General Guide to HL2 Movie Making

[m0nKeY]

I was writing some reference material for a friend as we are about to start making a multi-gaming movie and used HL2 as an example.

I thought maybe this article maybe of some use to others, and so I thought id post it here for you guys.

What is the content going to be, just some single player footage? Or some HL2DM frag fests?

BIG UPDATE[/B[

The script that was originally used in that article had errors. They have now been fixed. You can also find a download link at the bottom of the article for the .cfg file now.

It should be:

// #f1sk @ Quakenet

// Copy this script and paste in to notepad, save as f1sk.cfg.
// Put this file in your ..\half-life 2\hl2 folder.
// Type exec f1sk.cfg in the console to activate the script.

// Movie Script {

alias dev0 "developer 0"
