iggi Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 Has the feature been squeezed in for the release? I thought that that could be one of the reasons for the delay. That and possibly TCP/IP. If it is in, can we see a continuous movie at the gamers net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 You wouldn't be able to play beta movies with the old beta demo anyways. If you could we would have posted some but until someone gets us a Camera capture utility which allows us to make movies in-game in .mov or .mpg format there's nothing we can do.

Colin Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 If either or you are using a Mac or someone is testing on a Mac I know how you can do it. Drop me a line for more info. This is fun following along as Fionn posts. ------------------ Visit my webpage! http://cm4mac.tripod.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 . Actually I use a bloody PC ;(.. I tried to use Hypercam but it wouldn't work and I can't figure out why not... So, any PC software to record CM movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbg2112 Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 Hmmmm..... Unless I'm not fully awake, Fionn seems to be kinda "cagey" in his response. He talks about how they can't seem to make movies in a standard format using third-party tools, which might suggest that the game doesn't have this feature. But, since he doesn't actually say anything about the feature itself, one could get the impression that this feature is in, it's just that they can't put "MOTD's" on TGN because you'd need a current build of the game to see them. (Possibly suggesting that the game uses its own format.) Probly flawed logic, but kinda of fun trying to read between the lines in the absence of a direct answer.

Fionn Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 LOL> Not being cagey just being pre-occupied trying to get a bloody movie you could all watch. I can say that: 1. You all could NOT view any movies we make since the beta demo is such OLD code the file format has been changed since then. 2. Currently we can't view movies of turns in non-PBEM games It's something BTS want to add though I know. Hell, some of the stuff I've done against the AI deserves being seen in a movie .. There's so much cool stuff we can't show you its frustrating sometimes. Still, it'll make good surprises for you all when the game comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted February 12, 2000 Share Posted February 12, 2000 Being able to watch the whole battle, without having to load up CM, and view them in 60 sec increments would be so damn hellicool! that would be the absolute best way to bring in newbies... I believe it would be the best medium to show off what CM can do.If it isn't in the gold, I hope its available later as a patch or something.
