Hey I thought it was really good. Download went really fast. I have never heard that music before so that was good I like videos that keep it short like yours, some seem to drag on and on with long bits of uninteresting gameplay. I'm guessing they are just part of the movie-making software you used, but I still liked the 3D and other transition effects.

sorry for the late answer I was extremely busy and didnt go online much! thank you for the answers! I used Fraps, AVItoMPG Converter and WinProducer (yes the effects were standard options in that program) As for the killbox video.. which sucked pretty hard in my opinion - no, that was not the Taliban video I was talkin about. I meant the one that was played in afghanistan to cheer up the us-soldiers. it shows various us-military public material such as tanks planes bombings and stuff and in the "Let the bodies hit the floor" part there are Al Qaida (or whatever the spellin is) member pictures. the video itself is very... "american" but the presentation rules so much that I like it nevertheless. check out grouchymedia.com i think thats the creators site you can watch the stuff there - pretty cool presentation. again thanks for the many answers!

I should write a tutorial on that.

basically, there are two methods. 1. while playing back the demo, type in console "startmovie <name> <fps>" ... this will take screenshots from the demo, and put them as bmps in your half-life (or whatever mod's folder) at whatever fps you want. as in, if you chose 30 fps then 10 seconds would be 300 bmps. quite a lot. anyway after that you get a program like Videomach to put all the frames together into an avi or mpg or whatever ... then you'd use a video editing program like premier or vegas or after effects to put the different avis or "clips" together with effects, music, etc ... into a movie.
the 2nd way is to use a program such as fraps - www.fraps.com - to directly make avis (with sound!) from your demo... you run fraps in the background, then play your demo back, and press F2 or whatever your button is to start recording, and fraps turns everything you see on screen into an uncompressed avi in a folder of your choosing.

for example, fraps was used to make the hl in under an hour movies

btw, when you say pro gamer movie, do you actually mean pro gamer ? as in, do you play for money?

you can be pro and dont play for money. pro dont need to be professional as if it was your job or stuff. more like "as if you were playing for money"

btw I made a second version mpg1 for people with bad computers or guys who cant get the codec www.kampys-stuff.de in the file section there is a second button now.

OMGZ! Secret plans revealed

But yeah, expect some news on this front in about 3-5 weeks time A Snarkpit HLDM server will be up and running, I hope. Money is not the issue, more it is about catering for the international "fanbase" as it were.

Either way its a few weeks away, so don't get excited yet...

A private server? If so, you're gonna have alot of headackes when hundreds of people will join snarkpit only to get to play on the server . You should allow only those with more than 400SnarkMarks to play.

Also note that the man you're quoting does not meet this requirement.

LOL I find it wierd you guys don't have more snarkmarks considering how active you are on the site. Perhaps that shows the system really is kinda flawed. I think map comments and critiques and feedback in the mapping forum should probably hold more value.

/runs off to suggestions thread.
