Oh, TJ, why hast thou deserted us?

Deadbeat_Spinn · Post by **Deadbeat_Spinn** » Mon, 30. Aug 10, 02:16

Pretty sure he hasn't....yet. But I'll have a word with him when I see him next.

I'm guessing he had no idea how much we'd all try to hug him when he started this and ran away

Seriously tho, it's a lot of work so I'm being patient.

Maybe it just isn't fun for him - have you thought of that? I wouldn't want to be obliged to do all the encoding/recording/time-wasting for such an undertaking.

If any of the fleet submitters or viewers of XFF who have both the Director/Fleet Spawner and the Deathmatch Arena maps installed wish to to view the fights of,

xXxSam vs. travisdh1
Master of the Blade vs. ashkrowe
Aro vs. Triaxx2
Deadbeat_Spinn vs. Tenlar Scarflame,

feel free to PM me for the download link for the four xml's. The first Special Bonus match is also complete but will not be part of the pack at this time.

On a related note, with Tenlar Scarflame absent, I'm working on a second set of Deathmatch Arena maps which are currently under construction. Four are a work in progress at the moment with another six planned for Set 2. A possible third set may be made but that's future work.

Why is Tenlar absent?

And anyway, I made some maps too.

My outcry was mostly meant to bump this thread back to page 1

I know darn well, how much trouble setting up a battle is - did it myself and wasn't really amused. Nevertheless it would be nice to see if he's still alive

Bumping threads just for the sake of getting them to the top again is highly frowned upon around these parts and is considered spamming. So don't let this become a habit. If you aren't adding useful content, then don't post.

In any case, if this event is stalled/ceased, then there is 0 reason for the thread to remain active - not seeing why it should be on the first page anyway.

Cpt.Jericho · Post by **Cpt.Jericho** » Wed, 8. Sep 10, 12:59

You two are probably right.

Sorry for bumping.

I see TJs last post was late August, and now his new Academic year has started- I am sure this won't go stale for a delay for many of us, and if any do wish to drop out, I am sure there'll be a dozen new faces clambering for places.

Look on the bright side, you all get to live a little longer until Evil Ted's Stomping Crew makes you deaded.

"Evil Ted's Stomping Crew" has to get past the MSC Combat Wing first

Well, no offense to TJ, but the biggest advantage to his rig is that we could get videos from it. I suppose we could continue without him, though I wish we didn't have to. All we lose are videos of it.

I can host the matches, as long as we aren't trying to video it. (I could make the videos, but I have dial-up, so I've got no way to upload them.)

How big are the videos?

Triaxx2 · Post by **Triaxx2** » Wed, 8. Sep 10, 19:20

Not sure... Hmm...

Deadbeat_Spinn · Post by **Deadbeat_Spinn** » Wed, 8. Sep 10, 19:29

IIRC it was around a couple gigs per match (how long a match lasts is also a factor). If the intro that TJ was working on is added then there's another gig or so.

cyberfuzzie · Post by **cyberfuzzie** » Wed, 8. Sep 10, 19:48

If the right codec is used, the videos can be quite small:
x.264 can compress a full HD video of 10 minutes length to 40 MB (the quality is high enough to watch on a 46 inch TV), but youtube converts the video again, which lowers the quality...

Technojerk36 · Post by **Technojerk36** » Wed, 8. Sep 10, 21:41

No, I have not abandoned XFF. I have been debating whether to just stay silent until I have links to videos or post to say that I'm still here. I decided to post. Just think of XFF as XTC. There'll be new released eventually

Videos are around 6-8 GB before encoding and around 300+MB after.
