Трейлер для мода Combat

Доброго времени суток! Разработчики Natural Selection 2 объявляют о скором выпуске трейлера на один из самых популярных модов на игру под названием Combat.

Combat - мод, внедряющий рпг элемент в игру. Действием мода происходит на маленьких картах, с установленным лимитом времени и дополнительным условием в качестве уничтожение вражеского Hive или Command Station. Игроки получают опыт за убийства, повреждение строений, поддержку напарников и иные действия, и могут тратить его на оружие, улучшения, эволюции, способности, снаряжение и прочее.

Кроме того, любой может поучаствовать в создании этого ролика. Для этого требуется записать свою игру с данным модом и выполнить ряд инструкций

Instructions

1: Record your play

All plays must be recorded at 1280w720h30+p. That is shorthand for saying your resolution must be set to 1280 x 720, and your frame-rate must be 30 progressive frames a second or higher. Use whatever recording method you like, but pay attention to the ‘Encode your play’ section below!

Each play must be 4 seconds or less in length. Anything longer than 4 seconds will not be accepted!

2: YouTube your play

Put your play up on YouTube, and post it in the comments thread of this newspost. Everyone in the thread should pick out their favourites! Put more than one play in a youtube video, but be sure to separate each one with a second or so of black screen.

3. Encode your play

Here’s the tricky part. If your play is awesome, the Combat team will tell you your shot has been selected in the forum thread. To get it into the trailer, you need to put in a format that Hugh can use in his magical video editing castle. That means creating a file with the following attributes:

Container: Mpeg-4 (abbreviated .mp4)

Video Codec: h.264

Profile: High

Level: 3.2

Bitrate encoding: Constant bit rate

Bitrate: 25,000kbps*

Scan: Progressive

Frames per second: 30+**

Video dimensions: 1280w720h (1280 x 720)

Pixel aspect ratio: 1.00

Audio Codec: AAC

Audio bitrate: 192kbps

*This bitrate is very important. If you are using a recording program that does its own compression, make sure you are recording a bitrate well, well in excess of 25,000kbps. If you try recording at 20,000kbps and then sending a 25,000kbps file, it’s not going to work!

**Your frame-rate must be or exceed 30 and it must be constant. If your rig gets 30-60fps during a 4 second recording, you need to record at 30. If you provide a clip with an oscillating frame-rate where your PC couldn’t keep up with your recording FPS, it won’t be able to be used in the trailer.

Oh my goodness why is that list so specific! Why can’t I just send a divX video I encoded with this awesome program I found in the basement of the internet? Answer – Because this Combat trailer is going to be epic. And that epic-ness requires quality. The ultimate enemy of video quality is encoding steps: The more there are, the crappier the video looks. That means that the clip that gets dropped in the timeline must be top notch, or it will stand out like a sore thumb. It is also impossible to accurately add effects like motion blur to poor quality, inconsistently encoded clips.

Of course, many video encoding programs don’t expose all these granular settings. Whatever you are using, try to get as close as possible. If you get very close, it’s likely the clip will be usable.

4. Upload your play

If your play is selected by the Combat team and you encode it, upload it to Dropbox, Skydrive, GDrive, or other place where the team can download it from. If you have followed the encoding instructions, each clip will be about ten megabytes in size.

5. Win

Everyone whose clips get included in the Combat trailer will be featured in the credits post, and will win eternal gratitude from UWE and the Combat team. Some of you out there are incredible shooters, biters, and blinkers. Show us what you’ve got, and help Combat shine!
