Gif Kills [56k = Pancaked]

What's with the blurry?

Well, first I figured it would be too long and too big for a GIF so I was going to keep it as an AVI. I output the AVI with the second portion blurry and faster with a glow from Sony Vegas, and I imported that in ImageReady just to see if it would be a usable GIF size. It was close enough (less than SharkTank's, in any case), so I GIFed it as it was.

The AVI looks a crapload better.

What's with the blurry?

It's just to make it look more 'cool'.

Daaayyyyyyyyyyyyyymit I had to cut out so many frames to get it under 1mb that you can't even see what's going on until I get the hs. GG.

You need a better mouse pad.

 

[T2A`]

You need a better brain.

lmao at oh snap!

Shark, what settings do you use in imageready? I just can't get my gif to look halfway decent. It's all choppy and ugly.

I use Adobe Imageready, open up the avi, resize it to 320x260, set the compression to 16 colours and save.

Everything else is left as the default.

In case the defaults vary, they are:

• GIF
  Lossy: 0
• Selective
  Colors: 16
• Diffusion
  Dither: 100%

I'm also fixing my FPS in UT2004 at 30 frames per sec, using RypelCam (it seems to do it automatically) but if you don't have that, you can use the "fixedfps 30" command.
That's the only thing I can think of that's making a difference between this supposed choppiness. I really can't see much of a difference between your gif's and mine tho *shrug*

Edit: and damn, sup with Kantham?

 

[Kantham]

16 color is what you use? I noticed that 128 don't make much difference from the original RGBa8 picture.

btw, what is "dithered" ?

 

[T2A`]

Dithering prevents color banding, probably by upping the color count unofficially. Just set it to 0 or set the pulldown menu to no dithering and see the difference.

I edited my post and now my sig is f**ked! GG vBulletin!

Tiny bump! Something kinda different; was the only recent thing I could remember that wouldn't require demo scouring.

That's a 'nade, if you can't tell. Must of knocked him sideways just enough so the shock ball couldn't make it around the corner, even though it looks like it knocked him the other direction...

All these 1v1 things have made me realize how long it's been since I went into a TDM/TAM pub. I've only played 1v1, TDM scrim/match, and FragBU for the past few weeks. I guess tomorrow I will head to a pub in search of a more interesting GIF frag.

Looks good, nice quality on that one T2a. Cool moment too!

 

[Nereid]

Dithering adds random noise to the image to make it look smoother.

Hard to get cool frags when you can't ever get a weapon.

My thoughts EXACTLY on WS off.

 

[T2A`]

I don't mind no weaponstay; I like the concept of not having every weapon available to you in a fight quite a bit. It's only really a problem when the team you're playing is actually pretty good or better, rather than some medium-tier team, because they will actively make sure you can't get certain weapons. Of course, poor map design like Grendelkeep only heightens the issue as controlling two weapons is enough. God, Grendel is so horrible.

Come on, people! More frags! I haven't enough style to pull this thread along on my own!

EDIT: Here's what that looked like from Raffi's perspective. Boom!

 

[The Warden]

I don'ty Have ANY

 

[ShakeZula]

I'd play but I don't know how.

Edit: I had to reupload all the images, so for people wondering where they went they should be back now.

Edit: And one from Cruz

What is with all these TAM kills? They don't count.
