Conniver's Kunai

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PMTcDKBUrc -Armisael 21:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Nitpicking, but I think we need a few more seconds to read the weapon description. GeminiViRiS Talk Contribs 21:37, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

• A longer loadout view.
• An even longer loadout view.

No skin off my back. -Armisael 22:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Ohai~

• The (enemy) Spy must not be seen until it's time to tauntkill it
• Crit (backstab) animation isn't playing (you have to manually enable crits for knife demos)
• Try to get the same animation for both Soldier backstabs at 0:51, so that we feel like the same thing is happening in both cases. Also, wait a little longer before ending the sequence
• For the loadout view, pick something between the first one and the medium one (should last 4~6 seconds)

i-ghost already has a demo for it (I think), so you might want to wait until he posts it before editing yours — Wind 23:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Here's my take on the Kunai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inp9mjjpxTE

And I've only just noticed the splitscreen thing, I can attach a similar sequence to my video if you feel it's necessary. i-ghost 13:26, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

For your consideration. -Armisael 15:17, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Second version with the splitscreens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX1kM3fA6Yo i-ghost 16:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Arr, two simultaneous videos D: I think I prefer Armisael's one though, because in i-ghost's one, the splitscreen'd videos are squeezed and their colors look off. This being said, Armisael's relative audio volume is a bit off (can't really hear the in-game sounds), and the framerate is a bit choppy at times. So, whoever fixes it first I guess — Wind 17:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1824HHoi9HI. Hopefully this will do the trick. -Armisael 20:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Da, dis vil vork~ Thanks — Wind 20:35, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

-Armisael 21:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Nitpicking too, but please make the backpack view one or two seconds longer here as well D: — Wind 23:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRtVCqJjVRo -Armisael 15:17, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

My bad again, but I forgot to mention the lack of reloading here (for both the Scattergun and the Pistol). Sorry >.< — Wind 17:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXvRK-oU1V8 -Armisael 20:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Good, but why did you remove the "transfer" part? D: It was quite a good idea — Wind 20:35, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bDmmTVwoVc. Heh. I just forgot to throw the clip into the video editor. I really need to clean out the files of recorded videos. -Armisael 20:56, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Yay~ — Wind 22:38, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

The Special Delivery

Easy as pie. Splitscreen between normal scout and scout with set, fire two rockets at each; normal scout dies, set scout lives. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by EpicCombine (talk) • (contribs)

(Please sign your comments) — Wind 19:13, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

To give it a bit more depth I suggest to split the screen horizontally showing both Scouts with the very same loadout except the Milkman. Cycle slowly through Shortstop, Mad Milk and Holy Mackerel in first person, taunt or go in third person to show the hat (or lack thereof) then getting attacked by the bot. Other hat-sets could use a similar scheme, non-hat-sets may lack the melee weapon.--Kid Of The Century 15:21, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, but third person to show the hat (no taunting) — Wind 00:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, i'll make sure to do that. -EpicCombine 01:57, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

See demoman bundle for comments on the hud. -Armisael 01:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Framerate seems a bit low, especially during the weapon-switching part... Hat thing should be slower and use tf_thirdperson_platformer (see the Pyro set demo). The first part (showing the weapons) shouldn't be split screen. Non-set Scout should have all-default weapons. Rest is good~ — Wind 00:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXkoJ9x4fIs I apologize for the lengthy delay; my local servers started to go screwy and restrict unlockable access. This was a problem, as you can imagine. -Armisael 21:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, this is good~ — Wind 23:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

The Expert's Ordnance

Here is my attempt at a set, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmU-5C6n8EU. Kept this pretty rough, im not quite sure how sets should be done other than showing bonuses. (ps 1000th edit!) ~Garticuno♥_(talk) 20:13, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

That's exactly how it should be done, yes; not more complicated than that. However, please wait a few seconds before having the Pyro fire. Right now, the Pyro is firing right after the splitscreen, which is kind of confusing (doesn't give the viewer time to figure out which is which). Also, do it for 2 full afterburns instead of just 1 — Wind 20:32, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I was having some trouble timing the two after burns so the GL and LL would be synced so I tried to do this in a similar manner to the Bushwacka demonstrations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41EcLwX5EFM Also the 10% resistance doesn't even make a difference with afterburn, it does 60 damage either way so I'm not sure if using afterburn is the best example. ~Garticuno♥_(talk) 20:35, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

No, this is harder to compare than split-screen. I think that then you're better off just holding down F until dead for both demomen — Wind 20:39, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Well I tried that and... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNnhgsmL86U The damage difference with flames is so little I'm not sure how to accurately demonstrate this. Unless there's a way to have a pyro bot always fire the same ammount of ammo. ~Garticuno♥_(talk) 21:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I see. There is a way to make the bots do a sequence of actions at a regular interval (using the wait command), so you could do that to make it spew flames at regular intervals. Otherwise, maybe slowing down the video is the best solution (but make sure it's still above 30 fps) — Wind 21:19, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

If you can get a second player to help, use the Flare Gun, which will deal constant damage every hit. Toomai Glittershine 02:17, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDe4sRbZsNU I used zhnigo's hud for this, because I feel that it conveys information (and looks) far better than a horizontal split screen. It's a minor modification, frankly, and a split screen is already a visual effect that can't be done in game. -Armisael 01:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks~ — Wind 04:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Just realized that this also has the "showing off the weapons" part in split-screen... Sorry for my incompetence >.< — Wind 13:27, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIwhiwKwJew -Armisael 21:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

The third-person part in other set demos is for showing off the hat of the set, in the same way that the weapons are shown sequentially right after the backpack view. Since this set has no hat, it is not necessary to use third-person~ — Wind 23:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :3 This is good~ — Wind 17:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

The Medieval Medic

-Reserved by EpicCombine ok, so here's what i got so far: [1] i believe it has the necessary elements to demonstrate the faster rate of healing, hope it's good enough. thanks wind for telling me about Sony Vegas, but it's gonna take a while for me to find the proper keygen to use it, so for now i'm using a keygen'd version of CyberLink PowerDirector Ultra for the splitscreen. -EpicCombine 01:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

(You can sign your comments with ~~~~, not by just typing your name) This doesn't correspond to the technical requirements listed on the project page:

• Not HD (video must be at least 720p)
• Using low-quality graphics (must be at least medium quality)
• Video has less than 30 frames per second (not smooth)
• Wrong aspect ratio (there are black bars on both sides of the video)

These requirements must be met before any video is approved D: — Wind 23:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. meh, it was my first attempt anyways, and with hypercam 3 i was sure to fail. xD i'll get fraps and find a way to fix those problems so i can get this first vid over with. thanks for your help man, really appreciate it. :) -EpicCombine 01:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

My attempt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Qv3CPwP7s ~Garticuno♥_(talk) 21:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

All good, except audio: the in-game one is relatively low compared to the music, and that music is a little overused (please swap it with another one if possible) — Wind 22:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

take2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD5SP295E00 ~Garticuno♥_(talk) 04:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOZF07NJV1g. This is a fairly simple demonstration, so I thought I'd throw one together since this hasn't been updated in almost two weeks. -Armisael 01:26, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, is good~ — Wind 02:47, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
