Ham and Jam is a teamplay orientated, first person WW2 multiplayer game centred around the British and Commonwealth campaigns from 1939-45. Historically accurate missions coupled with careful balance between realistic and enjoyable gameplay makes Ham and Jam a unique experience. Ham and Jam started out as an idea between it's two main developers as an alternative to the tired old "U.S./Russia vs. Germany, post June 6th 1944" formulae WW2 games seem to use. Fed-up with everything prior to D-Day being ignored, the North West Europe theatre and the lack of British, Commonwealth and Free Forces they decided to do something about it. The goal was clear, to make a WW2 mod that featured all the missing bits of WW2 history, portray it in a historically accurate way but without detracting from the fun or playability by overdoing realism. In short the kind of game they and their friends would like to play. The name comes from the original code words for the capture of the Pegasus/Orne bridges
Just a very quick rough video test, mainly to see how well FRAPS worked. As it turns out not too well! The German player is currently "on loan" from DoDS whilst our own is being finished off. The Third Person muzzle flashes also did not show up.
Very little time was spent on editing so don't expect Hollywood levels of post production. It's simply just a little teaser to show some ingame action rather than still images.
Yeah FRAPS doesn't work so well with Source games. Probably best to use Source Recorder (if you don't know, it's a series of console commands that records gameplay to a demo file, then renders it frame-by-frame). Certainly more complex and time-consuming than FRAPS, but it gives a consistent framerate and, for source games, it's really the only choice.
Anyway, the gameplay looks excellent! I can't wait for release :)
Yeah I originally tried the Source Recorder but couldnt get it to output a .wav file. Outputting as individual frames just produced an empty wav and outputting an .avi resulted in static noise so had to use FRAPS instead.

then try to mess around with that, this way it doesn't record it frame by frame, it records every action in the game enabling you to be the cameraman when the game already has been played.
There are tutorials on youtube if you wanna try, it's definately a lot easier and it wont be slowed down by fraps.
Looks great! I hope you add a zombie mode :). WW2 zombies are fun to play.
People die fast lol. Also I hope the audio will be better when not re-recorded.
"People die fast"
Tends to happen when you have a MG34 shooting 800-900rpm at you with little cover ;D
A tip for when you play, smoke grenades are incredibly useful on this map.
looks like a bridge too far :D
kinda reminds me of Hidden & Dangerous 2 :)
Great buddies, great!
