I'm looking into the idea of making a machinima movie in Western Q3, and was asking for a few things. One of them is permission to do it (wouldn't wanna use a mod without the mod-makers' permission), the other is "anyone interested?"
I currently have a script written, which takes place in br_santacruz with maybe one or two shots in another map (dunno which, I'll have to look to see which one would be fitting for that shot). The only main thing I need from the WQ3 community is simply - people to help out by "Acting out" the scenes. The biggest shot, I think, would only have about 6 people, though it's great to have others around in case people are busy.
The other major thing I would find of great benefit, though, is a server for filming, where cheats and such can be enabled.
If you're unfamiliar with the way machinima is done, I suggest you head on over here and get edumacated.
Primarily, for Quake 3, it's just that it's done like a real movie (in some ways). You setup the shot, have actors who play out the scene, it's filmed, then cut to avi format for editting and final output.Aaanyways. I've blabbered long enough and probably embarrassed myself (d'oh!) terribly, so I'm just gonna go. Great work on the mod, BTW, though you may wanna work on some animations and the speed of movement. That's about all I could find wrong with it. *ahem* Right, gone now. Bye. Please answer my Qs if you can. Thanks in advance for any help given.
I've had Drakhon on my server and he pinged about 150 if I remember correctly. It stands to reason other Europeans should ping similarly. If 4 actors plus you will get the job done, then I am willing to help. My server no longer runs WQ3 full time but I can certainly turn it on anytime that's convenient. You can ping 68.66.18.67 to get a fix on your connection to me. I'll keep checking back here for further info.
