Battery Canteens
- This demonstration has been reserved: Karmacharger 12:14 AM 1/11/2014 (PDT)
I want to do this, but I think I'll screw up. Should I download the split-screen version of the recorder? Edit: Okay, I've watched the normal Power Canteen video, and I have a few questions. 1. On the Engineer critical canteen part, how would I be able to spawn a robot that doesn't shoot instantly? 2. On the Engineer über canteen part, how would I be able to place a robot that I can control with shooting? 3. On the Engineer Buildings Upgrade canteen part, how would I be able to start the wave and not have any robots come out? 4. On the Engineer Refill Ammo canteen part, on the level 3 Sentry, would I be able to use a Wrangler, shoot all its ammo, then return with a default loadout and show it? 5. On the Medic canteen part, how do I spawn a bot that I can control and name Friendly Scout? 6. On the Medic Refill Ammo part, how would I be able to get the first person view of the bot? 7. In the video, how would I be able to take away the chat box so it doesn't say "[player] used [canteen]!"? Thanks ahead of time. Punishment Fatal (talk) 20:29, 13 June 2013 (PDT)
- For the bot stuff, you should look at this. For the chat stuff, you should use the setting
hud_saytext_time 0
. Darkid (|) 20:36, 13 June 2013 (PDT)- Thanks for that. I have another question though. When I try to download WeGame, it comes up with an error saying that my browser (Google Chrome) can't find that page. What should I do? Edit: Okay, I found out that WeGame was sold to Tagged and is no longer working. Is there any other sources besides Fraps that could work? I don't want to pay for it, and also I don't think Source Recorder can record me actually showing off the item in the loadout screen. Punishment Fatal (talk) 23:04, 13 June 2013 (PDT)
- Yes source recorder only record in-game [...]. But i'll recommended you to use "Mirillis Action!" [...] it's a recorder which is similar as fraps but trust me Mirillis Action is better. Karmacharger 4:01 , 6/14/2013 (PDT)
- Sweet, thanks for helping! (P.S. In future reference, thanks for giving me a little layout for the Battery Canteens). Punishment Fatal (talk) 02:32, 14 June 2013 (PDT)
- Edit: I don't think I can take this recording job anymore. When I try to upload a video, it says that it's in the wrong format so I can't do so. Also, whenever I record, I have a terrible framerate (around 15-20ish), and my HUD's messed up since I had a custom one before I reset it, and deleting most of the files did nothing. Punishment Fatal (talk) 11:37, 14 June 2013 (PDT)
- Youtube only support (.MOV .MPEG4 .AVI .WMV .MPEGPS .FLV .3GPP .WebM) what kind of video format do you used? .AVI and .WMV is recommended also there is another location folder for the hud Here (Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download). in mirillis action make sure the record option is .Avi file format , 60 fps , video size original if framerate are still terrible Try using Fraps to record. Karmacharger 8:38 , 6/15/2013 (PDT)
- Punishment Fatal: Since this is your first demo (and it's a big one), you should try uploading a sample clip having the same video quality as the final demonstration, in order to check that it meets the quality requirements — Wind 13:10, 15 June 2013 (PDT)
- Alright, but I do run into 2 problems. My first problem is that I can't find the sound file for the recordings and that I can't find the training_vid mp3 sound files anywhere. Where might I be able to find them? Edit: Sorry for the inconvenience, but I can't do this one anymore. My frames are really bugging me with any recording software and only if I put it at the lowest settings do I get decent ones.

- Should i do the same way as Power Up Canteen video? Karmacharger 10:43 PM 7/19/2013 (PDT)
- Yes. The only difference between the two (as far as I'm aware) is that the Battery Canteen doesn't have different skins for different types of fill. — Armisael (T · C) 07:46, 19 July 2013 (PDT)
- http://youtu.be/OZSrSTiEirU Karmacharger 7:23 PM 1/21/2014 (PDT)
- Like last time, during the first clip (with crits) you switch weapon almost at the same time as the crit boost runs out, so it looks like the crit boost is cancelled by the fact that you switched weapons. You should switch weapons earlier or later to show that this isn't the case (switching earlier would show that the crit boost persists, too). The Medic clip later clarifies this but that's a lot of time away from the first clip. The Engineer "instant building upgrade" clip is poorly cut (there's a long-ish pause at the beginning before you start looking around at the building, and the clip ends very quickly after the second upgrade is used. Remove some idle time from the beginning and add some at the end). There is a little "resupply" sound effect at the beginning of the spy's sapper clip (last clip of the video) that should be cut away. All the rest is good and the music is well-mixed — Wind 19:28, 26 January 2014 (PST)

