CLOWNing 11/05 21:30

May 11th is the date when some of our students will be able to try their skills, demonstrate their honour and prove their worthiness to become a full CLOWN.

Those chosen for this challenge are:

Hefaistos, Lithiana and Minimon

All CLOWNs and Students should meet in Honor Hold at 21.30 (game time). From there we will all walk together to a secret location where the CLOWNing ceremony will be held.

The chosen ones will start at another time and will meet up with the rest of the guild in the secret location after they have completed their missions. Unfortunately we can't predict the exact time that this will be, so bring a lot of pies and beer in case you get hungry or thirsty. Some events, games and competitions will be arranged during this waiting period.

The chosen ones have a difficult task ahead of them and it is not certain that all will survive, so lets pray that they complete their mission and salute our latest CLOWNees - Hefaistos, Lithiana and Minimon!

BRING IN THE CLOWNS!

To be honest I think that would qualify for the CLOWN equivalent of a "magna cum laude" graduation. Very Happy

Maple I appreciate your average hole doesn't come equipped with an abundance of comms gear.... but would you likely to be near anything as handy as mobile?

I am SOOOOOO blocking this date in my agenda. Whatever happen, even if I'm quite AFK for the moment, I will be there on the 11th!!!

Thank you Ringmaster for this!

Congratulations to the three elligibles!

If it weren't for Maple, there'd be no Lith. Simple as that.

Is there any way we can capture the event, so that my mentor and RLfriend can see this some other time? Is anyone that advanced? It would mean the world to me...

/Lith

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:08 AM

Lith I'm going to see what I can do Smile

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:11 AM

I've got a mac version of a Fraps type app.

Not quite sure what the Ringmaster has in mind for this Clowning... last one I was on was a LONG time ago and certainly involved a lot of people Cliffdiving. The whole event took a fairly long while and that will chew HDD space... but I can see what I can do.

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:14 AM

working on it

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:20 AM

Teamspeak has recording functionality built-in. I will set up the Teamspeak server to record the clownees' audio during the event.

Video-wise, I can run Taksi during the event - I have plenty of hard drive space. Of course, video would be best recorded from Lith's point of view but she runs on MacOS so can't run Taksi.

Also I'm not yet sure what part of the CLOWNing I'll be running so I may be with the CLOWNees but may not be. Someone else might have to record the video, and I'd rather have someone familiar with the software so there are no "oops it didn't record" moments Smile

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:25 AM

Shall I game from another computer then?? I can go to my parents? The image is terrible, but it'll be worth it.

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:25 AM

Yeah I was thinking that or fraps.... I can run one or the other from time to time and coordinate with you so that we have good coverage?

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:34 AM

I run Mac OS X too... and as stated we have a software option.

It works pretty well - but takes a fair chunk of your frame rate with it. Can be set to record your Mic or System audio (so would include Teamspeak).

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:35 AM

Fraps you have to pay for so we can go for Taksi which is free.

Light and I have discussed it and I think we're gonna go for me recording the events at Honor Hold with the guild and Light recording the events with the CLOWNees. We will have a Teamspeak CLOWNing channel that will be recorded from the start and I will dub the audio onto the resulting video.

Light and I will need to practice first though Smile

I don't think Lith's macbook is up to the job Smile

It already struggles to play WoW judging by my experiences while over there Smile

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 08:43 AM

Ah, if you are playing on a Macbook it's using shared ram for the gpu. Though there have been a few upgrades in the OS and WoW that may have improved framerates recently.

I'll play around with my application anyway - simply because I've not used it recently anyway Very Happy

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 09:41 AM

I was told to install 2GB kingston ram on it instead of what I got now... what'll that do Lutze?

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 09:44 AM

You can *upgrade* macs nowadays? I thought a mac upgrade involved throwing away the old one Smile

Hefaistos.. A small advice... Dont drink to much.. You might run into hordes and then you will as we all know turn on autorun... look at the stars while doing so and chat to ppl about the fact you actually know what sunders is...

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 10:52 AM

2gb ram would probably help quite a lot - though your main issue is that the Macbooks (non pro) use shared memory for the graphics, instead of using a dedicated graphics card.

I'll go through a load of settings changes that work well with Mac's as they are not the same ones as PC based.... even though they look the same.

I won't be able to do this without my game machine alas, so will do it when you are next online at the same time as me.

Well, we can allways take much pictures and use Frappy Fraps, I only got the demo of it.. So I can only fraps 30sec Nasty

But if anyone got the whole fraps, link it to me and I can use it if you want Razz

Post subject: CLOWNing 11/05 21:30 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 12:33 PM

I think we're all sorted on the frapsesque stuff.
Ade and I are going to try a few things and lil-o's got something she's going to try.
If it all goes tits up we'll move to plan B.... or indeed plan C

btw Maple plan C involves you digging a slightly bigger hole Very Happy
