Litos

Ok, I lied, I'm missing the schedule a bit. Announcement tomorrow then :p

I've got something very special coming up for you guys soon... Watch out!

I do everything with Camera.sqs yeah, it's all real time, no camera scripting usually (in my later videos I did a little bit of attachTo stuff but thats about it). Yeah, I like the orchestrated idea. Thanks for adding my videos to your page, I recommend you check out my AH-64D apache video, I like that one a lot too. :) Really great looking site. Keep it up! Question: Why are some of the thumbnails irrelevant? It's like false marketing, you should actually create thumbnails from the films I think. :)

Wow, that looks awesome! Is that an ArmA 2 video site or just your personal one? I know there's already a video site someone did but they don't update it. :(

Before I start, yes, I have searched and have read all related threads. They didn't have what I needed so I decided to post my own threads and didn't want to bump old not-so-related threads. Anyway, what I'm looking for is the C-130 interior used in the Operation Arrowhead Parachute boot camp mission. In truth I don't really care how I get it, all I want is there to be an open ramp, and no bars in the middle (because you get those bars when you place a regular C-130J on the map, and then call the camera and fly it inside the plane). Fortunately I don't need to do any mission business with it, this is simply for some filming. I am actually confused about what I've read in the other threads, does the interior ramp really not open? I could have sworn I did it before... Anyway, any tips would be appreciated. I need to get my hands on that interior somehow, because simply placing a C-130J unit gives me the wrong one, and I can't open the ramp in any way either. Are there custom scripts needed? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I was about to edit my post and write the location for that same reason but then I went to get something to eat and forgot about it. Sorry! :p

Im not sure where that is. In the empty/air section I only see the regular, pilotable C-130J. There's no C-130s in the empty/static section. Where do I find it? Edit: Lol, the closest thing I found is a wreck of the C-130. In the empty/wrecks section. But I still need the normal one :p I looked through the whole empty section, where the heck is it?? (I'm running it as combined ops at the moment). Edit: Yes! I found it!!

Aww. He has like the coolest face in the game. Alright, thanks anyway.

Oh, thanks. I searched before but that was some time ago, before that thread was posted. Cheers. Edit: I tried that one, it's not bad, but I could probably use a larger one, maybe with all walls enclosed... any possibility of that? Can somebody make one?

Does anyone know the face ID of the Harris Press guy face? He's in OA, in Civilian->Special. I couldn't find it in the face viewer.

Hey Bohemia, sorry for making a separate thread for this, I hope it'll be ok, since not many people (and not you probably) will see it in the user video thread. I wanted to thank you in the way that I do best, so I've made a video for you with the song called Ode to Bohemia Interactive, and yes I have permission to use it from it's creator. Enjoy, and I hope it makes you smile! Edit: lots of people seem to like this. If you like my video, you should check out others, this one in particular :p

THANK YOU You won't believe how happy I am someone gave me a straight response and even a link to a face viewer mission. THANK YOU AGAIN!! Sorry I'm just excited I can finally start working on this :D

Hey guys, I have a couple of very important questions. I need to know how I can apply a specific face to a character, such as a soldier for instance. I'm not entirely sure if this is possible (mind you, the soldier is AI). For instance, I like the face of the Haris Press character from the "Special" Civilian section. I'd like to apply his face to an AI soldier, and go on from there. Is that possible, and if so, can someone please explain to me how? In addition, I need to be able to make AI speak when I want them to. I don't care what they say, I just want them to move their lips. Yeah, you guessed it, this is for a video (both of these things), but I don't want to have voice overs for characters who don't even move their mouths, and I know that they can actually do so, and they even do it like, 60% accurately from what I've seen so far in terms of lip synching. Thanks everyone, and please please help me out. This is very important! -Ed

Anyone? Sorry for the bump, but I'm sure someone knows something more about this. It is quite important for me as it's a big project that I want to finish over the summer.

Thanks. One thing though, see I'm not trying to make a cutscene, the way I work is my initiating a live camera and live controlling it. I was hoping, though, that with attachTo, when I initiate it, it'd be attached to whatever object I set it to, and I'll only be able to look around but not manipulate its' position. I could use norrins' script but it wont let me do what I want because it only attached around the central pivot point of an object, rather than any position, so yeah.

is there a way I can find out which face it is that I want to be set? Like, should I write (setFace 1) or, how are they identified, by numbers? You know, all of that... Thanks for the help so far though.

His tuts are for cutscene scripting with external scripts. Isn't there a way to simply use the attachTo command somehow?

Hey guys, can someone explain me how to use attachTo with the camera? I know how to use it with units but I don't understand how I can attach a camera to something. Because from what I know I have to initiate it first, but then what? Make a trigger that says camera attachTo blah blah or something? I have no clue what to call it (the way that player is called player, or a particular unit can be named anything you want, I don't know what camera is, is it camera, or cam, or..?) Yeah I need some help on this. Thanks in advance.

Oh, yeah, I got banned from youtube. It's reuploaded to my new account now. I updated the link in the first post.

No dude, lol, actually, it should make you happier. Both Vegas and Premier are much easier to learn and use. They're designed specifically for what you're trying to do. I think anything you'd typically use AE for (color adjustment, etc) can be done in Vegas, its the more uber advanced stuff that only AE can do, and you'd rarely need any of that done. Trust me, get Vegas (it's what I use), it'll make you happy :p ---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ---------- did you use AttachTo for that inside of cockpit view? Also how do you actually attach the camera using AttachTo? The best I could figure out was how to attach a unit, and kind of use that as a camera... though it was limited.

You do realize that AfterEffects isn't going to help you with anything? AfterEffects is for high quality post processing special effects. If you want to do better video editing, get a program actually made for that stuff, such as Adobe Premier or Sony Vegas. Just sayin'... You're the second person in a day that I've seen assume that AE is going to help one with video editing :p (I mean it does, but only for post production stuff).

Haha, thanks mate. That was probably the most creative comment I've ever gotten :p

Thanks! I need to make myself a new signature, heheh.

I always use 1280x720 wmv, the audio is 192kbps. I have to be honest but if you don't watch in HD I don't think you'll get the same kick out of the video - I actually noticed that in lower quality the whole video seems slower and not as fast paced. I mean it's alright, but watching it on my computer in whole size is such a different effect. I was even thinking of letting people download this one. Anyway thanks everyone, I'm glad you liked it! If everything goes as planned, I'm hoping to bring you something really interesting and different from what I've made before by the end of the summer. Cheers ;)

Hey guys, I have a new fully and properly edited video to present to you. It is called Through Their Eyes, and although it doesn't have too much of a context or story, like most of my other videos it displays a message and in it I attempt to show what war is like through the eyes of the soldiers, or, well, in ArmA 2 at least :p. Anyway I hope you enjoy the action and happy gaming! H_41u9dQuI8
