I wasn't actually thinking of making movies while on a server. It would involve too much messing around.
For a start eveyone would have to communicate with each other without using text on screen and there is no way my dialup connection will handle running RF and internet speach software at the same time.
I was just going to try it out over a LAN.

yeah, i was wondering about that. ... are you planning for the charaters to type and speak? because we could just type out what we want to do then everyone will go silent while recording video ... then later you could dub in the sound to match the video.
communication is still giong to be hard though ... you might have better luck over LAN. i have a 5 comp system setup but, i don't think you guys are willing to come to nebraska to do it here.
and people would mess around on a server more than a LAN ... . so i guess i can't help you ...
Well, has anyone ever seen/used that Spectator mod in action? I was never able to use it... Just a thought if someone could spec. and the others emulate actual gameplay.

Anyone else know more about it?

Basically the server runs the spectator version of RF.exe and the clients can roam around like a ghost rather than looking at where they died.
Back in RF... getting back into the swing of things!

Kiliad, maybe you should get a job and buy high speed! The only problem, is that LAN would severely limit the ability for us to participate.

What about, rather than a LAN, a pass'd server?

Well one thing we could use is ventrilo and have one person host a Ventrilo server while another hosts a RF server. Also one problem with the spctator mod is there's a red outline around the top and bottom of the screen. THis could be a problem as it'll pop up in the videos.

That would be pointless, Ventrillo only holds 8 people with the latest unlicensed server.
TeamSpeak server would be more efficient, we could have as many peeps as we want

One of my clan's servers runs a dedicated teamspeak server.
It's at: 24.222.181.173:8767. Those who havn't used it before can download the client here.
