Xonotic Community Fragmovie - Promo -

Im looking forward to it

And imo it doesn't really matter who you kill, in a fragmovie it should just matter HOW you kill someone. Frags made on public servers can just be as awesome in a movie as ones made in pickup games.

PCL's Farewell Nexuiz movie for example contained for 90% frags made on public servers. Did that make it a bad movie? Absolutely not.

Got ANOTHER demo pack coming your way if your on later ZeRoQL

P.S Some of mine are from public too, but majority of them are from duel/TDM games.

Also, noticed your put you will use standard effect script. Can you atleast include the red mortar trail, really it make's it a lot lot easier to see them in a video with all the details on high.

Why 60fps? And why a computer display resolution instead of some standard video resolutions?

60fps for smoothness, its not problem to make 30fps version.Every video today is HD, nobody make SD videos... i mean cmon

I think he was asking why you picked a res with 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 16:9 like most movies do (1680x945 in this case).

Coz my monitor resolution max is 1680x1050, and i dont want to make 720p since it will be lower quality, i want this movie to be high quality

If scene need red mortar trail then i will put it for sake of frag

Hm, I see. Unless you manage to trick your drivers, the only way to render at a resolution larger than your screen's is to use software rendering (vid_soft 1). Then you can capture video in windowed mode even if the window overflows from your display, I think. But it would be slower than usual rendering, I guess...

Great idea! Just do

Code:

./xonotic-linux-sdl -window -width 1920 -height 1080

and you got fullhd no matter what your monitor supports :-). Or... hell this could do 4xHD also :-D.

note: this works on my machine with normal hardware accelerated rendering, not only software

You think it works because you can't see what your monitor isn't showing you. Try taking a screenshot, it will be the right size but it will be empty on the parts that lie outside of your screen. Same problem with video.

the quality is depends on the bitrate not the resolution

for me 16:10 is better, even for you guys who have 4:3 monitors

yeah especially when the resolution of your video is higher then the native resolution of your monitor

I got a good frag, but I don't think my computer can handle recording it with good graphics and quality, can I just send the demo?

It is demo based submission K__ anyway, so just send the demo and the time of the frag

I made a last second flag save and flag run on antibody today, if you're interested.

I thought you might be right on this, so I checked - and it works ok, vide the screenshots.

Recording video also works ok, so I guess it's another proof of the awesomeness of Darkplaces engine ;-].

Heh. It didn't work for me and div confirmed to me that Darkplaces had no support for this... I guess I must have formulated my question to him wrongly.

Maybe it's hardware-dependant.

Hmm... maybe. I got a Radeon and I'm using fglrx on OpenSUSE 64bit. What GPU do you have?

GeForce 9600 GT with nvidia driver.

So it's probably dependent on the hardware or driver used.

OT, but in this can, it HAS to be a driver issue, because with NVidia I get the cropped screenshot too.

It might be hardware-related and not driver-related.

I don't think it's OT, since we're discussing this for production anyway.

Can I suggest a name for the movie? , parhaps "shivers"

Bläh, me no gusta "Killing Xzone" xD, but what the heck majority is majority

21-Monday-2012 - last day to send demos! after that movie is in progress!
