Counter-Strike movie making tutorial - by: sfekt`

 

Quick note: Use 800x600, full brightness/gamma, max_smokepuffs 0, auto-size xhair, green, and translucent to get BEST results with this tutorial.

 

1. First place a demo in your cstrike folder. Then you want to use the resoution 800x600 and full brightness/gamma. Next you want to turn off net graph, and saytext. To do so type net_Graph 0 and hud_saytext (save your config elsewhere to replace after done). Then you want to open your demo (viewdemo demonamehere). When you get to the part you want to make a clip of type "startmovie name 90" (without the quotes, and you may replace "name" with what you want the screenshots to be named).When the part is over that you want to capture, type endmovie.

2. Next, you want to open pjbmp2avi, if you do not have it, you may download it here (save to a folder). Then you want to open it, and locate your screenshots. When that is done, you may have many screenshots in your cstrike folder, so where it says "input name" type the name of the screenshots you want to make a clip of. Choose what name you want to save the file as, and make sure your "frame rate" is at "90" and "key rate" is at "1". Also, make sure you choose FULL FRAMES UNCOMPRESSED!

3. Now that you have the uncompressed clip, you want to open Vegas Video. Go to "File" then "import media" and locate your file. When that is done you will see it in the "media pool", now drag it up to the video track. Now you want to go to "File" then "Project Properties". Set the Width to "800" and the Height to "600". Now set the Field Order to "None (progressive scan)" and Pixel Aspect ratio to "1.0000 (Square)". Then set the frame rate to "30", Full resoultion rendering quality to "Best", Motion Blur type to "Gaussian" and Deinterlace method to "none".

4. Now that you have your clip in the video track, you may what to get rid of that HLTV bar, or your money on the bottom of the screen. To do so, right click your clip and go to Video pan/crop. Set the Size to 800x470 if you want it to look like below, you may change the "320" number to anything if you want a large portion of the clip to be shown. Make sure you only have the LOWER envelope icon indented.

5. Next you want to add some levels. Right click your clip, go to Media FX and drag Levels on to your clip(thanks to spider from moviemakers for the levels). Change the "Input Start" to .083 and "Input End" to .804 to get a nice crisp look. Also, add "Color Balance" and use the preset "Blue Highlights". Next, add "Color Corrector" and use the preset "Studio RGB to Computer RGB".

This is how it will look:

6. Now that your clip is done, it is time to render. Go to File > render ass and choose "Windows Media Video V9 (*.wmv) for your "Save as type". For file name insert the text you would like the clip to be named, and make sure you set template to "default uncompressed" (you can save it when done customizing). Also, make sure you check the boxes "Save project markers" and if you selected a part of a clip to render, check "Render loop region only".

7. Now click "custom" on your right hand side under "cancel" and above "about". Make it render at "Best". Now go to the audio tab. Setthe mode to "Quality VBR", Format to "Windows Media Audio 9" and Attributes to "VBR Quality 10, 44khz, stereo VBR" (thanks to MRZ from moviemakers for those settings). Next go to the video tab. Change the "mode" to "Bit rate VBR". Make sure your format is "Windows Media Video 9". change Image size to "Custom" and make sure width is at "800" and Height is at "600". Next change frame rate (fps) to "30", Average Bit Rate (bps) to "4 M" and Seconds per Keyframe to "3". You may now insert text into the template area and click the "floppy disk" to save the template. Now click ok and then save to get your clip :)

    • Trustworthy person; hope you find what you're looking for!
    • Customs being added to systextures/animation/texture influences the increase in virtual ram by a very small amount, which means you won't have a headache in the future with critical error issues, unless it's a dubious custom, there are 2 custom weapon packs available for H5 that are "compromised", they didn't make a very good adaptation, one of the packages is the weapons from the goddess of destruction for H5, another is the hero weapons from the goddess of destruction for H5, avoid these customs for your H5 server if you see it on any forum.   Now coming back to your question; one thing that the NCSoft developers never did was add files to their system, probably because they were aware of what could happen when doing that, now think about one thing: the game's system retail itself is no more than 70MB, every time there was an update made by NCSoft they always added the equipment/items/cloaks etc. in their folders intended for that, so why do we do this? I still have my client containing a system with almost 1GB, 1-2h online is the time I can stay online before the ram memory limit, but I have already redone my entire client with customs being destined for textures/systexture/animations, almost all the customs that I had on that client containing a 1GB system I have on my current server, with the difference that I removed everything from the system and critical error is now nothing more than legends, my current server has a total of 220MB in the system folder And theoretically speaking, based on what I've seen, especially on many forums, I believe that the heavier the system folder is, the faster we accelerate the consumption of the client's virtual ram memory, causing countless different types of critical error in one short period of time, in many forums that I've seen on topics involving critical, the solution that stands out the most is about downloading a new clean "system"
    • Do you think that everything on the system is loaded regardless if you use it or not ? or even worst, are they loaded even if they exist as textures/meshes but not defined on the DAT files ?

    • Yes, it is, it's not hard to do (if you know what you're doing); just time consuming.   To make some things clear: 1. You can not create .ukx files with animated skeletalmeshes inside, by using any of the freeshared L2Editors (basically, no support for .psa files) 2. You need a patched UT2003/UT2004. You can either get your own ut2004 and download Gildor's patch from his web, or use any of these: When you use these, you should be able to import both .psk and .psa animations > link the skeletalmesh to the psa > save as .ukx > use ut2down to convert the file to l2 format > encrypt the .ukx with standard l2 encryption (you can use mxc encdec, you can find it in the folder of the l2editor i shared). Your best bet is to use pawnviewer (aka dev mode) to test that. If you have troubles with that process then leave a reply here, otherwise, if it works correctly, you can move on to adding missing animnotify classes to you unrealed, then proper animnotifies, sounds, effects or w/e is missing from your .ukx files. Keep in mind that this is overall not difficult but a huge amount of work (unless you're good at scripting/macros) since you'd need to manually re-create every single animnotify, by hand. If you have doubts or i wasn't clear enough let me know here. (in case you don't know what an animnotify is: UDN - Two - AnimNotifies (unrealengine.com) )
