Phew finally got it all sorted

I've decided to remove the old DivX version due to decoding problems and replaced it with the Xvid version. Original post has been updated now so anyone downloading from now on should be ok (he says hehe)

If you downloaded the old (DivX) version and got it working, there's no need to grab this version - it's slightly better quality but using a different codec now.

Thanks for the feedback/bug reports and patience, hopefully it should be working for the majority

Well Anet made the actual game intro lol I just recorded it and packaged it up as a movie into a screensaver (along with installer), took a lot of time waiting for encodes/uploads but overall it's been downloaded a few hundred times already (including old divx version) so seems to be quite popular

is there anyway for me to somehow change the resolution to 1280x1024 natively so it doesn't look stretched?

Xenrath · Jan 23, 2006, 11:48 AM // 11:48

The resize is done by the screensaver program (you can change that from the settings) so you can't natively change the resolution of the video itself as such. I recorded it at 800x600 to start with - a 1280x1024 recording would probably be a very big download

Well you could always just start the client up and hit ctrl+shift+h...

How long will it be before there is a new Guild Wars rap with the new asian music? :P

iliketoeat · Jan 24, 2006, 01:46 AM // 01:46

what program did u record the stuff with? FRAPS?

Porkchop Sandwhiches · Jan 24, 2006, 06:32 AM // 06:32

Ahh, this is awesome, ty! I had to change it so it didn't resize it, then it looked great!

Eclair · Jan 24, 2006, 07:51 AM // 07:51

You think you can do a 1600x1050 version? XD

Xenrath · Jan 24, 2006, 02:38 PM // 14:38

Yep, original video was captured using Fraps.

My monitor won't go above 1280x1024 (TFT flatscreen) besides which Fraps won't record full screen at high resolutions

"The maximum resolution for Half-size capture is 2048x1536. Full-size video capture is limited to a maximum of 1152x864 (4:3) or 1280x720 (widescreen)"

It would probably be a huge file at full size i.e. full screen

I maybe got an idea to make it more simple. You can start GW with the switsh "-noui", this will have the same effect as ctrl+shift+h. If someone can make a screen saver start start GW with this switch and kill GW when the mouse moves, then it would work a lot easier.

Can't download it

Xenrath · Jan 30, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

Filefront probably doesn't like download accellerators so if you've one of those, turn it off

Try a different "free distro" server also; I just tried server #3 and it downloaded fine, just have to wait a little for the download to start.

If anyone wants to host mirrors, please feel free

Not using DL accelerators:S.

Thing is the link refuses to take me to filefront...

I use Mozilla btw and not any Wind0ze explorer like IE.

Edit: Hmm, strange seems like filefront was down last time i clicked it, oh well works now

Xenrath,

Beautiful Job! Thanks for all the hard work - Kudos

Awesome possum, I love that intro, and I have a friend that loves it more, he always starts guild wars and turns and looks at me and says, "Tom, just LOOK at that shit".
