Help please with Wolfcam

[Birna]

When I try to play a new demo in wolfcam I am getting this error message:

invalid playerstate field count 58:50

I assume this is because of the newer demos are not working with the old wolfcam...

-I have the latest wolfcam (11.0test13)
-I have tried copying the pak00.pk3 over to wolfcam baseq3 folder

-I have tried to run wolfcam/wolf whisper as administrator

None of this works, still the error. Please does someone know what is wrong?

I need help again xD

I am having some trouble to record clips. I want to save them as videos for importing to Vegas then uploading to youtube.

I have done /cl_aviframerate 30
I have done /bind z video avi
I have done /bind x stopvideo

Pressing z in the demo makes it go very fast, and stop when I then press x, but it does not say anything about recording, either on screen or in the console.

So instead I try:

bind z record
bind x stoprecord

It says it is recording to demos/avi.dm_91 when I press z, and then I stop it, "done recording, last snapshot number (######)"

I do not know to where it is recording, but it also does not look like it has actually recorded an avi file. I have read the guide on wolfcamql.fr but either am I do not understand it or something is wrong

tl;dr:
-how do I record video clips
-to where does it save them

[Yakumo]

cl_avidframerate 30 will be trying to render a video that is recorded with 30fps within the file it outputs, it isn't trying to limit to to showing 30 fps while it renders the frames as quickly as possible, it's just trying to produce the video as fast as it can, so you see it running really quickly.
It certaily wont show anything on screen as that would ruin the video you're recording. As will dropping down the console.
Just look for the resultant avi file in the wolfcam folder somewhere.

bind z record - this is just recording a demo file, the same as in QL itself.

By default it will be creaing videos off the same folder it creates any other files, so -
%appdata%\wolfcamql\wolfcam-ql\videos

OK thanks I think I got it now

"FIX FOR THE WHITE SCREEN BUG:

its basicly bloom. you can fix it by disabling post process
r_enablepostprocess 0

however, its mainly caused by the bad handling of 3d icon in the hud itself. i was testing some qcon huds for the render, and turns out that some people like zero4 are using 3d ammo box models. this is mainly because the qlhud editor saves the hud with a 3d ammo icon. so solution without disabling the postprocess: head into the menu hud file, find the ammo section (ctrl+f) and change

ownerdraw CG_PLAYER_AMMO_ICON

to

ownerdraw CG_PLAYER_AMMO_ICON2D" source http://www.esreality.com/post/2447913/wolfcam-10-0/#pid2788938

Is there a fix for the announcer saying the wrong way around when the flags are being returned in CTF?

And the old version of Spider Crossing will not load, q3wpc9.

I guess there is no "scan frags" in regular wolfcam? Watching the whole demo is zz.

File size of the video saved is too big... 4gig for roughly 30 seconds?

The guide on http://www.wolfcamql.fr/en/the-bases is confusing to me, he seems to be suggesting I record videos in... jpeg? What? jpeg and wav? What?

All I want to do is record some clips to put on youtube, like hundreds of other people are doing daily... what settings do I need

[Yakumo]

flag anounced, no idea. It was accidentally reversed at one point, then flipped again to fix it to how it should be, then people complained so they put it back. (I think that's the order anyway).

Wolfcam probably has to catch up to the current change on that. There may be a fix but i don't know, I only use it as a viewer, sorry.

Video size - that would depened on frame rate, resolution, bit rate, encoding, at 4gb for 30sec i'm guessin it's spitting out uncompressed footage, a lot of people want that so they can try various compression options without having to re-render.

read reamdme-wolfcam.txt arround the point where it mentions it's cl_aviCodec with the 3 options for it :

cl_aviCodec  uncompressed, mjpeg, huffyuv

[Birna]

I have read there but I dont really know what to change to make the files smaller.

Do you, or anyone, have some simple things to try? I am sure it is only a few commands maximum and it will cut these file sizes into a quarter.

[Yakumo]

The cvar "cl_aviCodec" has these possible settings: "uncompressed", "mjpeg", "huffyuv"

Just set it to one of the latter two before trying to encode. which one give the smaller file might depend on exactly what you're encodeing, so try a small clip with both and see which you preffer.

Another day, another problem with wolfcam (or my computer?)

So I have installed the latest version: https://github.com/brugal/wolfcamql/releases/tag/v11.0

Immediately upon opening it and loading a map, the whole screen was white. A kind soul alerted me to the r_enablepostprocess command, which fixed the white screen in wolfcam but for some reason has now made the rest of my screen (taskbar, all other windows, desktop etc) freak out and will be all low quality blown out colours.

r_enablepostprocess 1 = white screen in wolfcam, but the rest of my screen normal
r_enablepostprocess 0 = wolfcam is normal but the rest of my screen hideous

I have tried to reinstalling it, restarting computer, checking for video card updates, also using older versions of wolfcam (test13-14 etc, all of which worked ok before) and now they are all doing this. I do not understand at all why a command in wolfcam will have an effect over the rest of my computer?

r_ignorehwgamma
same as ql/q3

Thank you so much, that has fixed it.

Now for the other problem!

Those annoying black boxes are back, where the score, red/blue team etc is. I have tried deleting the wolfcam folder in "romaning" like before but this did not fix it.

btw I have this version working with wolf whisper again :D

change it to q3 hud in wolfwisp...

change it to q3 hub in wolfwisp

This will fix most of it (there are still 2 black boxes on the screen), but I do not want to use the q3 hud, nor should I have to. The ql hud should work and there is probably a fix for this.

Thank you.
