Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005

QforQ-MxO

I'd like to request for someone to post advice on how to make a good
fraps video in MxO. Any ways to get good shots while incombat, FPS type
shots, etc. I want to start making one, but any feedback and
suggestions on how to make good shots in MxO would be greatly
appreciated.

I agree, I think everyone should put in their techniques on how to do all the little tricks and also good locations to film. Don't act like you have some trade secret and keep it to yourself. #1 its a game and #2 If we are to make a good impression to Big Wigs at SOE we need all the tricks in the book to blow the competition away.

Sure, but this is not the best thread for it, ill first advise you to
search on the forums, there are a tons of ppl who told it before SMILEY

Novitas

I'm looking forward to his. You said that we should take the UI out of the video if possible. Is there a setting to eliminate the graphics that go with interlock combat as well? I'd like my video to have pure martial arts without wierd shapes flying all over the place

ML has had some ideas rolling around for a good movie but i don't think we can get it done in time for the dead line :smileysad:

Oh! But do you guys remember that movie that was made and it was like a news cast? That would be nice to add. Although i personally don't have the link for it. But! I do have a link for the post that Vosx (DEV) made announcing the news broadcast, maybe some one can dig it up somewhere, or possibly you have it walrus.

*note* you can no longer /sit and zoom to get a first person shot, however if you do a /mood sexy then /sit and zoom you do a get first person shot. For an over head first person shot, you can use precise hyper jump (just click on it) and you'll have that shot.

One last thing: I've found a very interesting zoom in idea that can be implemented into anyone's video. if you do a precise hyperjump ( just click on it) and then zoom out (middle wheel scrolling backward) until you are way way way up in the clouds. Then press the precise hyper jump again for a slow zoom in from the sky. Hope these helped! And happy filming :smileyvery-happy:

Yes. Go into "advanced" under the "video" section of your options menu, and set "Effect types" to "none". You may have to restart the game for everything to take effect.

I'm wandering if we can get walrus and the dev team to allow us one night of the "halloween" darkness. That was the coolest setting to play mxo in and could make some really great videos with that.
Unfortunately I didn't take enough advantage with it and only used fraps to capture the moon and darkness instead of a video camera recording it which would give it the high def. quality SMILEY

.

Is there any way to make it for one night so that us movie creaters can use it again for the contest?

**Archange1**

to turn off the effects you can do as was already said and press "\", then click advanced. set effects to none, then you can turn off the combat UI text with a check box in the middle (thats the words that display like "powerless, and Stun"

That was easy dude.

First shot: The char starts a jackout. We cut the scene.

Second shot: The char disguise to an agent, starts a jackout then make a very little movment to cancel the jackout.

Those 2 shots in my editing software and this is it SMILEY

Look, there are many more difficult special effects i made in "chapter 3: Jackout", the transformation was the easiest SMILEY
