Keygrip 2

[Yuna]

Hello,
 I am trying to edit demos with Keygrip2, but I just can't figure out how to make the player visible.
If I move the camera, the gun and crosshair move too. The only way I can tell I'm not moving the player
is because the shots appear to come out of the air. If someone could show me a tutorial (better than
their help file, it really didn't help with getting started although if I could get started I think I would be okay) I
would be grateful. Or if someone could tell me how to do that, and hide the crosshair and gun... can you just do
crosshair 0 and hand 2 for that? And how to hide teh HUD? Some help would be appreciated.

Not sure if you got the help you needed, and fixed your problems. If not:

http://www.kontula.net/muut/q2.movie.faq/keygrip2.html

That's some helpfull links on how to use keygrip2 (the link geikram posted included).

I'm not sure what you mean by the players not being visible. If you want to recam the demo (have cameras outside the player showing the player from outside), you need to set the "Player number" to -1 inside the Show Demo Infromation before recamming it. Then when running the Demo server, be sure to select free look and not fixed fov or position so you can move the camera around. Well, at least thats the simple and easy explaination. Then when saving a few camera-positions and so on, chose "Merge Camera into Demo" inside the "show demo server".

On how to remove crosshair and hand, just highlight the first block of the demo, then go to the "instert" menu-option, then choose: "insert default", then check the boxes you want to have (hand 2, crosshair 0), or do it manually by inserting "message" (i think) then chose "stufftext" with hand 2 and crosshair 0 in the first block.

To remove the hud, it's easy. Click on to the "show demo information" icon, then in the configstrings (i think it is called), ther 5th or 6th line says Statusbar. Just highlight that, and hit the "-" on the side. That way the hud is no more shown.

Yeah, pretty much. Let me know if you have some problems, the guide may be more helpfull than I am though.

(Wow I haven't been here in ages...) Thanks Daelmun and Geikram! I'm trying all that stuff and info on the pages you gave the links of, right now!

EDIT: [several hours later] Thank you so much! Heh-heh, I made a little Matrix-style bit!

<< Save Target As >>
<< Save Target As >>

Just extract it to the Quake2 folder, it will put a pak file in baseq2 and these 2 files in the Quake2 folder:

985 Whole Thing Re-Cammed.bat
985 First Part, Matrix-Style!.bat

If you double-click them they will play that particular demo.
