Perhaps the first edition is known already to plenty of you guys, but those that haven't heard of it:
Cueshark is starting up the second edition of showcase, so it's time to submit replays again!
This version will also be a replay tournament so to speak; everybody gets 30 seconds total to show off their most skillful and/or lucky actions while the music of their choice plays.
Afterwards, there will be a voting round (most likely on wormtube) to determine who wins the 2nd edition of showcase.
If you want to participate, just send your replays to Cueshark (cueshark@hotmail.com) en let him know what music you want playing in the background. Make sure the replay names include the playback time.
For those that already participated in the first edition, it's possible to enter again, but you're not allowed to use replays that have been used in the first edition.
Time to get cracking then! :)

Id really like to find some replays of some shots from bngs, and moves in elites but i have so many replays over many different pcs! I find it hard to remember a minepunch from years ago etc!
-
Very nice concept !!
Nice video too, too bad the Youtube logo is hiding the names of players :o
-
see in first replay the time 1min and 32 secs oky ploped in my first turn ;D
and in second replay in 14 min and 42 secs have a awesome and amazing shotgun shot ;D
cya ;D
and i will come back with more replays.. ;D

I figured that one was worth quoting as well, considering the file names :)
You can watch it on wormtube as well, but I'm not so sure I can embed that here.
-
I don't know, probably not, I remember MonkeyIsland setting up this youtube embed stuff.
Yea, I did not even read the filename... :P
-
So far no one has sent his replays to Cueshark! I don't believe there's no one with good replays here.
Come on, guys! Get to it!
-
Do you have a deadline? Since I have lost my old replays, I have basically none at the moment, so if there was a sharp deadline I could play and get some until.
-
Rather sooner than later :) The longer people wait with sending in replays, the more likely it just won't happen.
Too bad you lost your replays :o Did this happen when you were cleaning up your replay folder?
I usually save up replays where fun things happen in a seperate folder. You never know when you want to see them again!
-
There was a little accident with my hard drive, let's just say I was a moron... I lost 600GB of movies, documents, pictures... Bad luck. Most of my programs were there too, eventually, also my replays.
-

i wish i did that :/ it would take me hours to find all of my good replays
-
Just a couple of days ago I made a shortcut of my users folder. I always was too lazy to browse into worms user folder.
That's step one for me for now ;D
-
As I said, I am trying to play a lot now to make some moves, but so far, I didn't do any unique or nice movement (at least I think).
-
Only NinjaCamel has sent his stuff so far in response to this thread, but I'm certain more people have excellent replays!
Are there any other takers?
-
I got some good replays to send !!! ;D
I will do this ASAP :) (probably tonight)
I hope it's not too late :o
-
I already sent my replays to Cueshark too! I also sent my music and a little ReadMe file ;D

Same here, except music. :)
-
Good show, people :) That makes 8 contestants so far!
I've got word from Mablak he'll be submitting his replays as well, so that would make 9.
With thedogg, that would make 10!
The first showcase had 14 sections, so that would mean we're getting pretty close to making things happen
-
Nice to see your face again, darkone :) you can count me in aswell, I`ll send some stuff tonight or tomorrow night ;)
-
'lo there, Crazy sir :) Good! Keep 'em coming!
I recall Barman posting a comment on this video saying he had some unused replays lying around, so I'll give him a shout as well
-
At the moment, we have 10 people who sent in their replays!
We'll be needing a minimum of 15 people for this to get off the ground, but preferrably 20 people (or more!)
If you're not going to participate in this edition, use this as a signal that you should remember which replays have awesome things happening, so you'll get the chance to show off in later editions :)
-
I think this thread hasn't a good visibility, not everyone check those forums !
You should advertise a little ^^ Use a bot to advertise in AG ? :P
-
I just had an idea...
MI maybe you could post something on the home page to advertise about this showcase ? ^^
-
I can. I'm thinking about showing recent forum posts on the home page (again)
So that it attracts more people to the forums.

true

That would be great :)
-
Alright, we've got 12 people so far, but since we can't wait forever, we're going to set a deadline!
Thanks to all the people that sent in replays :)
The deadline is set for March 1st 2010, so if you want in and you haven't sent anything yet, get to it! :)
-
Who won the first one??
I intend to submit a section, assuming I've played enough to make a worthy 30 seconds by March ^_^
-
I did, sir :)
Cueshark has informed me 3 people have signed in addition to the 12 that already did, so yay for that :D
A showcase without Madden would be incomplete! get to it :)
-
I collect the replays and later I will send u to this email :)
-
Brilliant, I only saw this now. Somer seriously good stuff here.... Its the kinda stuff that makes me remember I could never rope properly lol!
-
I allready sent one replay to u Cue ;) ey yo check it 8)
-
Keep it up, hak :)
will we be enriched by JayP replays as well?
-
only in bng ::)
-
Ah yes yes replays Im sure I can do up one or two... cheating is ok right? jk
-
Just out of curiosity, why we don't see Cue here?
-
I am sure he is pretty busy with Jessica around... :) This is why not.
-
Is it possible to send a 40sec replay ? :/ I think thats the best i have, but a bit long meaybe :/ i'll watch for all my saves replays...
-
I have the same problem like the most of the people here, I can't find past replays which include this nice moves. I've just hung around at worms2d.info as quite often and I found something very useful. ReplayShark (http://worms2d.info/ReplayShark) is a third-party modul of WormKit which means you download the .dll file from the link given above and copy it into your Worms Armageddon directory. This programm requires WormKit to work so you have to watch the replays with WormKit.exe, when you press crtl + F12 a replay will be saved in the /Users/ReplayShark folder which starts from the moment you pressed crtl + F12.
The idea for this module came from Cueshark himself and it works not only in replays also in online games. Very useful in my opinion and maybe it will help for Showcase 3. ;)
-
Does that mean you can start kind of recording a new replay while watching a replay? Also, does that work while you are playing? Not like it was useful since one cannot know when a brilliant movement is coming, even tho one plans... but still :)
-
30 s is not enough for 'onl' players :-[ especially since some good tourns take from 20 to 30seconds:P
anyway if someona want see some good moves check it 8)
btw most of them is not 'luck' like yours bng shots :P
ONL best move contest: seasones1,2,3 and 4.
hf, worth to watch even if U dont like best worms schemme ;D
-

