The Best Frags in Natural Selection EVER...

<div class="IPBDescription">My latest video project, aka Ego Fest '07</div>This is an idea I saw Fana and tjosan talking about a while back on irc and since I have no personal footage left that I haven't already used, so after a disussion with Fana I thought hell I'll take it on. The the idea is to have a time for submitting your's and other's 'best frags', which will then be shortlisted by me, then voted upon by the public and finally I will hopefully produce the best NS frag video EVAR <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" />


Right here's the plan:


Over the next month depending what kind of response I get to this, there might be an extension to the submission period. Anyone can submit a frag sequence for anyone, so if you know any pro frags that were done by players that are no longer playing NS you can post for them so their legend can live on. To submit a frag which you feel will make the top 10/20/25 you will need to put it in a rar/zip with a text file saying what match the demo is from, how many minutes into the round the frag happens (time saver for me) and what version of NS the frag is from. You will then need to either upload it to your own webspace or if you don't have any webspace Fana and csm` are kindly letting me use their ftp <a href="http://www.ninelegends.com" target="_blank">www.ninelegends.com</a> and www.omgw t fns.co.uk [remove the spaces, ###### word filter] (ftp.ninelegends.com:21 user : nl_public pass : kjeften or ftp.servage.net user : ownpublic pass : omgw t fns [remove spaces, word filter ftw]) and upload your file to the frag contest folder. If you're not sure what kind of standard I'm looking for then check out either <a href="http://www.own-age.com/vids/9147" target="_blank">Natural Domination</a> or <a href="http://www.own-age.com/vids/7655" target="_blank">Fananation</a> I'm looking for that kind of standard or better!


Once the submission period is over I (and maybe a couple of others depending on how many submissions there are) will shortlist the frags down to an appropriate number depending on the quality frags (25/40/50) and will create low quality avi's of all the frags, however with the names involved removed to remove obvious bias. Once I have done that I will post them here then there will be a voting period in which everyone will be able to vote for their top 3/5 depending on how long the shortlist is.


And finally once the voting period is over, i'll count up all the votes and hopefully put together a very impressive video. but the end video will only be as good as you decide/help it to be, what I mean is in video terms there's not much I can do you just a first person demo, so if possible when you submit your frags any hltv demos or first person demos from other players involved would be <u>great</u> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Bias will be pretty hard to remove, since most of the frags will already have been shown in some fragmovie or be famous in some other way. Still, remove the names, anything is better than nothing!

    Should be frags from officials only, imo. PCW/Scrim and public frags are a bit meh.

    Don't worry I intend to take my time on this one and not just do the editing in an afternoon/evening like all my others <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    A movie like this shouldn't have much <i>editing</i>, frags at the forefront with as few effects as possible. Possibly a commentary sound backdrop explaining why said frag was selected. Watch some of the gotfrag top 10 CS vids yeah.

    Just something that popped into my mind while reading this: There is a 'dem_forcehltv 1' command, which transforms a regular demo into some kind of hltv demo. This is pretty tricky (euphemism for bugged) in cs, and probably doesn't work better in ns, but perhaps it's worth a try for recams.
  • SpaceJesusSpaceJesus Join Date: 2004-07-02 Member: 29683Banned
    recams are dodgy in NS anyway, lack of a proper freecam tool (3rd party or otherwise) and screwed up freelook controls really make it hard.

    One last thing I forgot, please post here once you've uploaded demos to the ftp's, don't say which one you uploaded, just mention here that you have.

    Me too. I might see how the pro's do it so I can get off of my 1 - 20 score streak.

    Heh he's a start, lower your sens, most new players i see who ahve trouble aiming is ebcause they have they're sensitivity too high thus making it hard to track smoothly. Most good players use a low sens which reduces the margin for error in your aim. Which is why aliens will try to move as much as they can in the air to marine aim to the limit.

    I used to play with a ridiculously high sensitivity and still could track aliens fairly well. Mouse sens is still personal preference.

    That link sucks. They never have good bandwidth on that site. But that is pretty crazy. It doesn't even look real. If they had celerity, focus, or carapace that'd be a totally different story for the marine. Still the ownage is impressive, that is if it isn't spoofed <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    ~edit~

    Any good jetpack + shotgun clips?

    I had a ton of good clips I was saving but deleted the other day.. I had too much crap I would have had to go through to find the clips I wanted.

    There's some other stuff on my putfile site. It's mostly just above average stuff, nothing that great. But I guess if that other link impressed you so much maybe you'll like the clips.

    There's some very good jp kills by Ed|Rush in nL-origins, look it up on www.own-age.com

    Lagga did you see that match between Reflect and I think NL where Reflect only held base and sub sector, and slowly came back to win? It's probably on the ensl website. If you saw the match I'm sure you remember the part where me and Steve kill a bunch of fades at west skylights. That would be good for your video I think.

    im still waiting for your POV demo from that game mak :<
  • LaggasaurusLaggasaurus Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22773Members, NS1 Playtester
    Yeh if it's good a PoV demo would be great since it'll show your aim better thus make the frag looker proer <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
