i beleive i made a post on how to use demos to make a low quality massive file size video XD
hang on
i made a tutorial for neotokyo recording .
ill translate it into TF2
Code: Select all
Sharp Dagger's Source recorder tutorial.
In this tutorial I will be covering how to use source recorder to record TF2 movies/Machinama.
Step 1.
What to download.
You will only need a couple of things for source recorder and if your doing it straight to avi, you only need one.
Virtual dub.
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
Xvid codec
http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html
Due to new size uploads, youtube can now uplaod anything up to 2GB of video :D
so you don't really need to lower the quality (as long as you're using XVID codec)
Step 4.
Put all of the graphics up to full. In console type
[code]mat_picmip -9; r_rootlod 0
press the load button and find whatever you called you're recording (it will be below the folders)
the game will then load the demo, and when its loaded press pause.
find just before what you want to record.
press play until your maybe 100 frames before the event then pause.
say i was on frame 1257 i would want to start recording on frame 1307
Step 5.
press the edit button and a box will come up.
press New and select "playcommands"
Now ANOTHER box will come up. name it anything you want and in the middle box change it to playontick and type in the tick you want to start recording it on.
for instance I would type in 1307
In the box below it type.
Code: Select all
sv_cheats 1; host_framerate 30; startmovie nameofmovie
Press OK and then make another command (if when you press new it flashes then goes away, click on the previous command then press new.
again select playcommands.
in the name box type anything other than what you just write.
select playontick and in the tick box, select the tick that you want to finish recording on (DO NOT SELECT THE LAST TICK OF THE DEMO)
as the commands write
Code: Select all
demo_pause;host_framerate 0; endmovie
Press O.K
Close the edit box and the demoui box.
Step 6.
In the console type
close the console.
make sure there are no boxes left on the screen
press .
When it gets to the first tick it should go SUPER LAGGY, and the audio will just loop the last second.
this is supposed to happen, it won't come out like that in the final thing.
when you get to the last tick, it will pause. Wait about a minute for it to finish, then to make sure its finished, press the console button.
if the console comes up then press quit game.
Step 7.
Download and extract VirtualDub (top of the post)
run VirtualDub.exe
A screen should appear.
press open video file and go to your, Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/neotokyo folder and select nameofmovie0000.tga
it will now load all the files with nameofmovie at the start.
Step 8.
In the tabs at the top select audio, and select audio from another file...
Click nameofmovie.wav
Then click the audio tab again and select Full Processing mode.
Once more click the audio tab and select interleaving.
make sure the first box has a 0 in it, then unselect the "enable audio/video interleaving".
close the interleaving window and press the audio tab AGAIN (I Promise this is the last time)
and press compression
Click on Microsoft AD826, And select either of the options in the right hand box.
Step 9.
select the video tab and press frame rate.
in the window that pops up select Change so the video and audio durations match. (29.something FPS)
Press OK.
Click the video tab again and select compression.
(You should now have XVID codec installed.)
In the left hand box go to the bottom of the box and then select XVID codec.
Click the video tab once more and select full processing mode.
Now click save as AVI.
Call it anything you want and put it in any folder.
It will then load a window and start doing something.
When its finished close the windows and close VirtualDub.
find you .avi file and open it.
That should be the file you just made.
If you make lots of clips, then put them in Windows Movie Maker or something.
FIN!
Tips:
If you want to get rid of your hud then before running the startmovie, type in console
Code: Select all
cl_showhud 0; hud_saytext_time 0; hud_deathnotice_time 0
P.S No Fraps Vs Source recorder trolling.
EDIT: when i tried this on Neotokyo it crashed
Method 2. No .TGA Files, goes straight to .AVI, No VirtualDub
Make sure when you make the movie, your running in a window.
do the same as above up to step 5.
On step 5 add "avi" after you're movie name.
E.G
[code]sv_cheats 1; host_framerate 30; startmovie nameofmovie avi
the endmovie command should stay the same.
E.G
Code: Select all
demo_pause;host_framerate 0; endmovie
When you get to the starting tick a window will pop up. Go to the bottom of the list and select XVID codec.
press OK.
when finished, in your steamapps/sourcemods/neotokyo folder there will be nameofmovie.avi[/code]