Here is the finished product of the demonstration. Tell me what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqd0m2q68Fc&feature=youtu.be - If this meets the criteria I'm saying now that I recorded it with fraps, not source recorder so I will not have any .dem files. However I will be using srcdemo2 from now on. Obilisk (talk) 03:52, 15 February 2014 (PST)
- Sorry, but you need a .dem anyway. It's a hard requirement now (although some people conveniently "forget" to upload them...). You can record a .dem and with Fraps at the same time, since recording a .dem requires pretty much zero system resources. The quality is fine, although the colors seem a bit faded. Check if you don't have any unecessary colorspace conversion somewhere on your video rendering pipeline. The actual demonstration is good too. Try to see if you can fix the color issue, but it's not a big deal if you can't. Just redo the same thing (but recording a .dem along this time) and this should be alright — Wind 20:55, 16 February 2014 (PST)

- Demonstration Video Here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZpEdtXN6uo&feature=youtu.be
- This is my first demonstration video, and I would like to know if are any errors. Also I have problem with recording the demo, the life bar dissapear, and I cant find my demo file. I've done everything step by step, but I'm missing something... D3dp0w3r
- The demonstration is good but the audio isn't. It's either been encoded at a poor bitrate, either it has gone through a low-pass filter to remove all the bass from it (you can compare with the current version if you want). Try to see if that's just your rendering settings (in which case you can just rerender the video; use PCM audio or MP3/AAC with >192kbps for good results) or your capturing settings (in which case you should fix those). The relative volume between the music and the game sounds is also a bit off (music is too loud relatively to the game sound). Use the other videos as reference for what the balance should be. The video and the demonstration content are all good other than that. Thanks~ — Wind 14:31, 20 January 2014 (PST)
- Well about the music on the background, I didn't change it, I just drag the music on Sony Vegas, without editing. But I will edit it. Oh and question, this video need spiltscreen? Becouse the weapon have the ability to regent +3hp when activated, and I wanna show how fast you heal. Is that necessary? - D3dp0w3r (talk) 01:34, 21 January 2014 (PST)
- Yes, it is. But not splitscreen, do in the same way as Cozy Camper. Also you need to show about the time between last hit damage and the healing affect to the healing/sec or not (Like Medi Gun) Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 03:25, 21 January 2014 (PST)
- You may not have changed the music's volume but you may have changed the game's volume. The point is that the volume balance is off compared to other videos and you should restore it, whether that means increasing the game audio track's volume or decreasing the music track's volume. — Wind 19:28, 26 January 2014 (PST)

- The volume is better (although pretty low overall now, you may want to increase the volume for both the in-game audio and the background music) but the audio quality is still the same :( It feels very low-bitrate.

- There are still some issue at your video , What i found is those.
- No Demonstration background music , Link for the Demonstration Musics
- Backpack clips should be 4-5 seconds longer.
- Backpack loadout clips Shouldn't be recorded with the (Not usable in Crafting) Stats on your weapon.
- Please show a 6-screens comparison with boost and without boost , Here's an Example
- do things a bit quickly.
- at 2:26 Spy are visible? if you don't need the spy for your demonstration please kick the spy through the console.
- You need to show if the boost will reduced with falling and rocket jumps Here's an Example
- in Vegas Pro , 0.15 seconds for your fade is enough.
That's all , Good Luck! Karmacharger 9:12 PM 11/30/2013 (PDT)
- "0.15" in Vegas means "0 seconds + 15 frames", which is 0.5 seconds when you are working at 30 frames per second.
- Anyway:
- Small audio glitch at 0:21 (cuts out for a split second)
- What Karmacharger said, except the backpack loadout screen one (current duration is fine)
- At times, it feels like the scout is stuttering (especially when you start running just after getting some boost)

