Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

Due to (lack of) popular demand, I am making videos of myself in action with the ND80 team available for you to download and enjoy.

My online name is UnknownSoldier, and I'll be your tour guide. Expect to see lots of grenades flying!

Grenade Justice

In a recent match against Kernal Panic (using their TX|BDS tags), one of their players was doing a fairly good job spawn camping us poor Allies with his panzer, until I decided to toss up a grenade for his inspection :)

Grenade Ownage

This is me owning a couple of POV guys before I decide to commit suicide. Hey, where'd my medic go??

Grenade Mastery

Sometimes I amaze myself what a well-placed grenade can do. Check out the poor POV guys who get to watch their seawall battery blow up!

This is how to properly destroy an axis defense of the bank with the rifle grenade, and get away with the goods.

This sequence shows me getting behind the attacking allies, twice, getting in some hice headshots, and still finding time to create chaos with grenades and landmines (and forcing some poor allied medic into axis artillery).

By special request, a grenade dropped on a man's head.

Tools Used

There are utilities available for you to create videos just like I did! The quality is fairly good, considering the tools are all free.

To create the video, you'll need several tools:

• Seismovision allows you to play recorded demos from a wide variety of FPS games, all in one place. It's a bit quirky, but works well.
• Fraps is a capture tool that you run before playing back the demo. Version 1.9D is a bit ugly, but doesn't impose any time limits on the data.
• VirtualDub is a video editing tool that also lets you take advantage of various codecs installed on your system to make your videos a reasonable size.

First, load Fraps into memory. Now either run Seismovision or the game itself, and select your demo. While the demo runs, you press a key to toggle Fraps' video capturing on and off. The data is stored as an uncompressed AVI file, so watch out; it will get very large, very quickly!

After you have a suitable AVI, use VirtualDub to remove the segments you don't want. You can also apply filters to adjust color, brightness and the like. When it's time to store the results, make sure you select Video | Compression... and choose a codec so the output video will be a managable size when you're done.
