Curse

They come in 2 flavours, 300mb almost full quality version, and 150mb version for those that don't care much for quality, but still very readable. I used filefront as I don't know any other places to put it. If you fancy mirroring, PM me with the URL.

Word about sound. I started recording in windowed mode which isn't a proper 1024x768 so it will look smaller at first, this also weirded out the sound. I didn't know if he's show up again so I kept the old files, but as they took up so much room I had to delete them again when I started the new recording. Needed to do this in explorer and most people know guild wars stops playing music when out of focus. Then I had to switch to fullscreen. This buggered up the sound for the next block, delaying the audio by about 5 seconds, I adjusted this in premiere, but the end of the block had no sound, so I faded out and faded in the audio for the next block about 8-9 minutes in. Apologies.

300Mb version:
FileFront

150Mb version:
FileFront

I also captured him on video using fraps...but in the midst of the event i got lagged out! I could continue the event but my fraps stopped working so i only got 3/4 of the event.

I took two screenies though.

I'll wait and see if he re-appears, I'm sitting on my own in a certain district

so yeah. Hope I get full footage this time. I don't appear to be getting lag errors, but once all the n00bs show up to swear at the king etc show up, my fps goes down.

Got him in full with a small group which was nice. 17.7Gb of uncompressed footage, so who wants an encode?

Use virtualdub and use divx codecs, afterwards you can also try to put it in a flashfile (1/5 of the size).

lol i also frapped the whole thing. Only 2.8gig of uncompressed footage here, but I intend to compress it.

Pyrii · Nov 01, 2005, 04:05 PM // 16:05

Sequencing it now, then I'll composite it, do a test encode, and when I'm happy with size and readability, it'll be an overnight full encode.

EDIT: After effects hates me.

Freon41 · Nov 01, 2005, 10:51 PM // 22:51

uh... Frapped a dance party that occurred while waiting for his arrival and was told to post the linkage here. according to std. forum etiquette; i figgered that this is the best place to post the following rather than making a whole new topic. Therefore;

[edit] this was from American District 15 btw; (i'm thinking that it may have been either Nexus or Eagle that told me to post here....) [/edit]

you want a Mad King video, you got one!!

It's not moving film, it's stills, but you will enjoy it.

The Mad King

Finished, took ages to get an Frameserver working with premiere to virtualdub/avisynth, but the result is superb, 30 minutes clear video in 300mb. I just need somewhere to upload it now =P

EDIT: check the first post

Sometimes the NPC found it hard to track every player in the specified area. Some players wouldn't get rewards or it got things wrong with certain people. They obviously didn't have much time to test it with a large crowd. So be glad they still put it up.

Awh.. Looks like I missed something that was actually fun in GW

Pyrii · Nov 03, 2005, 04:42 PM // 16:42

One file up, other file going, will take about 1 1/2 hours to go up.

Pyrii · Nov 04, 2005, 12:30 PM // 12:30

Both files (new version) are up and ready for download, enjoy.
