Well, you can make it pretty far with q2pro and Fraps. But i guess if you want to make movie in .dm2 form, instead of .avi, then there's no other option than kg2.

kg2 is helluva lot better. Can do more with that program than with fraps.

if you don't like keygrip2 try demented. could be an option.

While wating the tutorial, i have a question: How to make the camera right, i mean i have all those things happening to the camera, that is happening to the player. For example, if some shoots the player, the camera moves like it would have been hit. And same thing with movement: when player moves, the camera does the same rocking movement. How to make it real cameraview?

When is this tutorial coming anyway?

To get rid of the camera blend and kicks ->

Edit -> Find

Change Search Method to AND.

Change Find Type to Replace.

Change Message Type to Player Info.

You will see two different windows. Use the lower one.

View offset x = 0

View offset y = 0

View offset z = 22.5

Kick angels x,y,z = 0.

Blend 0,1,2,3 = 0.

Then click Find first and then click All.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tutorial will be out when im done with the four movies im working on atm. So it will take some time.

Few more questions :-)

-Is there a way to get all players visible at all the time in the demo? Not only when the demorecorder sees them.

-And is there a way to get rid of the scoreboard?

they are allways visible. However, ever heard of NCServer ?

It's a protection against wallhack. Its function is:

too only draw the players when you see them. Which means people behind a wall wont show in the demo. So if your demo are from a server with NCServer there is no way to make them visible. Atleast no way that i know off. Thats a sad fact for people that want to make movies and stuff. NCServer removes the recamming possibility.

To get rid of the scorebar:

View -> Demo Information

In the left you will see a column with the title Configstrings. Click statusbar and then the - button. Save the demo and its gone

They arent visible if you for example try to camera from enemy spawn in the beginning of the round.

A short example: http://kotinetti.suomi.net/tuija.viitala/likethis.dm2

Is that normal?
