[Nosfore]

Well, we missed this week.

Next recording session is postponed to august 12.

[[HUN]Oli]

Ahm hey guys.

I also signed up for acting, but was away. Can somebody just briefly inform me what I have to do now?

Thank you

[Nosfore]

Be ready for next Saturday.

If you can, find someone to host.

[[HUN]Eagletooth]

Count me in... I think i am good with human but i suck with alien... So i can act for humans...
I can host smaller games too, and i think my sys is good enough to avoid lagg most of the time... (except of train station map...)

better use the irc?

[Nosfore]

I can e-mail you all if you wish.

Write to fbolduc@hotmail.com with the topic "Tremulous Demo".

If you dont put topic "Tremulous Demo", you'll end-up in my junk-mail.

[vcxzet]

failed again?

[Nosfore]

Indeed.

I am not willing to spend more time on this if there are not enough people serious about getting it done.

If we are to make this demo, we need a better communication method.

I give a last chance to anybody willing to help making a demo to e-mail me to confirm it. You have untill Sunday August 20 at 23h59. Afther that, if there are not enough people, I'm abandonning this project.

e-mail me to confirm that you are interested at fbolduc@hotmail.com
Please put "Tremulous Demo" as the subject of you message. If you don't put "Tremulous Demo" as the subject, your message will be filtered in my junk-mail.

I will only consider people that actually send an e-mail to me, so don't bother stating it on the forum or the wiki.

[Nosfore]

As of today, I have not received enough messages to ensure that the demo may be feasible. I am retiring myself from this project.

The wiki was closed.

If anybody want to restart this project in the future, please contact me, i'll consider helping you.

[to moderators: you may want to close this topic]

I think the demo could be reformed to a video-tutorial project.
That way you could include more people (for the video editing and sound fx) and have more control over the output.

Shame that you abandoned the project, it looked promising.

[StVald]

Im sorry about abondonning this... but I was away on vacation. I believe we should wait until the end of summer before we restart this, by then we wont be caught up in lengthy excursions.

Video = big size was the problem..
Try again later!

The videos could be uploaded on youtube or googlevideo, that would solve the solve the hosting issues. And a tutorial video would be 2-3 mins. Which (at medium quality) could be around 10-15 mbs.

Most trem playes have a decent connection. So streaming videos (especially when you can pause and let them buffer) wouldn't be a problem.

[David]

trem is more than 100mb
10mb is nothing compared.

[Jaradcel]

If you'll take a man who sucks at everything except strafing away from 'goons, jumping wildly with his marauder, and ALOT of building (far more then should be given to any single man!!! *sobs*) I'll do some writeups for you guys if you want.

Except with google video, you can't save it to the hard drive for later watching, a .dm file will be much smaller in size and can be saved to the hard disk.

I'm willing to help out if someone wants to continue this project, if noone wants to head up this thing I can. This was/is a goood Idea that shouldn't be hard to do, and it would be a good addition to Tremulous.

Still, a .dm file will indeed be much smaller but :
- it is difficult to use
- you cannot seek in the stream
- it will probably be unusable with a newer ( or older ) version of Tremulous

[Jaradcel]

I could be wrong, but doesn't youtube and Google video already support downloads of their shows? And even if they don't, there's easily a few extensions from Firefox that allow you to do so....
