Need Help figuring out something with Screenies.

I was at a friends house a few months ago. He wasn't actually logged into the game, but had his Main Scrapper in Atlas 'Under the Ball' on his screen. He told me to check something out.

He hit a few keys and suddenly 2 images of his Main were now on either side of my Main Tank. At first, I thought he may actually be ingame, but then I realized he doesn't have access to my account.

How is this possible? He is able to display any character, in any map or zone by using location commands, but is offline while doing it.

I am interested in knowing how, so I can start making group pics and stuff for my art collection.

Thanks in advance for the help on this.

(He says there is a thread aboout it somewhere on these forums, but for the life of me I can't get Search to work worth a crap. If someone knows about this thread a link would help.)

I don't understand why you haven't asked him how to do it.

It was probably a demoedit.

I assume that is demo editing.
Using proper codes and a demo editor, anything is possible.

omg hax0r :P

I did ask him, but he just smugly grinned at me. Yeah, he's a bit on the sarcastic/smug side and he thinks it's funny to not tell me and keep watching me go nuts trying to figure out what he did.

To clarify: He was pulling images of Ghost Widow and putting her in the collage under Atlas Ball with all the heroes from our accounts and friends accounts. At one point, he had my main villain and main hero, along with Statesman, GW, and LR all under Atlas Ball in this picture.

Ok, so I've heard of demoediting before. I am under the impression that demoediting only records what you do ingame.

If Demoedit is how he did this, is there a tutorial someone could link to for me to learn please?

Yes, there are plenty. Demoediting is a fine art, one which has brought us genius videos of music and silliness. If you search Youtube for some you'll find there are a lot that were made with demoediting.

Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
Repurposed

Here's a demoedit of a few of the villains from my VG.

I moved the camera back and threw in some heavies.

That's probably what your friend did. (Although he sounds like a dick instead of a friend to me.)

Well, I talked to him about this last night. He says he is not Demoediting and that Demoedit does not do what it was that he did.

Although he is a good friend, yeah I agree, he is a dick. He's double talking and keeping what he did more of a secret than the answer to the Sphinx's Riddle.

I see in the above links that it looks like what he did on the screen, except it was all of our Heroes and Villains together with Ghost Widow and Statesman.

Does Demoedit allow you to pose any character you want, in any map location, even Signature Heroes/Villains and friends characters from other accounts? If so, then he is still jerking me around by saying Demoedit isn't what he did.

Without Demoediting, how would he be doing this?

---

Yes, demoediting can do that. Demoediting can do almost anything.

Edit: Look at this demoedit.

Yes demoedit can do that.

It can also let you use i.e. Statesman and make him a stone tank, or take anyone's character and make him 20 ft high.

He would have had to previously recorded a demo with your friends in it in order to get their costume settings to copy though, as far as I understand. Or just really good memory to duplicate them manually. I don't think he can pull that info from some random account though. That would be a huge security breach i would thing. :P

Its really amazing what people can do with demo editting. Demo-recording simply records, editting enables you to change whats going on in the demorecording

He was switching out costumes for different slots, including a costume I had just made the night before and hadn't shown anyone yet, so there couldn't have been a previous Demorecording. As far as breaching security, he's not even connected to a server or even on the internet when he does this, so I don't think so.

That is what is bugging me about him saying he didn't use Demoedit. He seems to be able to call forth the image of anyone he has a name for, and use a costume from one of their costume slots. This doesn't sound possible in Demoedit, from what I'm reading here.

Then a post like ^^^ is made and it all goes out the window.

Is there something else he may be doing?

You can do just about anything with them provided you have the model info, the move/effects name, and map name that the demorecords use.

Here is most of the NPC model names
