I look forward to seeing what you two make. Can you post a video of it?

I'm not sure of what to record yet, I was thinking a compilation of funny moments, that we do from a script in the Original Levels.

I'm open to anything though so Let the ideas flow!

Alright, I'll see if I can make a sample map. Also, I'm gonna make a class with old school style video recorder sprites, that can fly

Also, we can do both the Original Levels and New ones.

I've got a couple ideas so far.
We can use the skulltag pack for skins in the original levels.
First Skit
Chexman is fighting a couple of flemoids on E1M1 in the hallway leading up to the red door.
It is a pretty even match, suddenly, Chex runs out of zorch! Ducking behind a post he reassesses the situation. Perhaps he should've been a doctor? Or a Scientist? Maybe he wasn't cut out for the corp. Maybe he should've gone to law school?
While he's pondering all of this he gets slimed by a quadrumpus that sneaks up behind him.
2nd
Some Hijinkery with crate chex skin.
3rd
Some Flemoids at a water cooler talking about how they are gonna slime the chex man. That can be taken and evolved into several different situations.

As for Levels I think it can be a combo of both. I like the Class Sprite idea!

I think it could be a couple skits for each video. and each one we do should feature the levels from that corresponding Episode. So the first video we do has skits and such done in E1M1-5 As well as the maps from the Skull Tag pack made for Chex Quest.

Hmmm...

Interesting. I've got a couple ideas for maps now. So, thats pretty much not the RvB idea, but can we do that also? And, who is gonna record? Do they have OpenGL capabilites?

Good Question, I think we'll need at least 4 players and 1 to record, I can record if needed though. I would just need a list of commands so I can fly and get better angles\no clipping etc.

The RvB idea can still be done, maybe further along down the road.

Send me a PM about when you're planning to do this, I could feasibly host a server and/or get more players. Try to do it on the weekend, but I can't make any guarantees about my availability. I can record, but I can't upload, so I won't be much more than a server host and possibly a participant.

EDIT - also, I recommend playing this with SV_Cheats - the cameraman should use "take all", and "fly", then get rid of all crosshairs/HUD stuff, so it will look good. Note that there is a slight bob up and down when flying, I'm not sure what you can do about that; perhaps he should just spectate and then crop out the "press space to join" message.

MajorSlime · January 31, 2012, 02:22:12 AM

I'm pretty sure you can turn the bobbing off, either via acs or the options.

I think this weekend is really clear, on account of my family being out of town again.
@bobbing, I think that is what Atarian did when we filmed the sparta parody.
If you could host a server for us that would be spectacular.

There's definite bobbing in that video.

rexxor · January 31, 2012, 08:36:25 PM

I never noticed it, maybe I don't pay attention enough.

MajorSlime · January 31, 2012, 09:03:30 PM

>_<

I actually am not good for this weekend. I'll be busy the entire weekend except for maybe Saturday afternoon Pacific time.

rexxor · January 31, 2012, 10:51:05 PM

That is close to evening eastern time, Like I said I'll probably be available all weekend.
