About making videos in JAmme

[Damn Polak]

I decided to start a thread about making movies with jamme (and everything connected to this), because there are some things unexplained in tutorials
feel free to answer any of the questions and ask new ones

1. is there a difference in file size between /record avi, /record tga, /record jpg etc.?
2. what software do you recommend for editing the jamme output? (I'm particulary interested in freeware)
3. is it possible to enable projected shadows in the newest jamme?
4. compressing records before editing, is it worth it?
5. recording old demos in jamme - i assume i'd need an old mb2 installation in gamedata folder, would it work with the new jamme just like that?
6. I have a problem with screenshots while using r_mode -1 , is there a solution?
7. is it possible to make screenshots with higher resolution than the ingame resolution (larger than native resolution)?
8. any other tips you want to share

1. Image sequences:
TGA: big size, excellent quality, fast capturing.
PNG: fine size, excellent quality, slower TGA capturing.
JPG: small size, bad-good quality (depending on scene), slower PNG capturing.

Video:
AVI default: big size, excellent quality, fast capturing.
AVI Motion JPEG: fine size, good quality, slower AVI default capturing. (mme_aviFormat 1)

If necessary I can explain more detailed why certain types have certain values.

2. -
3. Define projected shadows.
4. -
5. jaMME ignores MBII version so it launches any, but you may face weird artifacts and have only modern HUD etc. - not tested with demos before 1.2, I think.
6. I will see what I can do with it, for now use another screenshot settings (mme_screenShot*) or screenshot command (screenshot*).
7. Check mme/cvars.txt at the bottom: there is FBO feature that may help you. You can also try the off-screen capture that was in one of the tutorials.
8. -

Define projected shadows

cg_shadows 2 or 3
removed in current mb2 build because of unfair advantage (shadows clipping through objects, giving away position of people hiding behind a corner)

slower AVI default capturing

so i would be trading time of capture for disk space?

FBO feature

with

r_fbo 1
r_fbomultisample 4
r_fbowidth 1024
r_fboheight 768
r_mode 3
r_fullscreen 0

i get this:


am I doing something wrong?

Shadows will be unlocked in next MBII release in demos.

More like quality vs space. Time won't be significantly higher.

am I doing something wrong?

I am doing something wrong. I guess for now you can only capture screenshots with FBO with /record, not with /screenshot* commands. Suz.

nice

you can only capture screenshots with FBO with /record

you mean /capture?
nah, i get black screen
is it possible that my gpu or its drivers don't support FBO?

It is supported on your end. Show your config.

edit: my config

[Damn Polak]

Funny thing happened here, I posted the config in previous post hoping you'd notice, and now i'm not sure if you did

 

[ent]

I noticed, fortunately, but dunno what to tell. Use off-screen capture.

 

[Bold Moves]

Great thread, 2 questions:

1. I`m glad to see we can record videos straight into .avi -> How?
2. If all my previous demos are recorded in .dm_26 and I would love to edit the footage, am I doomed?

 

[ent]

1. jaMME/cmds.txt at master · entdark/jaMME · GitHub
2. I do not undestand the question. Current demos also get saved in .dm_26.