[Part 1 can craft] [Part 2] [Part 4] Split screens & BGM will add later. Achthenuts (talk) 07:50, 17 December 2013 (PST)
- First part: There's a little freeze when you fire the first shot at the pyro. The audio and the video lock up for a split second there
- Second part: The double jumps are not visible enough. They may seem clear to you because you were the one playing the spacebar, but to the viewer it's not very obvious. Try to use the second jump right when you're starting on the downwards half of the first jump (but early enough that it's clear you're still in the air). This way, the camera movement will make it clear that you double-jumped. Right now you use the two jumps very close to one another, so it just looks like one big jump
- The rest is good. Please make it into a single video~ — Wind 13:35, 27 December 2013 (PST)

— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Obilisk (talk) • (contribs)
- Here's what I found:
- No jigglebones, unlike the current demo :(
- Post-taunt transitions are too early. The camera has to return to first-person perspective entirely before the transition begins.
- The Demoman clip's video is missing (all black?)
- There is an loud and odd sound at the beginning of the Heavy clip (bodies being dropped on the ground, I'm guessing)
- The clip resets at 2:56 (right after the medic's taunt and before the sniper's loadout clip)
- Not sure why you say you should redo the Scout and Pyro clips, they look fine to me

- They are as I noted ("Post-taunt transitions are too early") but this applies to all clips (mostly). You don't need to re-record them though, just need to make the transition happen later — Wind 00:24, 7 January 2014 (PST)

- Switch the reflect clips and the ammo clip.
- Unbind your screenshot key when rendering the reflect clips so you don't get the 'take a screenshot!' dropdown thing.
- In the overload jump clip, do another one immediately after the first to show that you don't get enough height to chain jumps.
- In the other rocket jump clips, try to do a high jump and a long jump with each load.
- Nice work on the ammo clip - it's much better than before. — Armisael (T · C) 21:25, 19 September 2013 (PDT)

- I just realized that you never actually kill yourself using overload in that. After you kill the pyro with the overload explosions, let the last rocket off and then fill up one last time to show that. Other than that, it's good.

It won't be that hard. I actually learned it from watching TF2 videos. Just hold down the mouse button, and the horn stays on your screen. An example is minute 5:25 in this video.--Uknownada 21:08, 26 April 2013 (PDT)
- I'm not sure if that's obvious enough, really. If you don't know what is going on, it feels like the buff banner is just being glitchy for a while — Wind 19:56, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
- Maybe there could be a splitscreen with text in the top of each screen (similar to this video at 0:12). One screen would show the normal activation of the Buff Banner with "clicking the mouse button" in the top, and the other would show the Soldier holding the horn and walking around with it with "holding down the mouse button" in the top. That's really the only way I can think of to clearly demonstrate it. - Uufje 07:42, 3 May 2013 (PDT)
- Let's go with that, but perhaps using icons like these except less phallic and more public domain. Could be used on both screens, staying there for both clips but with the button turning red when pressed on either screen. It's better to use icons than text when possible so that articles in other languages can use it as well — Wind 20:18, 6 May 2013 (PDT)

I really don't think it's a glitch. The Banner has always been able to do that. The Battalion's Backup and Concheror do the same thing (I didn't request those because I wanted this to be approved first). I'm sure you can be able to know what's going on.--Uknownada 23:34, 3 May 2013 (PDT)

- It's not clear whether or not you would have gotten 2 crits out of the two teleporter parts or not, because you shot one of them with the pistol. It's OK to weaken it with the pistol, but having it deliver the final blow makes it impossible to tell. But it should also be shown what happens if you destroy a building with the pistol as final blow too, so you'll probably need two engineers. — Wind 20:55, 16 February 2014 (PST)

