[Cinematic] THE LONE FOOTMAN - Part 1

[hellblazer-14]

Hey Everyone! The First episode / stage of the Lone Footman has been completed and uploaded, so I thought I'd put it up in the cinematics forum as well

Hope everyone likes it, it took a fair while to complete (kept running into bugs with my limited triggering and terraining skills ). Part 2 should not take as long as the first, If I have time enough to work on it.

Download Part 1 here - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=85255

Well thats all for now, If you find any problems in it, feel free to PM or e-mail me over msn. And people, I really need some voice actors! I have 2 out of the 5 I need!

Thanks Everyone, and Enjoy

some how, he doesn't look very lonely at all.

 

[hellblazer-14]

its the first episode, where we find out why he is "lone" XD

 

[Oziris]

I can be your voice actor, if you want me to.

 

[PurgeandFire]

I will watch a little bit later. A bit busy right now. >.>

Looks nice from the screenshots though, maybe some more atmosphere would do the trick.

 

[hellblazer-14]

meh, atmosphere... I did my best with that, but I've never used terrain f0g (LOL) and haven't really found any good guides on using it...

Did the best with the sky and the weather I could, so If someone could help me learn a little more about the terrain fog....

Some of the info might be false, a little though. I didn't know too much back then.

 

[hellblazer-14]

thank you!!! Always wanted to learn how to use terrain fog !!!

Thank you again!!!

 

[Oziris]

So do u need me or not ?

 

[hellblazer-14]

Oziris, I sent you a PM saying that I would really appreciate your help. Go on MSN more so I can talk to you.

 

[PurgeandFire]

I'll go ahead and wait until this is more finalized. Some areas are pretty good, such as the terrain. The terrain is nice but it just needs a bit of fog perhaps as I said before. The cameras could be a little better by giving a better view of everything, and the lag could be fixed by reducing the farZ and making more close up shots so such a large FarZ is not necessary. (The farZ is the extent in which things are displayed, if there are too many things in the background, it can help to reduce the farZ to prevent as much lag.

And I think there were a few grammatical errors as well.

But pretty good work, I hope to see more!

 

[varsaigen]

the lag is your computer. Clean the temp files and other junk to make it faster. Not to mention defragging your harddrive. That should clear up some of the lag.

Also, having a larger harddrive helps a lot. I had no lag what so ever!

 

[Mechmap]

Very good cinematic I must say though it is not yet finished. Looking forward to the finalized part 1 and the next part!

No, it is the FarZ. Trust me, it is the major source of the lag. That or leaks... (Though that shouldn't cause major problems so fast)

I have defragged my hard drive and cleaned my computer, it is just that some computers just can't handle it.

 

[hellblazer-14]

Thank you PurgeandFire,

I will immediately get on decreasing the far Z and adding some fog, so that people with older computers won't get as much lag...

Thanks for telling me this! And thanks also for the tutorial.

Well, part of the problem must be the computer, bcause I have a perfect lag free cinimatic when I view it. Sooo, if what I suggested didn't help, then I don't know what else. Sorry.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Nice!

Very Nice.

Great Unit Models and Building Models! I liked the story alot and if your looking for help im really good with spells. =D

Pros
_______
Great Unit Models
Great Building Models
Sweet Story
Great Cam Setting

Cons
______________
Bad Grammer and Spelling (can help)
Some sounds annoying (such as units keep dying)

 

[icecream_pirate]

its great, but i think the dialogue lasts too long. Also i wish u can skip the credits because usually ppl want credits so ppl know its their work and not ne1 elses and if someone decides to skip the credits, its not going to disappear, you can always go back to it and say," AHA! proof that this model/sound/etc. is MINE and not YOURS. Therefore, I deserve full credit for what i have contributed!," . If you add the ability to skip credits, the ppl being credited wouldn't really hate the map maker but instead the person who skipped the credits therefore u make everyone happy.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Whens part 2 coming out?

 

[Bob27]

He has probably stopped working on it, I am not absolutely sure about that though.

 

[Septimus]

He still work out on it, is just that he too busy with his real life.

 

[hellblazer-14]

Sorry D:

Hey Guys

As many of you've probably noticed, I've been inactive on the site for a very long time (many months D...

Anyhow, I am working on part 2 now, along with finishing my altered melee, so it shouldn't take too long until the rest comes out. School and real life has been a bit of a bitch too me lately, guess thats the best excuse I've got

 

[Oziris]

I miss you best freind! i hope u finish your footman. Damn those schools...take away all the fun.

 

[hellblazer-14]

I could not agree more

 

[pkw]

[hellblazer-14]

Thanks! Lol, I'm working on it.

 

[lord_ken]

Errr, Do you need any help on this? Cause it seems it'll take you more time to finish it alone.

 

[hellblazer-14]

mmmmmmmmmm no thank you, I'm a pretty horrible team worker, and I can alot my time better and work more efficiently when I'm alone

Thanks for the offer though!

 

[doom_sheep]

[Total_Warrior]

This was a good cinematic in my opinion.But the part when

May contain spoilers

The guy died then the footman said something about not getting a promotion i was like ''wtf is a promotion THAT important than a guy dieing?''
