Post by: StepS on June 24, 2013, 03:23 PM
A multi-monitor contest, described in this post (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/worms-armageddon/multi-monitor-video-contest-21269/msg171764/#msg171764). The first phase ("the one who posts it first") is over, here comes the 2nd!

Don't forget the latest D3D9Wnd (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/worms-armageddon/d3d9wnd-(multimon-contest-ongoing)-19063/)!

Two monitors 1920x1200
Nvidia GTX 480 1536mb
Core i7-3820

Checked GPU settings but can't find the appropriate setting. I suspect it's a false error.. my computer can handle much more intense applications.

ok, which version do you have: 0.5.2.4 or 0.5.2.5 (check this in the right click -> file's properties)? I did a small mistake after .4 release and fixed it after some hours, so maybe you downloaded the old one.

EDIT: j0e has confirmed to me that he was using an older (.4) version. false alarm.

anything except 240p is fine, assuming the video isn't too blurry.

You should've set this rule from the start, StepS, I captured the video according to conditions from your first post, you can't change rules during this contest imo..

OK guys, thanks for testing, recording and submitting, I appreciate this  :-*

And now... the results.

Spoiler! View
- Although the Xrayez's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX6y9-8f-hE) didn't meet the quality requirements that I mentioned above, his entry was the first and somewhat original: for this he used a vertical setup of two differently-sized monitors, which actually impressed me.
- j0e's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhDxCnzsW2Q) was 2nd, although he worked seemingly longer for his video. Of course, there's no HD (but the quality is better than above), and he didn't find out quickly how to record sound in conjunction with the PS3 eye camera, but he claims it to be his first video upload ever, therefore 'no problem', said I.

And so, in result, both Xrayez and j0e receive a prize, of $8, as it seems to be the most fair thing to do in this case. Thank you all, and if possible in future, I recommend (but not necessarily) you both to re-record your footages (using any map or scheme of course) in a better quality.


Prizes will be delivered tomorrow (25 Jun), contact me in PM to discuss where and how to send you your prize.


And now what's next. I'm happy to announce that three more people will also be awarded.
The total prize will be a sum of the following conditions:
Quality + length + my_own_opinion

This time, the video's quality has to be:
The more the better.

Minimal length is 1 minute. There's no maximal length, although only the first 3 minutes will be considered.

My own opinion will, of course, be my own opinion: depending on how I see your video, from different points of view, but mostly subjective.

The minimal prize, assuming all the required conditions are met, is $1. The max prize is $5.

And, again, don't forget the latest version of the module (0.5.2.5 (http://myfiles.my1.ru/wa/wk/wkD3D9Wnd.rar)), with the multi-mon settings configured.

Good luck to you all!  :P

Official rules established on 24.06.13, 19:43 GMT.

* If you stretch the video to 480p from a smaller size then make sure that this action meets the "not too much blurry" condition.
