new version of aprq2, especially for movie makers

Dimmo · Post by **Dimmo** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 4:45 am

aprq2 1.18 released. movie makers should notice these new features:

- added cl_chathudtime cvar to control how long chathud msg's stays in screen

- custom resolutions: use r_customheight and r_customwidht to set width/height with gl_mode -1 (works gl/sw in linux and win)

- aviexport have now sound support, use avi_sound cvar. default enabled and if it set to 2, it try to use mp3 decoder.

- aviexport video is uncompressed by default, if you want to use codec use avi_codec cvar. Use fourCC to specify the codec (ec 'xvid')

- new command avirecord, now you dont have to export whole demo, you can start exportin at any time in demo playback. It names the avi's to demoxx.avi

- new command avistop to stop avi exporting

some effects for making movies, cvars start with gl_eff_ (config for these commands)

- new shell effect in gl mode, type gl_shelleffect 1 to enable (this is the effect for quad damage, invu, etc

- shell effect also aply to guns

Thanks goes to Maniac \o

i dont like that in the new version when execing a file without extension it automatically adds a ".cfg"

However the other features are really cool... couldnt you embed the same blood as beefquake does? Than apr was teh uberclient

quote frmo the beefquakedeveloper:
"Not sure if I'll take up work on BQ again though, Ive sent off the current source to several different people who are ripping parts out (expect volumetric shadows in Q2max, if they arent already there)."

Looks like it has a bug. Or its just me.
I have voice binded at "L" button. Every time when I exec my cfg. it uses this voice.then Looks like it uses button "L" every time I exec my cfg.

Now why would you want to get beefquake? AprQ2 has it all... and more

Maniac: do you have some sort of list/documentation over the new cvars/commands? Can't seem to find any in the .zip files, and there are a few commands that I'm wondering about what they do..

Great work mate.

uummm... nope.... the .zip doesn't contain that... oh wait... I use the src package (since I compile this myself for linux) I bet if I try the bin package I'll find it

----> downloading... (might be a good idea to put that into the src package as well Maniac

)

http://www.fileplanet.com/files/110000/113443.shtml here or something... but the new apr really seems to be just superior. bq had a lil more realistic blood imho.. and i was talking about the gl_stainmaps and not the particles.. but maniac made me some extra movieexe

thx agian dude.

Only change is that it add blood stains like in beefq2, but stainmaps sucks anyway :p

bugreport..

when i avirecord two clips in a row (means avirecord 1.dm2...... finish - avirecord 2.dm2) about the first half of the demo does not record sound. weird.

Stric · Post by **Stric** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 4:09 pm

maybe because it shows codec menu first?

maGro · Post by **maGro** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 12:48 pm
