Webcam feature

[Thedrish]

Wouldn't it be nice if there would be one or perhaps more webcams?

People not in the game can see what goes around in our great world.
You could think of a webcam in Hydlaa, Ojaveda and the Arena.

hahahahaha....that would be funnnny....and then you could listen to convo's too...and maybe install one into one of Harnquist's eyes.

Why?

[Baldur]

Lol, hope you're kiddin'.

Everything in-game is in-game. That's why there are no messengers that allow you to contact people in-game when you're out-of-game - because if you want to know what's going on, you fire up your client and get in there.

... because if you want to know what's going on, you fire up your client and get in there.

If you can fire it up of course 
Some might be at work and not have the ability to join in. Having some sort of "webcam" would allow them to see what goes on (just a overview, no interaction or listening in whatsoever).

[Karyuu]

That seems rather silly to me. If you're at work, I'm sure you can find other more entertaining ways to spend your time than gaze upon the slow and silent figures of characters wandering through Yliakum. There is no need for an out-of-game "webcam" for those who are bored - at least, no argument has been made here to warrant spending time and effort into such a thing.

I think the idea is nice, but well thats it: nice...
I tink there is no really reason for this feature, too.
The only thing that might really be usefull is an ingame-recorder, or something like this, to fil events, etc....
But thats another story.

[DaveG]

I think CS has a movie recorder in there somewhere, actually.

[Alfonso Knaf]

Well I found a Textfile with a shortcut mentioned to start the recorder (alt+R)... but this does not work.

[DaveG]

The DLL would need to be included in the package.  I'll give it a shot on my build.

Just have familiars that can fly around and be your eyes.  It would be functionally similar.

[Kymizer]

hahahahaha....that would be funnnny....and then you could listen to convo's too...and maybe install one into one of Harnquist's eyes.

lol...i was just throwing crazy ideas about it..i wasn't being that serious, but it would be intresting to have that recorder work.

Look there for -> Movie recording in CS. It do works well (I used it successfully on Linux). Remember to prepare a lot of free space on disk before recording.

[Alfonso Knaf]

How did you get it working?
I tried it too, but it didn't load the plugin.
