Just a suggestion, if it could be possible to have video walk through on how to Fred like the basics fredding like putting down ships sending ships to certain waypoints and maybe later on some advance stuff because some might not like reading directions in the wikki or anywhere else they might prefer seeing them, just a thought don't know if there was a topic like this being discussed lol.

The idea does have some merit I'd agree.

It is much harder to put together a video tutorial than a written one of course.

[NJSP 3002]

Very true but it will help freders to understand what to do in some cases.

But honestly, given that the original FRED documentation does a very good job of explaining all this, what's the point? Sure, some people may not like to read instructions, but is it really that hard?

I did the entire original FRED walkthrough, and it really does teach pretty much everything you need to know from there on out. After that, you just need to use it and learn what many of the newer sexps do.

It doesn't teach when-arguments or nested conditionals, but it's definitely a great starter.

 Im Not saying your directions on how to Fred are terrible in anyway they help me all the time I'm just trying to purpose a better way for people to a visualize Fred better to watch those directions you made to be seen step by step.

I like this idea. Could teach me things when I need to know...when I need it.




...although as a novice FREDder, I figure out stuff by dead reckoning, experiments and trial-and-error. I'm a pretty basic FREDder though, nothing special like using complicated SEXPs (I've never been able to figure out how to SEXP a ship's hull to repair every x seconds, so I just...never touched SEXPs anymore).

It might be worth someone simply making a video OF the original FRED walkthrough.

[bigchunk1]

Anyone know of any good screen capture software out there? Other than fraps?

[Goober5000]

GameCam has worked well for me in the past.

[KyadCK]

I prefer the hardware route because, well, most things that can be done via hardware do better that way. A $50 tuner can get you 480p, and $150 can get you full 1080p (prices based on location).

Camtasia is a good way to create a video tutorial as well. It doesn't slow down performance and it offers post production suite after the screen capture is finished.
