Just when I think I've got a format that works for Quake videos :)

Might give full commentary a go then and see how it works. While I'm posting, what are everyone's thoughts on the motion blur in this video?
For comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShBqodvHNLA (motion blur)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6gIOrTXXQk (no motion blur)

I use no motion blur in my half-life videos, but I find that it works quite nicely in Quake. I really notice the 30fps limit in Quake videos and the motion blur helps disguise it somewhat.

I know Spirit hates it :) Just curious what others think. 

err at not displaying the weapon and ammo bar :p 

I would hide all the ui but I suppose its nice to see my health as I play. 

Commentary may be nice on rare occasions, but I find it generally annoying in many playthrough videos (sometimes extremely so, especially if it's an on-the-fly one), and therefore suggest against it.

I dislike motion blue and always turn it off in games. Quake videos in particular do not benefit from it. Quite the contrary - it looks more like bad compression. I'm all for keeping it clean. 

quite distracting.

Re commentary: I would also prefer occasional comments about noteworthy things, like great architecture, lighting or outstanding combat situations. But only if they give additional insights. So definitely not on-the-fly commentary.

I think maybe what I want requires a different kind of video, kind of like a video review with in-depth analysis of the map's gameplay mechanics. I would be very interested in that, but I realize that it would be very time consuming. 

I just tried hitting the upvote button on sleepy's post. totally agree. might be nice to say "in this next room the author blah blah", maybe with some notarget noclip playthrough, and then "let's see how I manage it".

I do like first-run commentary where the player vocalises his feelings, impressions or explains his reactions. "die, you fucking fuck dog, Fuck!" gets boring really fast. I can't stand commentary where they swear all the time. 

and I don't need HUD - prefer it off for playthroughs, I think. 

but health and ammo display is important! you would not know why someone is retreating or wasting ammo otherwise. imo playthroughs should show exactly what the player himself saw/sees. 

upvoting Spirit right back! 

stop using highres textures too please. 

and upvote scampie 

I love seeing Daz somehow scrape through with 1% health as usual. 

HUD: Yes please.
Hi-res: No please.
Motion blur: No please.
"ello guys": Yes please.

Vid is set to private :) 

 

The wait was totally worth it. 

Anyone knows the command that put the death of monsters ok in darkplaces?

At the moment I kill a monster and disappears instantly :(

Can't see all death frames no idea why... :( 

Are you using a mod (possibly DPMOD) that has corpse removal? Try on ID1. Or any weird settings? Try with a clean config (delete config.cfg). 

negke if I delete config.cfg will screw all other setting I have :(

But guess is the only way.

thanks for the reply, I thought that was a easy command to fix it 

One had literally copied an entire comment from the Valhalla post on my site and tried to repost it on the same post... Stupid bots. 

40Mbp/s FTW :) 

Always enjoy your videos and no exception for this one! P.S. I dont know who made those textures but I bet he's a swell handsome guy. 

But seriously Starbuck, your textures are fantastic. They are the only textures I ever even consider using :)

Any chance you will ever finish the "set" for all the classic quake textures? /cheeky 

to be honest just one theme gave me a massive headache! Would be tempted by an original set at some point though, far easier on the old OCD.... :)
