hey people,\r\n\r\ni saw today WqkO having trouble with his new project "Failicious 2",\r\nas in first "Failicious" movie you could see some players beeing spectated while the one jumps and fails epicly, thats becouse i think WqkO use a HUD Remover(a tool for fragmovies).\r\nnow im gonna show you how you can do that without modifing your cstrike files.\r\n\r\nSTEP 1:\r\n\r\nmirv_movie_seperate_hud 1 (easy as that)\r\nhttp://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9821/tutorial1s.png\r\n\r\nnow capture your clip\r\n\r\noutcome should be smth like this http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1650/tutorial2j.png\r\n\r\nSTEP 2:\r\n\r\nuse VirtualDUB (or any software you are using for picture blending) and "DUB" "hudcolor" and "all" folders\r\n(no, dont know what is for hudalpha pic's, pm me if you know! and what its used for)\r\n\r\nSTEP 3:\r\n\r\nmask it!(i made few keyframes so you could see how you can manipulate it thus making various effects)\r\nhttp://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2973/tutorial3l.png\r\nas you can see i didnt use chroma keyer, i just used an "add" channel for my seperated hud, i think its the right way to do it...chroma keyer can get your stats color the way you dont want it to be i guess\r\n\r\nthats that, here is the outcome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D64jENtY8UU\r\n\r\noh and for this clip i used sampling system, so while mirv simulated fps "hudcolor" folder had alot more pic's than "all", so render your seperated hud with same framerate as you set in sampling\r\n\r\nhope my english didnt cause you trouble understanding about what i was talking here:] \r\ngood luck in your further projects!

hey people,

i saw today WqkO having trouble with his new project "Failicious 2",
as in first "Failicious" movie you could see some players beeing spectated while the one jumps and fails epicly, thats becouse i think WqkO use a HUD Remover(a tool for fragmovies).
now im gonna show you how you can do that without modifing your cstrike files.

STEP 1:

mirv_movie_seperate_hud 1 (easy as that)
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9821/tutorial1s.png

now capture your clip

outcome should be smth like this http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1650/tutorial2j.png

STEP 2:

use VirtualDUB (or any software you are using for picture blending) and "DUB" "hudcolor" and "all" folders
(no, dont know what is for hudalpha pic's, pm me if you know! and what its used for)

STEP 3:

mask it!(i made few keyframes so you could see how you can manipulate it thus making various effects)
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2973/tutorial3l.png
as you can see i didnt use chroma keyer, i just used an "add" channel for my seperated hud, i think its the right way to do it...chroma keyer can get your stats color the way you dont want it to be i guess

thats that, here is the outcome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D64jENtY8UU

oh and for this clip i used sampling system, so while mirv simulated fps "hudcolor" folder had alot more pic's than "all", so render your seperated hud with same framerate as you set in sampling

hope my english didnt cause you trouble understanding about what i was talking here:]
good luck in your further projects!

Thanks dude, I first thought about making 2 startmovies, one normal and the other one with hud_draw 0, but this solution is better (no need to sync perfectly the 2 videos in the timeline, and the video with the huds must be way lighter than a classic startmovie with a good codec).

Thanks ! :D
