create video of your game (no hardware required)

LuMo · Post by **LuMo** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 10:45 pm

hello
as i guess some of you may show the progress of your code, but do not want to publish betas (or just not cleaned up code)
here is a nice way to show animated stuff
note: i tried commercial software (trials) to capture onscreen, such as camtasia studio, but my PC seems too slow (as i only own a 2,8gHz AMD with 1GB of ram) to process a video and play back the game with luaplayer4windows

check the Guide to capture a video from your LUA-Game on my webpage

You mean like the little house with WWW next to it under what LuMo wrote?

Warning: main(./module/style/style.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/export/www/vhosts/funnetwork/hosting/luke2000/sections/lumo/xvid.php on line 2

All the links on your "A Guide to capture a video from your LUA-Game", page give me the following error:

404: Die angeforderte Datei ist leider nicht verfügbar!

do not know whats going wrong...
works fine for me

http://lumo.at.tt/?action=xvid
http://lumo.at.tt/xvid.php

direct links to my webspace would be
http://lumo2000.lu.funpic.de/xvid.php
http://lumo2000.lu.funpic.de/?action=xvid
those links should work both (same as the link on the page...)

The link to the page http://lumo.at.tt/?action=xvid works fine. Sorry for not being very clear. It's the links on the page that are not working for me. Such as the link that says: download the code in as batch file for windows.

LuMo · Post by **LuMo** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 6:48 am

huh, sorry, i moved the page from server to server and it seems that i forgot to update the links for the xvid thing...
should work now ALL :)
let me know if i still missed one...

All seems to be working great now, Thx for fixing and thx for the great tutorial. Hope to get my first vid posted soon.

Giuliano · Post by **Giuliano** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 12:54 am

Good idea. Perhaps when the PSP2TV thing comes out we will be able to do it w/ sound

LuMo · Post by **LuMo** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 2:56 am

hehe yeah, will put a new guide online then (which will require hardware...)

What does this mean:

Code: Select all

--DECLARE SUB.png--DECLARE SUB&#41;

Example pls, of what I am suppose to do here. Thx

It was one the create_vid.lua that I downloaded from your site

LuMo · Post by **LuMo** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 12:20 am

bugga...

Code: Select all

time=0
while not Controls.read&#40;&#41;&#58;start&#40;&#41; do
    --manipulate the screen here
    --save the images out
    if time<10 then
        screen&#58;save&#40;'./vid/vid_00'..time..'.png'&#41;
    elseif time<100 then
        screen&#58;save&#40;'./vid/vid_0'..time..'.png'&#41;
    else
        screen&#58;save&#40;'./vid/vid_'..time..'.png'&#41;
    end
    time=time+1
end

that should be in the file... will update it
no idea how that trash came in there...
