I am getting a bit of a geek-crush on the smoothly spoken Englishman that is DAZ with his insightful and thought-provoking series of derping around missing all the secrets and even items that are right in front of him errrr I mean talking about mapping while playing cool levels. So I thought his channel was worth it's own seperate thread - entertaining for players and mapping veterans, and potentially very useful for newer mappers as DAZ does offer some really good views on mapping theory. Also DAZ go ahead and put all your updates in here.

I don't recall any recent changes in QS that should have broken that. Do you get the same cameras in Fitz 0.85 or Mark V?

#273 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/12/06 19:10:17

THTC doesn't have a proper camera. So ignore that. :)

I assume most people use only one info_intermission in their maps, not knowing they should place 4 of them.
QS resets to the playerstart as intermission then which is unfortunate.
I only assume this is the reason.

4? For what, co-op? Is that a realistic concern these days? Was it ever?

#276 posted by oh, that person on 2014/12/06 20:21:34

I'm pretty sure just one intermission camera is enough, and 4 is only the limit.

Intermission Camera

Doesn't it choose one of up to four at random? And if none, then the players start position?

#278 posted by necros on 2014/12/06 22:55:51

that is the behaviour I have observed

That's Essentially It

Also fun fact: you can killtarget intermission cameras. Get some sweet conditional action up in that.

Also

In the Shadows allowed you to switch between the cameras on the intermission screen by firing, I thought it was a pretty nifty addition.

Hmmm

Maybe it could automatically cycle through them.

Youtube is being slow to encode the higher resolution 60fps version of the video so give it some time if its not available yet!

Shared This On My Tumblr Blog.

I might play trough it without cheating sometime.

WAY TO MISS ALL THE REALLY EASY SECRETS

Also, the ammo and health don't respawn on timers, but instead they respawn along with waves of enemies. Means the health and ammo is controlled so that you have enough for all the respawns, but never lets you get too much to break the balance.

Is this just me? Check the fly around at ~35-40s in. If I advance frame by frame there are many almost same frames mixed with bigger jumps. This is visible as jitter in 1:1 playback speed.

Are you capturing with something synchronized to the engine? Otherwise this might be due to the difference between the recorder's tick and the engine's.

Hmm

#287 posted by DaZ on 2014/12/22 18:08:42

Would setting the monitor refresh rate to 60hz with vsync on while recording at 60fps fix this issue?

I Noticed It Too

#288 posted by ericw on 2014/12/22 18:39:49

although I don't recall seeing stuttering on past CG videos. Trying vsync sounds like a good idea.
Enjoyed the review though :)

One Thousand Cuts

if anyone liked my jam2 entry I did an updated version with more content, skill levels and better item balance. I also wrote a long articles about how the map was originally created and what went right and wrong with its design.
