All right, here's the gig. The City of Heroes client has a demo record feature, which let you record your missions. These demos are stored as text files, containing the locations of all of the things in your recording, including their coordinates, movements, animations, damage, etc. Naturally, these text files can be edited.
This means that it's possible to make CoH movies. This was how the screenshots displayed in
this article were made. I now believe that this is how Paragon devs made all of the actual in-game cutscenes, too. Paragon Wiki has a rudimentary page describing the commands that you can give
here. However, in order to make the movies that I want to make, I would greatly appreciate the following questions answered. Thank you all for your help!
I'm a Mac user. How do I watch my CoH demorecordings with my Mac CoH client?How do I make a custom critter in a movie as I would using Mission Architect?Is there a repository anywhere containing the names of maps, critters, etc. that we can use as a catalog for moviemaking?Can we set up a sharing website for CoH players to post their demos so that we can learn each-other's tricks (maybe on Orouboros Portal)?Thank you very much!
