any eta when stopping gathering recs btw?

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 1 May 2007, 16:45

Well thanks to Zweq and John for sharing a few more recs, the totaltime is now 36:22,45, almost a 10 second improvement from the last update. Can't share the times/recs just yet, but they are quite nice, look forward to seeing them.

Anyway, just about finishing up with stuff now, so I guess this is semi-last call for sharing any more replays. A DVD version is looking less likely to be made right now, but I will make a big matroska file with lots of soundtracks and high quality video at the very least, together with the smaller avi versions.

As it looks now, these version will be made:
~4.4gb mkv 800x600 29.97fps xvid, all soundtracks
1.4gb avi 800x600 29.97fps xvid, max 4 soundtracks (avi container limit)
700mb avi 800x600 29.97fps xvid, ~2 soundtracks
350mb avi 640x480 29.97fps xvid, 1 soundtrack
~100mb avi ???x??? 29.97fps xvid, 1 soundtrack with mega suck quality

Any other suggestions or requests?
Hopefully mila can convert the constfps.exe to the newest Elma version used for Ballelma so that I can also create a sick quality x264 720p 60fps version, should look nice in that case.

If anybody has songs they might want included in the video, send them to me on IRC and they'll be considered for inclusion. Right now there will at the very least be 4 soundtracks; metal, pop/rock, electronica and hip-hop. Hopefully Luther gives sign of life and blesses us with a commentary track as well. Would be nice if somebody else would like to do one as well, but I'm guessing that's not happening.

Wow, sounds good. Are you going to sell it or what, if you are making it on DVD?

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 1 May 2007, 17:44

No, in that case it would be a iso file you could download and burn yourself. But I doubt a DVD version will be made at this point, unless there is some huge demand for it.

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 1 May 2007, 18:38

hope yuo make nice metal track, edfq1 is fun to watch just for the music

edit: ah what the fuck, screw the wr update, release when you want to.

Only the ones that are public obviously, but you can already download most of those if you search the replay sharing topic I guess.

Ran into a problem today while making pcx files for the 720p version. Problem is that the constfps patch was made with 1.11hb, which seems to mess up grass/textures when using zoom. I don't think mila is going to make a 1.2 version of it, so the question is this: which way is better, zoom with ugly grass and textures, or no zoom but far viewing distance?

Here's a comparison of grass problems that might happen in some levels: http://up.k10x.net/epvporkurxxlw/zoom-vs-grass.jpg
And here's another example of the first texture problem I ran into: http://up.k10x.net/gidiktnuycwtp/sn2855.png

So for those of you with any interest in a 720p version (are there any at all?), what do people think is the best option?

Rasken · Post by **Rasken** » 4 May 2007, 18:12

Im used to ugly textures so I want zoom.

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 4 May 2007, 19:42

i don't want zoom

wjelo · Post by **wjelo** » 4 May 2007, 23:40

i dont want textures

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 5 May 2007, 00:32

mebe we need to edit the .LEB files for that. Fuck, but how did we do that again?

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 5 May 2007, 15:34

make mila do teh anyway, otherwise no zoom. It's a movie it has to look nice.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 5 May 2007, 15:43

I figured out how to fix texture problem. Kinda easy and should have noticed straight away when I ran into problem, but I just removed the mask pictures from LGR, so now it's only semi-ugly grass that ruins zoom. And this is only for the 720p in case you didn't notice.

Still not sure what's better, zoom and semi-ugly grass, or no zoom at all. Not too much opinions yet, so guess I decide myself and you can whine after the movie's done instead.

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 5 May 2007, 15:52

Still it is a movie and i think it has to look professional then, so i say rather no zoom than ugly grass. But still doesn't matter too much.

niN · Post by **niN** » 5 May 2007, 17:56

No grass is best

I played without grass for a long while but last two years or so I've appreciated nice grass and graphics. Elma has very beautiful graphics after all... as long as I can put the pictures on background.

Yeah

Agree. Now I'm in a phase where I like levels without grass, but elma does indeed have nice graphics

Rasken · Post by **Rasken** » 6 May 2007, 22:16

Use zoom even if grass isnt perfect. Ive noticed replays looks much faster and better if you got bigger zoom. And it would`nt be so nice to see the tricks in different levs if no zoom.

DaFred · Post by **DaFred** » 23 May 2007, 15:47

jaytea · Post by **jaytea** » 9 Jun 2007, 12:37

Focus has been on the ballelma site lately, but with these last crazy zweq recs I guess I'll have to get in gear and finish this. Updated list with newest time. Totaltime of video is now 36:04,62.

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 16 Jun 2007, 20:04

boah shit! can't wait to see this!!!

dz · Post by dz » 17 Jun 2007, 00:05

If I can see these recs now I promise to stop pressuring you about the movie skint.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 17 Jun 2007, 13:10

36:01,90 now.

Post by **Abula** » 17 Jun 2007, 14:38

jaytea · Post by **jaytea** » 17 Jun 2007, 18:16

2.3sec off wr tt is awesome, MAX respect to John and Zweq for sharing everything. i dont expect we'll get to 35tt replays because of Upside as John said.. need one of the WNO sickos to kill another wr in next table and share

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 17 Jun 2007, 18:20

Fucking awesome, WNO! I love you guys :*

Memphis · Post by **Memphis** » 17 Jun 2007, 19:48

im getting bloody excited for this movie. If somehow we can release it today that'd be tight.... but if not ill wait i guess. ya under 36 movie though would be a lot cooler then 36:01:xx

jaytea · Post by **jaytea** » 18 Jun 2007, 07:52

was looking through WNO times and saw that there were 3 better times than the list here, o&U 29.90, Grav 23.18 and Curva 29.20.. maybe these were forgotten or overlooked when submitting?

anyway if they are shared it would make the tt 36.01.48

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 20 Jun 2007, 14:09

There is going to be a replay playing during the credits in the video, so if you don't have internal skills you still have a chance to get into the movie. There will be a battle sometime later today (in about 6hrs time) on the level that will be used, so the best replay I get will be used in the movie (not just during the battle mind you, you'll have a few days to hÃ¶yl it).

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 20 Jun 2007, 19:20

nice idea!

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 20 Jun 2007, 19:34

skint, could you post the link to the level here after the battle has passed ? Would love to play the level!
