RO: Movies / Demos

>>>>EDIT: Rate topic! and sign/leave your comment!!<<<<

In the past we had some suggestion topics going on about improving the demo feature in RedOrchestra.. but It never came really through it because.. we are reacting on the endless threats.. about add this tank t23847237846234 because he has airconditioning inside and has a chain of flowers haning inside wich whas a lucky symbol for the russian tank drivers according to http://wiki.t2394728947238947.com

anyway enough jokes..

As most of you guys know the Roladder crew got this great cup going on.. (I'm talking about the wintercup) and Rotv is a real kick off! but.. you can't save it.. at least not decent.. because the demo function is ..... well you know. If you wont to role back to that ownage of the pt match vs core for example and see that amazing shot back in slow motion.. track the bullet in 3dview and see how it enters the enemys skull.. make a fragmovie about it and share the fun with the rest of the world.. it all isnt possible and why?

so I done some investigation my self. And found out some really cool tools to make your self an amazing movie! (all ut2004 tools)

The first tool wich I found whas the Rypelcam tool. You can do endless effects with this one. For example.. wouldnt it be great to fire your tiger tank and follow the shell accros the map to see the impact :D?

anyway this tool makes it posible to place cameras random in the map which can give a real cool animation

Here you see the cameras wich form a short scene.

And this how it looks after recording!

This tool makes it also posible to view your weapons on first person while watching your demo!!

tool website: http://www.rypelcam.net

Ingame recording tool.

To compile your ut2004 demos you can use this great tool..
no more need of fraps.. wich is lagging.. and has crapy quality..
this tool makes for example at 30 fps, 30 screenshots in JPEG or BMP you can later compile these to a movie into Sony Vegas for example.

with Demomanger3.0 you are posible to freespecate, do 360turns, slowmotion and many more..
couldnt really find a website of this tool just google it and find a mirror..

UT2004 moviemaking wiki contains information etc..
http://wiki.meaz.org/index.php?title=UT_RypelCam

But now the problem..

They are not compatible so far with RedOrchestra.. the developers of ryplecam told me RedOrchestra is running an out dated demofunction.. of ut2004. I posted the errors I got when my ro crashed trying to use these tools..

so.. again.. we got owned by the great demo function of redOrchestra..
So its more a cry for the devs.. can you please please please have a look at the demo functions in redOrhestra.. or at least get these tools working.. :(

and I think I'm not talking here for myself.. to get this improved.. instead of adding a flower chain in my t34.

Pretty cool tools. Anything to make ROTV and/or demo recording a more pleasant experience I'm all for. I'd like to see team based gaming, like we have with RO, become a spectator sport of sorts. So if there's anyway to place some focus on that within the UE3 engine, please take the time to do so. I can only imagine clanning and competing becoming more popular as time goes on and games become more oriented in that direction.

I am told we are using the most up to date demo code for UE 2.5. Most of the game us using the last version of UE 2.5 code. Tell him to post his problem in the coding section of the forum and I'll see if we can take a look at it. No promise on that though. I'll point it out to somebody when they have some free time.
