Ok here I go!
(took me awhile to go through my bookmarks, phuh...)
I've noticed that your reformed question a bit, so I make this a larger post, this information might be usefull for others out there
There's three different options on how to make your Demo/Video. (that i know of)
- 1. There's an ingame console command which will create a .tga sequence, allthough this will lower your FPS, so i wouldn't recommend it
Code: Select all
cl_avidemo 1 (to turn it on)
cl_avidemo 0 (to turn off)
- 2. You can use screencapturing program like Camstasiaor Fraps, which will capture your screen while playing. One problem though, you'll have to play in 800x600 and your fps will be less then 10, yuk!
Someone mentioned something about Vdubwhich will have no effect on your fps, but i havent tried it out.
- 3. This is the best and probably the most expensive one..
If you got a DV camera you can connect that to your TV-out card and record straight from your computer... no lag
Afterward you can edit your movie in Adobe Premiere ($800) or such... best quality!
Usefull Console Commands
Code: Select all
bind INS "toggle fps" //self-explanatory
bind DEL "toggle cg_lagometer" //toggles compass on & off
bind END "hudoff" //monitors your frames per second
This only works serverside so you wont be able to take it off if you dont know the person who runs the server. Although if you're running your own server (wanna make a cool demo of your new map) you can edit the
'Localization.txt' file. The best way is to create a folder and name it
'global', put this folder into your
Main folder. Next step is to get the
'Localization.txt' file from your
'Pak0.pk3' . Put this into your
'global' folder. Okay so far so good...
Now open
'Localization.txt' in your texteditor and search for "Press fire to join". You'll find two (2) lines of the same and it will look something like this:
Code: Select all
{ "Press fire to join the battle!" "Press fire to join the battle!"}
Now what you have to do is to change the second line, which is the right one. Delete it and leave the ""
It would look like this:
Code: Select all
{ "Press fire to join the battle!" ""}
Thats it! Start your server and nothing will apear when in Spectate mode.
