Thread: Rome Cinametics.

  1. #1

    Default Rome Cinametics.

    Is their anyway to capture certain parts of a battle in R: TW and make it playable in let's say WMP?

    It'd be just too great to make a movie about a nasty Carthage Roman battle..

    Thanks.

    You need to get a program like FRAPS but you must pay for a full version of that, but there is some cool free ones roaming about just google for them.

    I meant through the game itself.

    FRAPS "films" whats happening in your game, isn't that what you wanted?
    Just google for a freeware program that does the same (There are plenty)

    EDIT: You need a third-party program to do that, you can't do it with JUST the game

    I suppose he´s looking for a replay function as in MTW. Sorry, no, there´s none in the campaign anymore. Only in the "staged" custom battles. Why they took it out from where the most interesting battles happen is beyond me

    Well custom battles and I think multiplayer games can have replays of the battle saved. There is a built-in movie editing mode that enables you to edit the replay, and then convert it into pictures and sounds that can then be used in another piece of software to convert it into a movie that can be played in Windows Media Player. It's a fairly complicated affair though. This is a guide about it from the official Totalwar site: http://download.activision.com/totalwar/editor_docs.zip

    It's easier to use something like Fraps and Windows Movie Maker if you want a simple movie though.

    I'm interested in making one same as like the intro. That surely has been done through the engine after all, right? And I don't think it was done through fraps.

    Yes it was done in the game, but CA isnt nice enough to let the community have it thus we must look to alternatives such as FRAPS.

    Eh? I've already said - there is a built in movie editor that lets you make movies like in the intro. Download the docs in the link I gave. It tells you how to edit replays and then you can convert them into movies with another program.

    Thanks for your help. Have you tried it yourself?
