

[ QUOTE ]
What about something for the rest of us ...

[/ QUOTE ]


You get Candies and a CoH Shoe-Horn.

Nice Job!


*for hosting, try Wegame or Vimeo. They allow fairly large uploads. Anything over 500meg you might wanna try Filefront.

I can throw Vorac's Bane into this.

Ok, so I concede that I will never, ever get to play with bases on anything like the scale shown in this thread, and that breaks my heart, but seriously now. How are you filling those pools with what looks like real water?!

Hell, beyond that there's a hundred things I could ask about the Green Room alone...

[/ QUOTE ]

The water effect is made by placing a slow field (craftable item on the basic table) and floating it (see Magic Desk sticky)

Be sure that you have water effects enabled in your graphics menu to view them.
