Title: Screen Recorders
Post by: jtw1984 on May 15, 2010, 05:25:37 AM
Does anyone here use screen recorders such as Camtasia or Camstudio to record big UO fights? If so, what codec do you use? Settings?

I have recently started recording some big fights just for the amusement of some guildies. My very first video was 5 minutes long. The quality was great but the file size was 1.2 gb.  :'(

I'm trying to find a good codec to use to hopefully cut file size to at least youtube limits (which I can't remember off hand).

I just downloaded camtasia the other day, but haven't got to mess around with it yet. I got the techsmith codec which is supposed to work good. I also have divx codec.

Should be interesting :D.

How can you and one other guy teleport onto the island in despise with 6 people on it and just start whither spamming without recording it? lol

you should post up the youtube link when you get it done.  :D

Hmmm I might post some vids here if I get a good codec. I'm just kind of hesitant to post videos of my characters though. If I can block out the image of my character then I def will.

are you cutting the video size down to just your actual UO Screen and not the black space/paperdoll/etc. taht would probably cut the size in half.
Title: Re: Screen Recorders
Post by: jtw1984 on May 16, 2010, 04:51:17 AM
Yeah I attempted this with camtasia last night using the techsmith codec.  I make sure to only include the actual UO screen. I recorded about a five minute video with good resolution that was around 80 mb.

I'm sure with some more tweeking I could probably reduce the quality to make it good enough for youtube. However, I enjoy watching UO field fights in full screen.

So I will continue adjusting and I will post up my final settings for anyone who needs it!

I've been wondering this forever too.  At times we have some pretty crazy fights I wish I could record just because sometimes they're so funny!  My guild consists basically of 3 players on like 3-4 shards, so we just have to keep moving & try to pull out some crazy trap ideas!  Hoping to pick up like 2-3 more eventually so we can do some stupid witherbomb/hail storm kamikazes against like 30 people!

Ah man I have long dreamed of having about 6 mystics pre cast hailstorm and run up and dump on a group of people.

Yeah I have Camtasia and Camstudio. I def recommend Camtasia so far. Camtasia does seem to lag my system up a bit more, but has the better codecs and functionality.

The main difference is camtasia costs 200-300 dollars, but there are always things you can do!

I just know JC from HOT/HEAT always posts vids of harry fights and what not. I decided that would be something interesting. At least 10 years from now you could have something to watch and be amused by it. :D

i liked the one video of a despise fight he posted.  no lie he did like a mindblast, teleport, flamestrike combo on some guy it was freaking hilarious i almost fell out of my chair!  i couldn't tell if he was serious or what but i couldn't take the video serious after that hahaha.

Haha ya that's what I'm tryin for.  Half mystics half necros.  Wither is pretty crazy fast.  the mystics stand back and just cleansing wind.  withers tele in and wither bomb soon as the mystics drop a hail storm and take all the heals.  Rignt now i'm the only one wither bombing which sucks cause i run outa mana so quick i gota step back and omen/vamp em.  The best was my alchemist mystic.  Throw like 3 explode pots and a hail storm will almost kill someone in a grinder.  If I could get two players like that it would be game over if one good wall hits for any group of players lol.

lol referring to the despise fight video. Yeah I believe I saw something like that too. A guildie was fighting him once. He said he bola'd him, and during the fight JC ran over and picked up the bola and then continued fighting. haha

I remember one video he posted where he was fighting someone from TF+R and the entire fight he was just spamming Evaluating Iintelligence on them to check how much mana they had. When they were depleted he finally started fighting some. haha

But yeah I wonder if 3 mystics would be enough to heal 3 necros given the mystics were all in protection. Maybe an even better tactic would have the necros start wither spamming as the mystics spell plague the targets. Then start healing. I bet the damage would be insane.

On another side note, I saw someone playing new client. He had made some crazy macro for explo pots in choke point situations which basically involved double clicking pot and target next enemy hostile. You should have seen this macro. He was doing it at Luna bank one day and he targetted about 20 people in the matter of twenty seconds. Nice macro I could imagine for choke fighting.

If you want any help testing on Legends, Cats or GL let me know. I don't have mystics on any of those shards but I'll gladly train it up to help out.... Starting to work a pvp mystic/mage on Cats now.

My guild has made a branch on Legends, to farm powerscrolls. So maybe you will end up making videos with them  ;)
Title: Re: Screen Recorders
Post by: OMGBurgers on May 17, 2010, 01:20:10 PM
I play legends but it's hard now.  I'm basically running solo since my friend transfered his mystic/mage to GL, and my other friend has a necro/mage but don't like getting zerged so much so he won't play there lol.  The yew pvp is pretty much impossible since noone likes to 1v1 and there's a lack of cramped housing to pull quick traps haha.

I'm leaving my mystic there for now, may transfer him off at one point though if I don't start playin him more there.

I'm going to play my first stealther just about ever in a week or so on GL, solo factions & I'm going to mess around w/ the recording.  Hopefully I can get it all figured out before my friends complete their stealthers.  It's going to be fun w/ 3x alchemist ninjas running around with 220+ mana to dump on their desire :D

I know what you mean X is zergin for real here on legends. We just hooked up with some people not to long ago to make things a lil more even. Hit me up we could use a few more.

Nice Hardy. I always wanted to make a template based around 69.9 mage. I never have gotten around to it.

mage 54.9 (+15 tome knowledge)
ninja 120
eval 120
anat 120
heal 80
parry 120
chiv 105

make a bunch of darts and shurikens on another acount and go pvp ;) (because 69.9 magery = low poison lv and low chance)

stats
80
60
115

120
120
140 with pots + items

need make some upgrades because the new ubber leet items (like slither and other leet items), but in this video i use

Ornament
inquisitors
ring fc1 dci14 str8 dex8 lrc15
talisman void
hom
arcane shield
crimson
aof
pendant

sleves legs with 4 resists + mr2

i did rly cool runics (old time when 15day acct pick bods, so 3brsk/day)


now i can rly improve this suit, adding slither, infinity or the sdi cloak , int boots, condemed or conjurer robe, remove hom put the glasses fcr3 dci, remove fey put legs mr + props, remove ink put gloves with props, lol it can turn into a funny char to use on field.

Update! I got Camtasia now. The codecs really work wonders. I was going to record my first duel today, but then realized I had some mods going on that might get me in trouble. :X

But Camtasia seems to run alot better than CamStudio.

I semi know someone on Atlantic that plays on Legends. He invited me to join his guild on Legends so I'm just finishing up the mystic and I will be on my way over there! Then since I know a few people play legends I can post up some vids. :D

I played on Legends years ago with AE. Maybe I should dust off some characters. I'd probably need to redo them completely.

I think all shards are dying. Looks like Atlantic, Pac and Europa are going strong though. GL and maybe a couple others are borderline. But with school out I'm sure we'll see some more action everywhere.

Atlantic seems to be getting alittle slow as of late. Someone has been popping Harrys to try and spark fights, but only HEAT shows up with 10+ to take them.

I tried fighting them by myself, but called it quits.

Get an nVidia graphics card that's 650 or higher and use ShadowPlay. Writes all video events to two streams: the first is what you see on your screen, the second gets written to temporary memory chip on the graphics card that stores the last 20 minutes of whatever happened on your screen. This way, if you forget to hit "Record" you still have the fight! Also, they've made a lot of enhancements for it so you can record only certain windows and such as well (for fullscreen games). You can also live stream to Twitch if you want to! I've used it a bunch for SWTOR.  I'd post up some samples but they're all pretty large files.
