Bfg Practice Session

Firewater

<div class="IPBDescription">http://www.battleforthegalaxy.com</div> This is a rar file that contains 2 demos, and a teamspeak MP3, of the communication that goes on between me, and my players. This is to show people what goes on during a BFG practice, and maybe spark an interest to get more players to join. This is similar to the training model I will be using for #nslearn as well.

When you play the audio and the demo at the same time, it might seem a little out of sync, for the next session I will try to use something in the game to be able to synch the audio with the demo. Its not perfect, I apologize for that.

This file is over 100 MB, sorry 56K uses.

Zunni was kind enough to host it at two places for me

We need this weapon in NS.

EEK

DYNAMITE!!!!

Firewater

I would appreciate if this thread would stay on topic.

Zunni

File is down.. repeat.. File is down..

I can mirror this if you want FW, pm me.

Firewater

Couldn't hurt to have another mirror, but I just checked my current link, it was still going.

Forlorn

I got an error

Firewater

What kind of error ?

Zunni

I was getting a file not found error.. Perhaps the link was busy.

I'll update this post with another link as soon as I'm done grabbing it.

UKchaos

Its working, just a little slow.

Firewater

I apologize, I should have look for more mirrors

Zunni

sometimes you can't accurately predict bandwidth needs..

I've been stuck at 22 % now for a while... (24.7 megs)

I wonder if resume works??

Firewater

NEW mirrors up brought to you by Zunni.

Check the original post.

Yus, Firewater taught me how to fade well, beware all those marines (especially the ones during that game that I worldspawned trying to blink into a vent...)

Firewater

no one watch my demos? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Forlorn

It doesn't work man... it just stops DL'in

Necrosis

I listened to the MP3 side of things, very nice stuffs. Good advice, disciplined teaching method, definitely something I'd heartily recommend to others.

Firewater

Its nice to know that its appreciated.

Forlorn try one of the two mirrors, they should work just fine.

ekent

Try encoding the mp3 with 48kbps or lower. Voice doesn't need much to understand clearly. I listen to talk radio on the internet at 24kbps and it is understandable, if fuzzy. You should cut down on the size dramatically.

Firewater

maybe for next time, but I'm not reuploading it.

Kevlar_Gorilla

I got everything working...

Absolutely freaking awesome.

This is the kind of community I enjoy playing in. Keep it up.

Firewater

Thanks, its always nice to be recognized and appreciated.

Forlorn

Ah finally DL'ed it. GJ firewater it's nice how you are enthusatic throughout the entire thing.

Can't say I listened to it all, but a good chunk and other bits and pieces.

Makes me want to rejoin the BFG again...

SmoodCroozn

Do most clans use scripts? I'm a casual player and honestly I'm against scripts.

rennex

There are players on the best NS team in the USA that don't use scripts so you don't need them to be good.

Firewater

Thank you Forlorn. Its always nice to hear positive reviews from other competitive players.

Jmmsbnd007

2 things.
1. You forgot to mention when you started recording the 2nd demo so the listener can sync the audio with the demo better.
2. It would probably have been nice to introduce +duck fading, too.
Other than that it looked pretty good.

surprise

well, i think it would be neat to have some advice too, but well, im in europe, so timedifference could be a problem...

besides the ping perhaps

english should be okay
