So I tried recording part 3...only for me to get steamrolled by 2 massive fleets. Didn't even stand a chance cause they had everything and I had nothing lol.
Hey guys I was wondering. What is your method of defeating the asteroids?
Mine is to combine 10 or more ships with a dreadnought and to have my Strikecraft destroy them before they get close, if they do get in range all enemy ships are of secondary priority.
The game is based about expanding but with asteroids it makes the job a lot trickier, which I don't mind.
Anyway, keep up the awesome work you guys, love the mod :D
Maelstrom, my second part is finished uploading to Youtube. Heres the link, if you wish I can find u the video files and send them to you to upload here: Youtube.com
Hi Elite222,
I think I can download them from Youtube ... and yes I'll post them here ... thanks!
Anyone know where to find a good heartbeat sound effect all the ones i looked for suck.
im trying to figure out if there is a limit to the length a video can be if it is not directly uploaded .. if soase-maelstrom url uploaded i could make the videos a bit longer and more exciting (adding a title and some other special tricks :3).
"im trying to figure out if there is a limit to the length a video can be if it is not directly uploaded " ... can't really give advise on specifics. My suggestion would be to look at other mods and how long their videos are. The resolution of the video is an issue that would be equally as important as its length.
well i always render it in hd and it comes out fine for me when i play it on youtube and on moddb. if there are issues for the other people please let me know
There are numerous compress formats (of which mp4 is one of) and also compression settings within the format. I noticed also that modDB re-processes the video also, that is before release
That is if you upload it from your pc im saying if you select url upload you can basically just link it the site and its faster to upload as well as play.
