Attention movie makers! Nexuiz Demo Recorder
Hey there,
during the past couple of days (weeks!) I've been working on a Java application (GUI) that allows you to automatically record demos. You can create jobs that say "record demo x from second a to second b and save the avi/ogv file to location y). You can even specify if some commands are supposed to be executed before and after recording starts. The program will then automatically execute one job after another.
This tool is useful for anyone who creates Nexuiz clips (e.g. for YouTube) or especially those who are recording a lot of demos for a movie, or want to try out how different configs look, but hate waiting in front of their screen in order to fast-forward to the right time, enabling capturevideo, and then waiting until the stuff you want to record is captured and stopping the capture process.
For this to work I ported divVerent's perl script (demo TC) to java. The tool will work on any platform that has Java installed, with any Nexuiz engine version, with any Nexuiz demo.
The application is not done yet. But here you can see a demo video.
Here are a few mock-ups of the UI.
I'll keep you posted.
I hope that the massive amount of time I put into this will amortize, simply by the time saved by using the program (by you and me).
