darkhead_ The MoVie

Hello !! (Wouh I finaly can use the forum...)


I've just started a new movie of HL²DM.

You maybe know my old one (http://files.filefront.com/DarkheAd+nub ... einfo.html) but this wasn't really good for a first movie. Fraps using, middle quality, no story, frag not very impressive, linear video, etc...

But some weeks ago, I learnt here how to make better video. I really started yesterday. Actually, nothing has been really done except demos. =D

I actually have one screen which, I think, represents well the quality/size/etc of the future video.

What will be new ???

-A little story (but still no frag staged)
-Really better frags (still with out cheats, scripts, brightskins, bug using etc :p)
-Better quality !
-Better effects
-More maps
-Bigger size
-eRm

Actually, I've only made 17 seocnd of the new movie xD (See here (=>http://www.dailymotion.com/DarkHead/vid ... videogames but I'll erase useless things in those 17 sec. ^^) if you want in v.bad quality. ^^)

If you want to give me some advices or ideas, I'm listening to you. =)

I'll check it out as soon as I get home.

I like the overlay but I think it is too big and intrusive, maybe distracts from the real action. I would perhaps make it a bit smaller and place it in the bottom left more, so it is not covering your weapon. In the large full version, that graphic look even bigger.

Take a look at the LsD vid, I think they got the size perfect.

Looking forward to seeing final vid.

Hey WalkingTarget, my GraphicMasta made smaller overlay, I'll put a screen soon.

What do you mean?

Ah ok I see, thanks. Looks great, I hope my processor and my graphic card will be enough good.. =)

Holy you are so far up your own arse ^^ what kind of bs arrogant remark is that. Why not say, "Yes, looks good, but high res custom floor textures will make it look much better" - it's called tact.....

Hello,

I've download the holymolyguide and the video config by anX but I'd like to know two things:
-How can I center the ennemy name? (when you are aimimg this one, 'cause with the pack I've downloaded, it appears in the left down coner)
-How can I remove the kills notification?

Thanks =)

1. hud_centerid 1
2. hud_deathnotice_time 0

I try to encourage people to leave death notice in.

I like seeing who is getting fragged.

Thanks Seagull ! =D

I'm agree with you Walking, all the video I see with out death notice are so frustrating..

I'm searching for an idea.. Maybe put an another graphic death notice in a left top corner.. Of to leave a graphic death notice at the right but with using a centered "id".

seagul your knowledge is consistently impressive man!

and yeh I also prefer vids where you can see who is getting fragged. Gatmans being the peak of this imo cuz all his frags are from team matches.....

That said I think the replacement kill graphics sum ppl use add a nice quality touch...

QUESTION:
Is there any way to change the text colour on the kill notification?

I know you can change various things with the HUDLayout.res but not sure if THAT can be done.

If so you could maybe change the text colour and add a new funkier graphic in-beween names, or over your name and the weapon pic?

I made for ages, a new font for this death notice inwhich I just added a little word for each weapon. For exemple.. Hemmm ... It was written "RambOStyL" under the shotgun when a shotgun kill had been made. =)

But maybe you want something different. x)

Ontis HUD remover is nice, it takes all the other stuff off and leaves the death notice, you can probably change the death notice with a custom HUD, but I don't know much about all this stuff to give details sorry.

seems everything has been answered so far.
Any doubt ask me =P (I would have replied but was on a trip for some days).
For some reason the "movie" config moves the id to the left... I had the same problem with that.
if you wish to remove the death notices and the hud ....no need for anything fancy, just write cl_drawhud 0 in console and everything will be removed.

Ok thanks Onti ^^ It'll be faster ^_^

I'm actually making the slave job.. Watch every demos in speed time, burn my eyes, select the good frags.. Lots of demos are waiting.. -_-' Video is coming soon (12.12.2012)

(my brain is actually trying to understand the smoother video (dl on valvewiki) to make like a spectator mode(eg. to follow a nade..) -_-')

demo smoothing? that's not hard...just a pain in the ass.
There is a really good tutorial done by infected productions. It's originally for css, but works the same for hl2dm.
I'll give you the link, but the page seems to be down for the moment =/
