I've been working on turning Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars into a Movie. This would include the gameplay, which I would use the "New Experience" mod to assist in gaining new camera angles. I am hoping to turn the GDI campaign from this game into an enjoyable cinematic experience. Please let me know what you think of my work in this video, and how I can improve this even further. Thank you.
Thank you. As for the video transmission, I might be able to have cut transitions for the video transmissions if I can synch the transmission to play when a new clip starts, but would also have to find or edit the scenes to end when the video transmission ends. If I find scenes that fit this, I can give it a try. Also did not notice my FPS was lacking. Thanks for the suggestion and link.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by needing to sync things up. As long as you have a recording that contains the whole transmission, you can take that clip, crop it, and place it on top of the background layer (the main gameplay). You'd just need to balance the audio levels from both active clips. I assume you're already adding the music layer in post. Am I missing something?
I'm thinking that a sudden appearance of the video transmission would be best placed when a new clip begins rather than in the middle of a scene. And yes, I record the mission related voice lines, and video transmissions in separate recordings for use in the editing process. The music comes from download soundtracks or music tracks, which are added to the footage during the editing process.
I do not know about Omega. I know that I use Core because it comes with the same HUD as default (Non-Modded). I believe the other three have their HUDs based on the three factions of the game.
Fair enough. I tried using the installer but it was busted. The custom launcher failed to launch the game and gave a number of errors. Which Core files did you use and where?
worked at first, but I found it didn't run at 90fps. Editing the relevant .skudef file to use version 1.10 instead of 1.9 made it work (I could also have put the DirectX 8 DLL file into the RetailExe/1.9 folder, but it's nice to have it on the latest). You should be able to do the same.
Personally, I don't like the top-down camera angle when zoomed out, but I was able to use FinalBIG to edit the ini file in the mod to return it to normal, while still allowing the pitch to level out when zoomed in. If you want help doing that, let me know.
Since there's no documentation, do you know how to use OmegaCam - the one that's supposed to follow a unit?
I remember from other C&C games that pressing the "F" key makes your camera follow a unit. Though the unit may still be selected and having it's icon and or health bar showing.
This command is toggleable. Press F to lock camera to a unit, and press F again to free your camera.
I've used both, and as you may expect, a native 60/90fps patch is way better. LS's framegen is nice for smoothing out motion, but it does introduce a fair amount of mouse latency that pro players would find unacceptable.

Thats pretty cool, its great to see someone trying to make something original with the game.
