convert your demos for youtube(Wolfcam Guide) (Read 5,670 times)

STEP 1: Setting up Wolfcam
Download the latest version of WolfcamQL, you can find the download links here, the latest version is at the bottom of the page.

www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=2094114

Install it, go to %appdata%\id Software\quakelive\baseq3
(start->run->%appdata%[you should know this...])
copy all the map files and put them into your Wolfcam installation folder, Wolfcam won't work without this!


Start Wolfcam and check if it works(run a demo)

you can see it doesnt look as nice as in the fragmovies, so you need a config

STEP 2.1: Write a config
You can either write your own config, which is really hard to do since Wolfcam has alot more commands you can use than QL, or download a config, I recommend aNtii's config since it is really easy but the quality is awesome.

www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?11633-QUAKELIVE-movie-making-guide-by-aNtii [forum thread]

You can customize this config however you want it to be.
Put the config file into your %appdata% \wolfcamql\wolfcam-ql

Run Wolfcam again and see if it looks better than before, if it doesnt, you did something wrong.

STEP 2.2: Customize the config for your needs

A list of the important commands you should change(with a little note):

seta cg_drawCrosshair "0" //set it to 2 for normal +
seta cg_fov "107" //I prefer 110, but set it to whatever you like[107 is also okay]
seta cl_aviFrameRate "125" //if you want to record a whole match, set it to 30 or 40; if you want to make a slow-mo, set it to >60.


STEP 3: Record a demo in Wolfcam

Basically, this config is all you need.

Important binds:

F3 //disable all HUD elements(for fragmovies)
DOWNARROW //pause the demo
RIGHTARROW //fast forward
UPARROW //slows the demo down
LEFTARROW //back to normal speed

F9 //capture AVI and WAV (video and sound)
F10 //stop capturing

Don't be surprised, the demo goes VEEEEEEEERYYYYYYY slooooooowww while capturing.

STEP 4: Rendering

This is the step that will most likely need the most time.

You need Virtual Dub, download here:

sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdub/files/virtualdub-win/1.9.11.32842/VirtualDub-1.9.11.zip/download

Install and start VDub.
Press File(upper left) and open video file.
Go to your %appdata% \wolfcamql\wolfcam-ql\videos and select the first screenshot in there.
Now press the play-button(bottom right), instead of one screenshot, a video should be played.

Now go to Video(upper left again) and Frame rate, set the source frame rate to what you've recorded with(e.g. if you used cl_aviframerate 30, set it to 30)
click OK.

Press File and then save as AVI, let it render the video. You are done with VDub

STEP 5: Syncing up

Now open Sony Vegas or whatever program you use and sync the video file, which currently has no sound, with the WAV in your %appdata% \wolfcamql\wolfcam-ql\videos

Shouldnt be a problem if you know how to use the editing program.

Render it and you are finally done!
