  • Show us your frag Nexuizians!

    Post here a video of the best frag you made this month [June] or at least one you really like yourself. The competition is open until one week after the month has ended so the deadline for June is: July 6th 2008 [local time]. Then a poll will be made by yours truly so that we can all vote for Frag Of The Month. The winner will get : nothing ! Except the honour of course and an automatic entry in the Frag Of The Year competition that will determine the best Nexuiz frag of 2008 :]

    Rules:
    • one entry per player
    • the frag has to be made by you personally;
    • the frag has to have been made in the month that you are entering it in the competition


    What we would like is every person entering in the competition makes a post that states the map the frag was made on and if you can a small description of the frag itself. This will help people when we start voting. And of course a video of the frag. Because it is only about one frag it can be very short with high quality, it really has to be about the frag ! It doesn't matter if there is a little runup to it, just make sure people will know what the frag is that you are entering :)

  • For the start: midair grenade blowing rocket up on Skyway

    Unfortunately the demo is a bit jerky, I hope I can sort this out for future demos :?

  • Well it seems that dIM's new rig is working just at its finest, fantastic quality my freind! :D

    Peaple, please mind that your YouTube vids are barely usable for showing your frags. I noticed in the may thread already and I experience that both Oat's and CBrutail's cut. Either work on your compression settings or add a download link for the original vid. I'd really appreciate :wink:

  • Jesus christ for the god knows how many time, dont make it so super duper high-quality lolz videos that other members can't watch on there pc's just cause that they arent worth 3000 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it's not hard to make a video in HQ, and in a quality where other people who can't play HQ video's can watch and not wanting to put it on youtube.

    so please make 2 versions, one high-quality and one where other people can watch it.

  • I don't want to upload my vids to Youtube and prefer to offer an avi file from my webspace.

    I think even you can play my videos? If yes, I'd suggest everybody to have a look at this fine howto on the Ninja's forum: http://www.nexuizninjaz.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=31

    The settings [-z-] recommended there should be fine with everyone to play and provide fair quality. Here's a screenie:

  • yeah, Vimeo is really offering a good quality. We would need feedback from low-end PC users first tho, whether the playback is smooth. But for this, one would still have to upload a frag there :P