Yes.
Also, does that work while you are playing?
Yes.

Flori: nope, 40 seconds is too long. However, you don't have to have entire turns to be in your showcase section :) You can limit the parts you want shown to just parts of your turns so you can have more things added.
PiNK: Yeah, that's what I used too way back :) It was the sole reason for me having wk, too.
Ray: while you're playing and something awesome happens, you press ctrl-F12 and Replayshark will create a copy of the replay of the game you're currently in. The filename will also have times in them; the time in the filename is 30 seconds *before* you pressed ctrl-F12 (the dir is User/Replayshark)
Koras: most of those 30 seconds are filled with walking towards your target though and therefore not very spectacular :) There's no need to include the entire turn!
MonkeyIsland: what Ray said! (Jessica being Cueshark Jr.)
-
Koras: most of those 30 seconds are filled with walking towards your target though and therefore not very spectacular :)
These are the best moves of one year Open Intermediate League and when you say they're not spectacular then Intermediate players have nothing to add here. ::)

Perhaps you should include right after that ::) it drastically changes the way the first sentence should be interpreted. There's no need to include entire turns, just the parts of said turns that matter. Walking towards your target is not necessary.

Yeah naturally i said "some good tourns take from 20 to 30seconds"........ anyway look at this example, good turn but whole 30s:)
Of course some moves are shorter but most of them is at least +10 seconds,unfortunately(imo) best of them are 'very long'.

Absolutely gorgeous turn, but do we really need to see him jumping/walking down towards that worm?
At any rate, you don't need 6 different sections to stand a chance :)
TSR had by far the most shots and also the lowest score on the first one. Wyv on the other hand only had 3 shots there and a pretty high score
-
Every move can be easily edited for movie (skipping actions which arent really needed, like told before - moving or useless pointing out with homing; making frames much faster or whatever) even if it is whole 45s turn. Its a bit more complicated to make, but not that hard; dunno if Cueshark could handle it. Watch new movie by OutOfOrder, there are plenty intermediate frags, where 30sec is enought for at least 2-3 long moves, much more for simple ones.
-
;O
Hi guys,
Yeah, the idea is to pack as much quality in your 30 seconds as possible. So I'll always cut out unnecessary actions from your replays and get the best out of them.
With OOO's video he sped up the replay during some parts. This was really cool but it could get complicated if we offered the same option to Showcasers.
30 seconds each keeps the action moving nicely without the movie getting too long!

cue ;<

BOR
-
Update: 19 participants!
Cueshark has started making it already :) If anyone else still wishes to send in their replays, you're gonna have to hurry!
Excellent show to those who sent in their replays :)
-

-

-
Don't be so sure!
Cueshark has informed me that winning this edition of showcase is more difficult than the first time around :)
-
Yo Guys.
We're up to 20 participants.
Thanks for all your submissions and anyone who still wants to be involved. Let me know as soon as possible!
Cue :<
-
I don't know for sure. Is this what you are looking for?
[4:50]
-
Yes Monkey, but he's looking for 30 seconds worth of that, rather than 3 seconds. ;)
-
Have you received my hotmail Cue, with music request and the additional replay?
-
He has, sir! He's only missing feche's coice of music atm
-
Maybe he can take this music : :P :P
-
Indeed.
Showcase 2 is now well into production and should be finished within 2 weeks.
There are some really stunning replays and I think it's going to be an interesting competition!
Cue :<
-
And to those who don't think 2 weeks is enough to get in on the action, save up your replays for Showcase 3 :)
No guarantee that that will happen of course, but still!
-
Cueshark did you opened my replay? I sent u email. But.. I have more nice replays with my actions, greet ;D
-
Hmmm.
;O
No. D1 said that you were gonna send me an email but I never got one.
When did you send it? I don't remember receiving that email :<
-
yo, cue u got all of those i sent ya?
-
Last time I got a check in from Cue, he said he'd have this finished by next week :)
-

-
hey cueshark,i hope u got my email ;D
-
I have chosen this music:
EDIT: Cue, I promised I would send you a mail that contains the stuff, since the last one was too long. I hope I am not late.
-
I can't believe you just rick rolled me! Bastard Ray :)

I got so much super replays on my PC. On some I've written the time/s when some good shit happens, but on much, much more I haven't done that. If someone's interested, let me know and I'ma send ya.
-
Send a message to Cueshark if you can still participate in Showcase 2 or only in the upcoming third one, I would be interested. :)
-
You want my replays, Ray?
-
I meant why not participating in Showcase?
-
