Ok, I made this Like, A billion Years ago, (or four months)
But i thought it was kinda funny so i posted it.

It is not a game, just so you know, it is a movie.

Nice! How you get the voices to sound all squeaky like that? is there a program you can edit sound files with to give it that effect?

[zarfang8]

Wow! I forgot i had posted this!

To answer you're question X2495iiii, I actually used my own voice, but i talked very slowly, and then sped it up twice. I tried to post this on my youtube channel, but as you, (or maybe chris101b, can't remember) said, There are a lot of problems in the alice video exporter. Alice would actually shut down every time i stopped recording.

The program I used is sound recorder, Which i think is in every windows computer, in start>allprograms>accesories>entertainment>Soundrecorder. You need a microphone, though. I do have a mic, but it is very cheap and old. It took me a few times to get any quality out of it really.

I think both me and x2495iii have said that the Alice video exporter has problems. Okay, let me watch the movie...

Lol, I liked the voices, remind me of some of the people I hear on xbox live.

I am looking at this on my friend's computer... Wow! I can really tell a difference from the simple screen resolution problem.

i feel like I am looking at the screen the size of an Ipod or somthing compared to this.

but it's really only a difference of 800x600 to 1024x768 pixels. (I think tha's it, at least). Dang, this is a lot easier.

I recommend looking at a program called CamStudio if you can't get the exporter to work. It records activity on portions of your computer (or the whole screen, if you like), and can even sync the video to sound if you want. I've been testing it for a few days and I'm happy with it so far.

Is it free?

Where can i get it, just camstudio.com?

And yes, it's free.

[zarfang8]

Thanks, x2495iiii, and deplenator.

I'll check it out, see what i can do.


EDIT: Wow... that downloaded fast.
Wow... That's really easy to use!

Cool. If this works, I will be posting a lot of my videos on Youtube.

My channel name is wolfstrike5

I share it with 2 other guys, One of which is on the forms.
His username, is Wolfstrike. (He started the youtube in the first place.)

Hmmm.... I like camstudio, But it is not very high quality.

Hmmm.... I like camstudio, But it is not very high quality.

CamStudio is a good product, however I have found that if you're OS is VISTA or WINDOWS 7 it is unable to record any sound from your Alice project. (M$ recently decided they needed to capture the IRQ's for sound to the speakers and will not relinquish control.) CamStudio and some other 'screen capture' programs record sound from your speaker output. If you read the documentation before you download you will see that they admit they can not capture sound on VISTA or WIN-7.

As long as you are not running VISTA or WIN-7, or have sound in your Alice world, you should be ok with programs like CamStudio or Camtasia.

Unfortunately, I'm running both OS's now. I've found that WMCapture will record audio and video on these machines. (I'm not sure how there were able to 'work-around' the problem.) The video quality is not good if you attempt to save in MP3 format however if you save to .avi both outputs are fine. (The FREE version of the product only allows you to record 2 mins of an Alice program. The full program is USD $40)

(This works for Alice 2.0 and 2.2. I haven't tested WMCapture on 3.0 yet as I am still attempting to exploit the ability to leverage Alice in Java as far as I can. 3.0 is awesome!!)

Good luck,

I liked this castle but it has to many parts, so i cant move it or do anything with it. Save them all as one object
