But I'm just thinking out loud! Trop

If you know how to record them just make a quick recording. Starting and stopping it is enough to get your toons costume to record. Also if you do you where you would like the setting to take place at it helps. Send me the demo files and I'll make you a screenshot of them both. See Shades of Crey or 150 Meters to the Ground by me in the Art section. That is basically what I did for those compositions.

I'll point you here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=1874789 It's a good enough explanation and how I learned the basics of recording. Basically issue the record command then the stop. The longer the recording the bigger the text file. I usually make macros so I can quickly start and stop. All I am looking for is the games text entries of what your chracters look like. That I then manipulate into whatever position or pose I want. I'd suggest naming them something simple and consecutive. (I.E. Robo1, Robo2, Robo3... etc. _________________ Need a break from COH Fan Fiction? Try www.AnthonyHarte.com A Sci-Fi Fantasy Source.

That's why screenshots should be taken with grains of salt. Anyhting can just about be done. If you want to even try it yourself there are guides in main forums that even walk you through the basic set-up. _________________ Need a break from COH Fan Fiction?

Also if it's not mentioned anywhere you have looked this little site might come in handy. I cannot vouch for its accuracy becuase I haven't demo hacked in a while. http://home.twcny.rr.com/scuzzbopper/coh/demos.html It's basically all of, or most or the entire entities in the game. Happy hacking! _________________ Need a break from COH Fan Fiction? Try www.AnthonyHarte.com A Sci-Fi Fantasy Source.