- The 4-way clip is to show the speed increase on 4 ranges (10%, 20%, 40% and 60% increased speed) detailed in the weapon's wiki page. As far as I know, there's no speed difference between 40hp and 1hp. I could record and add full health and 1hp clips though so it's a proper 6-way clip, if that's ok with you. --ThePsycho (talk) 20:48, 15 September 2013 (PDT)

- Great, it seems that the speed interval in the page is not entirely correct. Just found out that I run noticeably faster at 1 HP comparing to 40 HP so I tested it again to find out the real interval.
- The health range should be: 300-160 HP (0% increased speed/Soldier's base speed), 159-120 HP (10% increased speed), 119-80 HP (20% increased speed), 79-40 HP (40% increased speed), 39-1 HP (60% increased speed). Pretty much only 1 HP off from the original one shown in the table and graph.

- You should show that you can refill the minisentry, but that you can't repair it.
- The right side of the splitscreen fades in before the left at 1:24. The two sides should also be switched. — Armisael (T · C) 07:08, 3 August 2013 (PDT)

- Not sure if I can throw my thoughts into this but I'll do it anyways.
- Loadout screen is way to long.
- A little slow transition from the Pyro to the Soldier. Same with Soldier to Medic.
- Health comparison and Jumps, Right screen is cut off.
Ashes (talk) 13:16, 3 December 2013 (PST)
- What Ashes said. Also:
- Damage numbers should be yellow (Make sure you have installed the custom HUD files)
- There is a small audio bug at 0:34 (audio cuts for a split second)
- Split-screen clip is off-center (both halves)
- Please don't use blur in transitions, it may look cool but it's inconsistent with the other demonstration videos. A basic fade is fine, and it shouldn't last longer than 0.5 seconds.

- I'm currently working on this demonstration. However, I've noticed a few differences between my trials and in the video that's currently in use, namely the first part:
- The teleporter that's shot (i.e. the one with lower health) doesn't make a sound when returning to toolbox state, and, strangely, neither does the other one.
- The dispenser doesn't give a "used" red-tape upon being destroyed and returned to toolbox state.
- Is there any reason for this? There's practically no difference between my set-up and the one in the current video, apart from the fact that an engineer is standing next to the dispenser (to show that the sapper stops supplying metal/healing after being sapped) TFHK 10:30, 15 May 2013 (PDT)

Rescue Ranger
This demonstration has been reserved: — Armisael (T · C) 21:28, 26 January 2014 (PST)
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLOpSjWEXRs Just a heads up beforehand: there was an odd glitch when I was recording the split screen footage where every time I would move the health.vpk into my custom folder, the font would change on my HUD. I recorded that footage twice, and that glitch happened both times. I don't know what to do about it. I hope it's not too much of an issue, and I hope the rest of the video is to everyone's liking as well. MichaelWd (talk) 13:51, 13 October 2013 (PDT)
- Good demonstration, but you need more intro time on some clips. To the viewer seeing this setup for the first time, it's not obvious what buildings you have and where enemies are, etc. Take a moment at the beginning of the non-obvious clips to look around and point at things, especially the second clip and the clip with the friendly engineer's buildings. (Also don't wrench buildings when unpacking them or at least not during the upgrade cycles when it goes "ding")
The doesn't-resupply-ammo thing can be shown better by:
- Make a level 1 sentry (level 1 preferably because the fire rate is slower so it kills more slowly and it's more obvious when it resumes firing)
- Start recording
- Use the wrangler to put it almost out of ammo (you won't need the secondary weapon during the whole clip so it's OK to have it equipped since it won't be shown on video)
- Spawn a soldier in range (while still holding the sentry's fire away from it with the wrangler) using a key bound to bot and bot_teleport
- Change your aim such that the sentry is facing 180 degrees away from the soldier (to give you the most leeway when editing later)
- Switch to primary and change your aim to a good camera angle before the sentry finishes rotating towards the soldier
- The sentry will rotate and then run out of ammo before killing the soldier
- Try to to resupply it with the shotgun, sentry doesn't get refilled
- Hit it with the wrench, sentry gets refilled
- Show the soldier dying
- End recording
- In post, cut the beginning until the "Switch to primary" step (the clip should start with the shotgun equipped and having already completed equip animation, and the wrangler shield should have disappeared, but the sentry may not have rotated fully yet which gives some "intro time" before the soldier gets shot at)
The font issue is pretty odd. Did you do hud_reloadscheme before recording? Try various hud_ or ui_ commands and see if you can find something that works. Also try installing the TF2 fonts as system-wide fonts, I have no idea whether or not that can help or if it has anything to do with this but it can't hurt (and you get cool fonts to use in photoshop or whatever). You should also make the soldier not run out of ammo during the split-screen clip (leftmost soldier can be seen reloading). Hope this helps~ — Wind 14:31, 13 October 2013 (PDT)
- Thank you. I'm glad you liked most of it. I actually did exactly what you said for the second clip, but I cut out most of the "pointing out" stuff because I thought the video was running kind of long and I guess I just assumed that people would understand that I was healing my own buildings. But you're right, I should take people completely unfamiliar with the set-up into consideration. You're also right about the sentry ammo part, and I think I know how I'm gonna go about it differently. I'll do what I can about the HUD, and thanks for the suggestions. :) MichaelWd (talk) 15:11, 13 October 2013 (PDT)

