Hello!

I've been working on a new feature that allows you to post a video of a WarLight game to your YouTube account. This was the winning feature of the special FFA event: https://www.warlight.net/Forum/163502-special-ffa-event-winner-picks-feature

While the feature isn't properly launched, you can test it out today by following these steps:

1. Open https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/PastGames
2. Pick a game that's both finished and had at least 1 turn.
3. Click on the game, then edit the URL by changing "MultiPlayer" to "ExportGameToYouTube". For example:

If the link was https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=1000045, then the resulting link would be https://www.warlight.net/ExportGameToYouTube?GameID=1000045

4. Just click Continue and you're good to go!

Let me know here if you run into any problems: https://www.warlight.net/ReportBug

Wow, that was quick! I'm trying one now.

It works pretty well! I wish there was an option to hide army numbers and arrows like on your 10 second WarLight games. This would work especially well on big maps.

Nice work Fizzer!

Looks cool to see colours constantly invading each other even how pointless that may be - it is addicting.

Can someone do it with this game? https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=9703280
IT would be awesome to see such a Video. 200 turns ^^


Very nice feature Fizzer!

Cool feature!
Only one thing: Why is it not possible to set "Turns per second:" to a value smaller than 1?

Looking at NinjaNic's video I realized it looks pretty bad on small maps. I just made a fix to the video creator so that it scales up small maps so they should be clearer now. Here's an example:

Before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrE7KlQgkNo
After: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykbWlGaz9Qk

Awww yes

However the quality may need some fixing.

Now if you excuse me, I'll be doing this for a few hours probably

Thanks, Fizzer! That looks much better.

Thanks!

All of mine are running into errors now. "Sorry, this video cannot be created"

^That might be because I was using it when you wanted to use it.

Is there not a way to make a video that displays each order individually?

@Dogberry: not at the moment, looks like it's just converting each turn into a frame at the moment

PSA: Don't set turns/second above 60. 60 fps is the max on YouTube and weird stuff (like skipped turns) will happen if you go over 60.

You sure it isn't 30 knyte?

Sorry about that. I just fixed the bug you were running into here. Can you try it again now?
