I've got something for you today - it's a promotional video for Ares - the expansion DLL by DCoder, Renegade, AlexB, pd and Electro we'll be using for 3.0 to bring you more features than original Yuri's Revenge allowed us to. If you haven't heard about it yet.. where the hell have you been?

Okay, can you tell me what recording software, codec, and configurations you use to make your videos? I'm trying to get some videos of my own going but I am hindered by a lack of codec knowledge and I can't seem to find one that gives a good balance between quality and good framerates in the resulting video.

If it helps I use camtasia studio for recording... it's about the only one that has worked for me. FRAPS crashes my YR with an IE and CamStudio can't detect my audio hardware.

[Speeder]

Well, I use Camtasia as well. I didn't really need to setup anything except for resolution and it's not like I can record things perfectly - I shouldn't move the camera because the recording will get laggy. This is the result I get by simply starting the recorder, preparing the movie and rendering it in AVI with best quality settings for both video and audio.

Also, FRAPS doesn't work with YR afaik.

[WoRm1NaToR]

in other words you use the default techsmith capture codec?

hm.... what screen resolution do you record in?

I never tested spotlight towers before, so they are new to me. and they look really cool. Do they have a special ability? like detect stealth?

@WoRm1NaToR: Yes, it's the default one. 1280x720.

Yes, however several required a quick conversion of colors from red to remap.

Alphalights is brighter than most of lighting settings.

They do have a special ability, if you use a trigger that says 'Enemy is in Spotlight' and an enemy does truely walk through it, you can set of an alarm and other things. I don't know about stealth detection.

[Speeder]

Yeah, but they're mission material only.

[Zenothist]

We could add destroy animations.. if we had a SHP artist.

I think that it´s a problem when the new version of the forum reads the emoticons that was posted before. Also edited my post to deal with that "wahy"

No I was referring to the link in your signature (the WTF IS THIS? portion), I just quoted you for some unknown reason...

But I am still scared... and I only saw the first few seconds...
