Title: Film viewer and spectator mode.
Post by: Demosthanese on September 01, 2002, 03:24:54 PM

Just a few suggestions:
Add a spectator mode.
Add some of the controls of the external Film Viwer to the ingame film viewer:
-Ignore recorded views
-Save to .AVI

The ingame renderer is much faster than the Film Viwer renderer. Just makes sence to add those two controls.

Edit: Also, could we have the ability to PW protect servers?

Should I take the lack of coments as a good sign?

The only change I'd like to have is the "ignore recorded views" be a toggelable option in the game film viewer.  Films used to be easy to watch before the seperate film viewer was added, now trying to counter the recorded views is a squeak with the view keys.

Lars
there is already a 'ignore recorded views' toggle switch in the film viewer.

Just click in the box  :)

Yep, that's what I was refering to also.

The film viewer is cool and the info it shows is helpfull but the inability of it to show a full screen view makes the ingame film viewer more desirable to me for casual viewing.

Let's not forget the fact that on many computers, the external film-viewer runs like a slideshow.

I can't pause a film mid way through and resume it... despite what the various buttons suggest. This makes taking shots of the action very time consuming and frustrating.

In fact this is a typical recipe for the thing to crash.

Try this if you want to crash your computer... ;)

Using the ingame film viewer load up a film and watch it for about 30 seconds or so. Then rewind it to the start using the "R" keyboard command....hard lockup everytime for me.

Most of my rare tries to view a film in the external or in the game film viewer end with a screen freeze or a crash to desktop.
This is the worst piece of AH software for sure!  :D

I would like to get a stable film viewer with all features working

PLUS

I would like to see an external view handled by the mouse. (go all around the plane with mouse movements)
