Hello!

Esenthel seems to be working out great. Lots of things that I thought would require fiddly programming are already taken care of, which is great. I have a couple of new questions though:

1) Is it possible to run two worlds simultaneously, but only draw one of the two worlds?

I want to simulate my player walking through one world, but to show the player a different world.

2) Is there support for capturing output to a movie?

You can capture video with Fraps. I tried with Camstudio but it didnt work. But with Fraps is working but 20 secend video size is 800MB ...

Yep, I was just wondering if there was an inbuilt alternative to fraps.

Only if you can write your own screenrecorder

What about having two worlds and only drawing one of them?

Try Game::World ... se what functions are there. Do you see Game::World.load ??

So you can try load 2 worlds and

Game::World.update(Cam.at);//first world
world2.update(Cam.at);//second world

i dont know is 100% good. But i think it is

1. no

@TrueLegend:

I think Game::World is a variable. However, I tried modifying the multiple worlds example to create two instances of WorldManager (world1 and world2). I then tried replacing all references to Game::World to "world1" and I couldn't even get that to work. The area didn't render (although I can look around) and the game crashes on close.

My best guess is that WorldManager is supposed to be a singleton and bad things happen if you create two instances of it.

I'm guessing that's why Mr Esenthel says that it's not possible to do what I was trying to do.

It depends what resolution/frame rate you capture at.

1440x900 @ 24 fps is about 1.35gb/Minute
1280x720 @ 24 fps is about 1.1gb/Minute

Camstudio works perfectly for me. Fraps, on the other hand gave me very strange colours on playback.

I use MediaCoder with Fraps videos to get them down to a reasonable size without much quality loss (40mb/min).

Video settings:
Format: H.264
Mode: Average Bitrate @ 5000 Kbps

Audio settings:
Format: HE-AAC V2
Rate Mode: Target Quality
Bitrate / Quality: 25

cool app, would try it next time i record a video
