That quote is from the REAL Battle at Thermopylae. It's over two thousand years old.

Pretty video... however all of these videos highlight a small bug in spring - no mouse-smoothing in freelook modes. Damned ugly how the screen pops around as you scroll.

It's nice but I think the slowdown might turn peopel off and you could've cut it a bit better with less slow moments and more combat. Would've been nice to see the GAW get destroyed, too.

I've mentioned this repeatedly, but to no avail. Would really make all videos a lot better.

You know, for all the times you've made me eat a well-microed Char, I've never really seen him in action like that. The animation scripting is exquisite, with his use of shield and gun there is a certain organic feel, and he can honestly be used to harry anything - my reasons to play Zeon have doubled.

slowdown? outside of the com dying what else shout I also try to include? I'll try and do better but I have only this free version of fraps and I am new to this tips would help :) so keep the feedback coming.

btw did anyone dislike the fact that I used music from gundam with the vid? Also, another bug was that I did not mute my mic while recording so if you listen close you can occasionally hear my key presses..

holy crap, that was awesome, sometime when we were watching the Red Comet, he put his gun BEHIND HIS HEAD AND FIRED SIDEWAYS LIKE ALUCARD, during 1:14 or so!

Ah, so that was from Gundam? I thought that was something from OTA or so.

I dunno, maybe stitching a few more games together would be more interesting because it provides a greater variety of scenarios.

Slowdown meant that occassionally it seemed like the game dropped a few frames.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble could you give me some time stamps?

J5mello, I watched our match a few times....

The economy mistake you made was building only a few level 1 generators. When playing zeon the level 1 power plants are weaker for their cost but build faster and are smaller then their feddy counter parts. That was where you went wrong.

Actually the whole video looks as if it's not playing at a smooth framerate. The mouse movements are the most obvious but everything else looks pretty low-rate, too.

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 16 Mar 2007, 17:04

probably a mix of my hands shaking and the choppy camera.

one of my new explosions... man, I am loving this particle system.

Speaking of particles, would this be of any use in gundam?

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 22 Mar 2007, 00:26

nah, I am not too worried about the flash on ejecting brass.

For those who care

I have some class work/test/family stuff I am doing so I have to push my expected release date back to next week some time. I intended on polishing off the effects and a few script bits and releasing 1.11 along with effects pack 2 but I have to take care of real life priorities. So, sorry for the delay, the effects alone will be worth the wait.
