Hi!
I’ve been playing with demo the last few days, but I just cant smooth demos. I tried looking for tutorials in youtube and alike and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fXm9QucYFs
Everything is ok, but when I try to “Process” it my game crashes (you know, that “Dont Send” windows error). It only “Processed” without crashing once, and that was with only 2 cameras (keys). If anyone could explain me why this shit happpens I’d be grateful :)
I think you have to turn off multicore support when smoothing/recording. Not sure though.
yeah I had the same problem, so annoying when all that work is lost.
for some reason it helped when I saved the smoothing demo before I press process.
disable gibs when doing it iirc. Using more’s cfg with disabled gibs (dunno the command :S) worked for me.
Thanks, Extremer! Disabling multicore helped me :)
It’s kinda off-topic, but I didnt want to make a new thread:
How do you make that only kills are shown from the hud? That is all other parts of hud is disabled, but not that uper-right corner.
Download this http://files.filefront.com/hudzrar/;13036938;/fileinfo.html (courtesy of ProjectJh) to disable everything but killmessages, instructions are inside.
Thanks a lot! I have one mroe question for now:
If I try to record a 1280×1024 200FPS (host_framerate 200) demo with command (startmovie xxxx avi) and full framerates I get… uhmmm… dont know how to describe it. The video is like stuck and all greenish or smth. I tried to compress it with ffsdshow codec but it didnt help a bit. Anyone can help me on that?
P.S.: My monitor only handles 60FPS at 1280×1024 (60Hz refresh rate).
Usually the case is that mediaplayers can’t handle files of such enormous size and that’s why it comes out all weird…try opening the file with virtual dub and compressing it with xvid or some similar codec to check if it works fine.
I tried to compress it with ffsdshow (or smth like that) codec. Even tried to load ir to Vegas and still- 1frame greenish bullshit…
put it in virtual dub, then save as
it will fix bugs with codecs since source engine isnt rly perfect in making movies straight off…
or u can save everything in pictures(.tga) and put together with movie maker software
Also when you are using Virtual dub, remember to press ctrl+r to change the framerate to what you recorded with. I’ve had that problem a lot!
I noticed that filming with this method (FullFrames->VirtualDub->SonyVegas) is quite long and takes up amazing amount of space.
I’ve tried few codecs while filming demos ingame (ffdshow, XviD, MJPEG) but they either dont open up in Sony Vegas or gets laggy. Can anyone tell me witch codek I should use? Or is the method above is the best? o.O
