movie cam???

[shootie]

i know this may sound n00by to some of you but im not a n00b i know most things bout rome total way and i want to make videos of this great game i heard about this built in movie cam and i heard you put it in the properties of your game's shortcut. But i dont know hat your supposed to do when its in there is no difference so if sombody can tell me how to work it it would be helpful :hmmm:, thanks in advance

I think it's too annoying to use the in-game movie camera. I would use software like FRAPS or Gamecam.

You'd use the movie camera to set up shots for FRAPS. Without it, all you get are those shots from regular gameplay.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

To get the movie cam, this is what you do:
1. Right click on the shortcut to your RTW
2. Left click on Properties
3. Look at the part that is called "Target", should have a box saying "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War\RomeTW.exe" or something similar to that.
4. Go to the very end of the text in the Target box, and type in " -moviecam" without the speech marks, so it now looks like this: "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War\RomeTW.exe" -moviecam
5. Click apply or ok to finish, and then you'll have the moviecam, though it only works in battle replays and stuff, so you can't use it in campaign

Hope that helps

thanks for the quick response people

i got gamecam but its too annoying to function etc. Fraps you need to pay to video so thats out of the question.

how do you get it to start recording in battle etc. its the same only the camera is different ((soz double post i know))

[Prince_of_Macedon]

Fraps you need to pay to video so thats out of the question.

It only costs money if you pay for the full version. I used the free version for all of my LIVE videos.

As I said, I get along just fine without it. And all Shootie wants to do is make videos.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

How to start using moviecam to record in battles? It can't record, it only gives your camera a lot more movement space and freedom, so like Korlon said, it sets up your camera, so you can take the screenshot using another software like Fraps.

[shootie]

oooo lol thanks *slaps himself across the head

[Blue_Hoplite85]

i have trouble with flaps, it make my battles laggy when i record

[Saint_jimmyz]

In future, ask this question in a new topic rather than gravedigging.

Having FRAPS running has made my inbuilt movie cam laggy, but I just use FRAPS for that and have had no problems. But then I have a quite good computer. I would suggest reducing the unit detail etc, but others may have had more experience in this matter and are able to give you better advice.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Hmm, a lot of people seem to have lag problems with FRAPS, and I never do.... and my computer isn't all that good either

When will this particular piece of misinformation end? You can render your clips with the ingame editor, you just need to using it on v1.2. It will be utterly lag-free, and you can max the settings up and everything. As explained in-depth with this tutorial:
