The World of Aenea - Shameless Promotion Thread

[odbo255]

Hey all, feel free to post to this thread any promotion related activities (or stuff that could potentially be used for promo purposes) whether they be video captures, screenshots, tutorials, or what have you.

Please tell us a little about what you've put together and a link to it.

[odbo255]

I'll go first.

A photostory of the Hall of Fame ad banners on youtube.

Currently not public, pending review/approval by (let me know when I can make it public!).

View it by going directly to the link.

Nice!  Kind of fun watching that HoF number tick upward with each image.

You can make it public anytime you want. No need to wait for approval from me.

[odbo255]

Glad you like it.

Thought I would ask for approval this time because I think player promotion is new uncharted territory.

I'll go wild in the future.... Hahahahaha

Two new videos.

EDIT: Looks like there is some audio sync issues on these which I will iron out later. Audio appears to be preceding the video by about 1.5 seconds.

EDIT2: New urls in post below to fixed versions

What program are you using for your video editing?

[odbo255]

OBS into VirtualDub into Movie Maker 2012

Open to suggestions, this is new to me.

[MannyJabrielle]

See if you can get adobe premiere.

[odbo255]

Thanks for the suggestion, looking for methods that are either free or low cost. Premiere Elements is $100.

VirtualDub is the offender, working to resolve now.

[odbo255]

VirtualDub evidently has well documented issues with sync issues with recordings longer than 20 minutes.

I gave a good hour+ to attempting to resolve, lots of half-solutions out there, none of them really any good.

Dumped VirtualDub for avidemux, which works the champ.

Stumbled on this gem over at BSN; Aenea is listed near the end of the article:

At the end of next month, dozens of online worlds will flicker and vanish with the flip of a switch. It's a online apocalypse the likes of which we have not seen in quite some time, although you might be forgiven for not having heard of it before now.

When GameSpy Technology goes offline on May 31st, dozens of EA games that relied on the platform for multiplayer functionality will lose their online components by June 30th. Because of this, Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2 will find that their persistent player-made and -run worlds are in danger. For over a decade now, players have poured creative energies and roleplaying enthusiasm into these micro-MMOs. Could an era be about to end?

Fortunately, players are already swinging into action to work around the shutdown, keeping their worlds alive and detached from GameSpy's umbilical cord. I see this event as a wake-up call for people like yours truly who are acquainted primarily with BioWare and Obsidian's single-player offerings and are ignorant of the larger Neverwinter Nights community out there. Let's take a look at this engrossing online realm and how it came to be.

errr.. how do we connect after this?

Currently I launch Neverwinter Nights > multiplayer > Login > Join internet Game > History Tab > Select The World of Aenea (or whatever other server i go to)

Is there a different way we should be doing it????

[monsinyana]

Also, on that article i cant believe they didn't mention Narfell, City of Arabel, or Prisoners of the Mist

I don't happen to know the current status of Narfell but CoA and PoTM are still quite active. (As i post this PoTM has 60 people on out of a possible total of 90)

[daveyeisley]

One way to connect that doesnt require the NWN launcher or gamespy (and my favorite and most efficient way to get in game)...

Here is the forum thread:

Alundaio's NWN Launcher

Direct link to NWN Vault

A little bit of shameless advertising in a completely different game... Yes I took the Aenea logo from the forum, had a blast editing it with GiMP, adding some transparency, a little shading. Turned into a overlay texture. Had some more fun trying to get it to work correctly in .... the map I made for Portal 2 by Valve. I hope doesn't mind !!!

In-game screenshot (this is viewed just as the player enters and exits the level):




And a link to the map itself on the Steam Workshop (for those of you that have Portal 2).. see advertising works both ways
Could Have Added Other Shades

EDIT :: I changed the layout of the entry and exit hallways of the level, so I moved the "advertisements" to a small space on the wall, this makes them a bit more pronounced whilst also not too intrusive.