- Yo guys, do I upload or not? MichaelWd (talk) 13:25, 16 October 2013 (PDT)
- Ok, you rushed much. I'll say what I see...
- You didn't show that the Mark for death also apply to normal pickup until the 3 ways-splitscreen (And yes, you show only for Wrench. Maybe pistol too if necessary).
- Soldier locations are really weird, why don't you put them on the ground? Also about range repair part, I don't think it's necessary to use 2 soldiers. Only 1 is enough, just use command to face the bot to another building.
- The Teleporters part, why don't you put in nearby? So we can check that the both side will not repair after shot at one side? Also, no need to repair another side of teleporters, we just need to show about how it repairs.
- The ammo restore part, I suggest to pick the sentry already then deploy it, not carry it with its ability.
- Seem to be little lag at 3:13
- Also, first world problem. Custom crosschair...

- Ok, you rushed much. I'll say what I see...
- You can ignore what Hinaomi said about mark for death (That's what the 3-way splitscreen is for. No need to demonstrate it earlier.). Soldier locations are weird but it's not a huge deal. Using 2 soldiers is alright as well. No significant lag at 3:13 for me, the rocket seems to pause in mid-air for a bit but it's barely noticeable so it's alright. Custom crosshair needs to be fixed though, you can probably fix it by just re-rendering your .dem files with fixed crosshair settings so that you don't have to redo everything — Wind 16:42, 27 October 2013 (PDT)
- If I don't have to re-record anything that's good. How exactly do I fix the crosshair settings without re-recording though? MichaelWd (talk) 19:31, 27 October 2013 (PDT)

- For one, you aren't using the default crosshair for the rescue ranger. I'm not sure why you're having trouble with this -
weaponref.cfg
should reset your crosshair to be totally default. Anyways, default settings are all colors all the way up (producing white) andcl_crosshair_scale 32

The Saharan Spy
This demonstration has been reserved: Obilisk (talk) 15:00, 12 February 2014 (PST)
Alright. I have put together a video, however I'm uncertain of the quality of the footage. I'm not sure if it's just my computer and youtube, or if the footage is a bit dodgey, but check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIDrP9KMBbE&feature=youtu.be The footage also looks a bit... bare. So I was thinking of adding an additional clip displaying the use of an action item (Such as the directors taunt) and showing that the item set also effects the action slot taunts. But you tell me what you guys think.
- Please provide a third-person in-game view like the current demo does. Arguably doing the taunts already does that, but since there's a particle effect during the taunt, it looks (to someone who hasn't read the description) like you always have this effect on rather than only when taunting. The footage looks fine to me quality-wise and content-wise, it could use a smoother framerate but that's not really critical for a straightforward, movement-less demo like this one. Also, the loadout view is way too long; look at the current Saharan Spy demo and use a similar timing as that — Wind 14:26, 12 January 2014 (PST)

Mark some of the demonstation as "Urgent"?
