WHY WHY THIS

Post by Noruas »

[1:56:16 PM] * Tobi has joined battle

[1:58:20 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> Tobi i have a question
[1:58:43 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> Tobi, what happened to the record
[1:59:00 PM] <Tobi> record feature?
[1:59:11 PM] <Tobi> oh the avi recorder
[1:59:13 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> yes
[1:59:16 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> the avi recorder
[1:59:35 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> awww
[1:59:36 PM] <Tobi> and I had the idea it was borked anyway
[1:59:39 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> your kidding me!
[1:59:52 PM] <Tobi> at least many people said it was only saving garbage
[1:59:52 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> will it be in the next spring?
[2:00:13 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> i cant do my videos anymore ):
[2:00:33 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> fraps record my shitty framerate of spring on low graphics
[2:00:34 PM] <Tobi> no, unless you get someone to fix it / explain me how to compile it in mingw / rewrite it in a crossplatform way
[2:00:51 PM] <Tobi> I have other priorities atm
[2:00:55 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> yeah
[2:01:16 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> well you could put on the list "Noruas is a sad panda because it dosent work anymore" list
[2:01:57 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> thx Tobi for telling the bad news, now i will have to prey somone is nice enough to fix it
[2:02:39 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> Rox and Knox cant be on the same team?!?
[2:02:56 PM] <Tobi> noruas, it's funny you're the first to discover. (or tell me at least) while the release has been quite a while ago already :)
[2:03:19 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> because i thought it was still in somewher
[2:03:28 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> and i tried looking up some spring commanders
[2:03:31 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> commands*
[2:03:35 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> and didnt find it
[2:03:58 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> i still cant see how it was borked though
[2:04:15 PM] <Tobi> nope, its compiled out. if you're really bored you can make a video by pausing, singlestepping (o key) and screenshotting
[2:04:22 PM] <Tobi> then encoding them to avi later
[2:04:32 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> well that method is full of phailed
[2:04:54 PM] <Tobi> duh :)
[2:05:01 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> ill just beg people to fix it :p
[2:06:25 PM] <[KoEE][KoCS]Noruas> doh...

Why did no one tell me this!??! Recording with Fraps also include the crappiness of 5 frames per second on just shadows and reflections alone. Please restore this feature so i can make more videos! I Told Tobi I was going to beg and now here I am. Please put this on your to fix list. Even if it is abit borked at the moment, if it works IT WORKS. Just make an option where it defaults to not to record button of F10, for all those people who complain about garbage!

I always had the problem that I didnt know which codec works best.
Some just produced 1KB files and did nothing while other worked good but one minute video was 200MB...

A program similiar to FRAPS can be found at http://www.planetgamecam.com/
Maybe that works better for you?

Well, i reported it at the development releases of this current version, .74b1.

And think have personally told it to tobi.
edit: no, it was not tobi, it was another developper, my apologies.


Didnt you all enjoyed my "squadwait" command explanation?

it doesn't compile on mingw

or rather, standard mingw doesn't have the necessary windows headers/libraries, if someone can provide them I wouldn't mind enableing it again..
