SFM Tips and Tricks - Games

[QUOTE=PieClock;19500100]Does anyone know how to get the hud back if you push escape while in game mode?[/QUOTE] what i did was delete the background map so it loads quicker, enabled developer console and when the hud is hidden, press the console button to get it back

[QUOTE=KingKombat;19498737]I hate my life now. Just as I set the final camera after a successful movie, I get the windows plague. "lololo hl2.exe has experienced some shit now fuck off loser" Motherfuck, I nerdraged really fuckign hard.[/QUOTE] Note how in one of my posts above I mentioned that SFM doesn't save cameras so if it crashes you have to do it again? I know this because it happened to me a few times (otherwise that soldier video would've been alot longer if it didn't crash like that) Making more than one sequence *might* stop it from crashing (so like every 3 or 4 shots make a new sequence), but I have yet to test that. It's just an idea, a stupid one, but it's something to try [editline]06:11AM[/editline] You could always render out one shot, then another and another and combine them in a video editor, but that takes more time and having everything in one render is more useful for me

F + move your mouse to tweak the focal distance. If you don't wanna enable AA, DoF acts as a natural one

[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;19498458]When in the camera tool, control clicking on a point will set that to the focal point for DoF. For example, control leftclicking on the middle scout sets the focal point to (image) resulting in (image) [/quote] Even moderators are doing it now. I propose we unban accidentalypse.

Yes.

I cant believe that you are calling this [B]Tera's[/B] SFM FAQ when you ripped everything off that other thread :/

Fearlezz speaks the truth.

Yes, I'm not as off-the-boat engaged in this thread.

[QUOTE=Zombii;19498771]Does ANYONE know where to get the beta? Cmon, you can just PM me. :buddy:[/QUOTE] Use google, its the first result.

If you record something with two cameras, one a little to the side of the other, and overlap them, would you get a working 3d video of tf2? If had glasses of course

You would.. Interesting question. You'd need software that knows what to with it, but it would be interesting.

[QUOTE=Smashman;19504465]You would.. Interesting question. You'd need software that knows what to with it, but it would be interesting.[/QUOTE] Not really, you'd just have to color one track red and the other one blue, it should work.

No I mean you'd have to have a program the generates the 3d picture.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS;19504525]Not really, you'd just have to color one track red and the other one blue, it should work.[/QUOTE] You take video like this [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/IceAgeMikey2/Kids1.jpg[/img] and overlap them in a certain way, when it gets to your glasses they seperate them. Allowing you to watch the movie without your eyes crossed. The glasses "cross" the image for you,

Got it, thanks!

Video is done, uploading! It looks awesome!

[QUOTE=Dlaor;19504905]I'd appreciate it if anyone could PM me a link to the TF2 beta. I can't find anything using Google...[/QUOTE] Good god. It's SERIOUSLY easy.

I'm reuploading the vid, it wouldn't work.

Are you guys using H.264 Video Encoding ? I use it and it's very good ! :D

[QUOTE=dangwarrior;19506922]Well he was banned for suggesting warez, and you clearly took his advice. I mean, technically, anyone that posts screenshots of SFM is admitting to/ bragging about warez.[/QUOTE] Not necessarily, keeping a backup of an old version of TF2, from when you saved it, is perfectly legal. In fact, that's how this came about. I'm not saying everyone did that, but giving people the beta version of the game in a torrent is definitely warez.

Nobody actually still has the old files, that's bullshit. And he didn't even link to it in his post.

[QUOTE=dangwarrior;19507085]Nobody actually still has the old files, that's bullshit. And he didn't even link to it in his post.[/QUOTE] The first guy who introduced this did, and as long as people don't expressly say they torrented, they can't be convicted. I don't even have SFM, though, so no banny plz. :unsmith: By the way, bay saying that, do you mean you torrented it? :v:
