Ancalagon Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 Anyone know how to do this..I would look through the forums...but im pretty busy Thanks for yer help if any
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 The only way is pretty time consuming. There's a command in Q3 based games (which i forgot, sorry) that will take a screenie at a set rat per second. What you have to do is run your demo, and use that command to get a bunch of screenies in sequence. Then, you have to use a program that can convert an ordered sequence of images into an avi or mpeg. Sorry I can't be more specific or provide any URLS.

Sorry I can't be more specific or provide any URLS. I think its "cl_avidemo n" where n is the framerate desired. It will spit out n images per second. Of course the playback of the demo while it's doing this will be about 1FPS, and you'll be left with hundreds of >1MB images that you get to resize, reduce, and combine into an AVI. not fun, not recommended . . .

Flashbackz Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 wasn´t the command PARA X whereas X stands for the amount of screenies you want to make? I am not sure, but I heard that this is a command for taking a screenshot animation .....?!?
UniKorn Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Bump this thread till next week, the link is in my favorites at work.
Ancalagon Posted May 9, 2002 Author Posted May 9, 2002 Well, my computer isn't the best out there, so i tried that command...and then its unplayable...BAH! So, I'm gonna have to find a way to directly convert them, or a program to convert the demo to a pack of pictures then convert them. Mmmm, I'd I don't think that command for an animated screenshot would work...But if you find anything..I'D LVOE the hear it.
