Building The Anti-hop Base, A Video Tutorial

As my first mini-project for the Void of Deity guild, I've created and commentated a video tutorial for making a mara/goon *-proof base on ATCS.
Check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZJc3p0A8yQ

high quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZJc3p0A8yQ&fmt=18

Excellent guide. Hopefully people will use it!

Lava Croft

While the Reactor is hopping-Alien-proof, so to speak, the armoury is too exposed, and will be sniped by any half-decent Dragoon entering your base through the front.

Nonetheless, it's always good to teach people proper turret placement, keep up the good work.

Do please increase the gamma slightly for any future videos, some parts turned up rather dark here, on both CRT and LCD.

KamikOzzy

I agree about the gamma, I've seen some way-too-dark Trem vids on youtube, but I always assumed the newbies just used default brightness, thanks for comments and suggestions :)

Would be very nice if later on (when your website advances) you could also put it on your new website in a sane video format. So, old people like me don't have to fiddle with youtube converters 8-))

Mplayer plays the .flv format just fine. No need to convert.

Nice guide Ozzy, but as i said you tried it with a lisk or a mara?

Mara fails, lisk has a chance of survival.

No, you just fail at using Google.

Why should I feel the need to use crap third party software to download videos crapily re-encoded by crap like youtube to view it when there is/will be webspace it might get hosted on in a clean format?

KamikOzzy

I shared some frustrations as well, I new Youtube played "flash" videos so I figured it'd be nice if I uploaded it as a *shockwave* flash video. Big mistake, major fail. The version you see there was originally a wmv, I just didn't want to wait so long in uploading the avi, but Yeah I'll upload shit once I get somewhere to stick it :)

Because so far, that is the only option. Nobody is forcing you to watch this video, and all you have to do is paste the link to the YouTube video on one of the linked websites and you get a nice and easy download link to the .flv file. This is how I always watch YouTube videos on my Arch Linux box, it's easy, painless and hardly a challenge to anyone using an exotic OS like Linux.

lol, i built your base but forgot about the rc move, and i kept taunting ppl telling them to try a rc jump. It didnt end well.

Good basic guide ozzy, thanks for making it.

I feel much better about letting newbies build now.
