{Input Requested} PR for dummy's Videos

[Oddsodz]

Ok. So as we all know by now. There is a mass influx of new players. This is good thing in the long run. But as more player take up the challenge that is PR, Some of the older long time players are getting a little frustrated with "new player syndrome" (nice way or saying n00b). So I have come to ask that if you have in the passed made a video on how to do something in PR. Like say how to drive a tank. Or how to take off in a jet, And so on. If so. Can I use it?

Here is what I plan to do. As some of you know. I Have a side project called the "PR-Downloader" (more info here http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f10-...-pr-files.html ). Well in it's next build, I wish to add a nice little Flash.exe movie that has all the game basics in a nice menu for the "New Players" to watch. This video will auto play as soon as the "PR-Downloader" starts to download and install the mod. As the downloading takes a long time no matter how or where you get it. I Feel this would make a great time to teach the new players how to play. This will help out new players in a big way. And save the hair of some of the old gitz who have been playing since build PR.001

So can you help? Do you have a video? The more videos on different subjects I get, the better the video will be. If you do have one. Please post a link below and the names of who made it.

Thanks.

Naice! I wanted to do a flash screen like you suggested a while ago but decided I wanted to do text-tutorials first!

I might make one for this project though! As one movie is far less work than a whole tutorial bunch!

Its a good idea to integrate it with the PR downloader. You got any statistics on how much it gets used? In my oppinion only the PR vets use it since they are on the forums and know of the existence. If the DEVS could somehow agree to put this on the main site as the main download tool than it would really help.

As of right now. I Have a count of 196 completed downloads. Not a really high number really. But as you say. Only pepole on this forum have seen it. And only today somebody was using it to install. So the word is out about it. There is talk about using it in a bigger capacity in the next release of PR. But is a long way away at this time. And not something to worry about here. Remember, It is still a young system.

As for you guys making videos. That is great news. I Thank you for taking the time to make them. And I will of cause be on call to act/stunt/get killed/extra in any of them.

The more of these type of videos we get. The less chance of everybody suffering from "New Player syndrome".

Cool Cool! Yea I know its a young program (and a really cool one as well ) but I was more thinking along the lines of making it worthwile to put the videos in next to it.

The goal is to train the new guys. And the new guys will probably just pass it by going to the website. So if its not that big of a hassle to put them in, or you really want to put it in than I'd do it. But if not I'd just go for a flash website or page where you can acces them (Or both!)

If you plan on making a series of shorter videos, or compiling a series of shorts into one, I would love to help out. Me and my friend often (as often as possible) team up on armor maps and usually do a great job in tanks or apc's, so maybe him and myself could work together on the armor section of the video.

So yeah, let me know if you want me to work on an armor tutorial video, or if it's already been done.

That's what I am going for. Short Basics videos about how to get in a tank and why the gun does not move for 30 secs and so on.

I'll get to work on the armor vid then =)

A little something I made when I joined NATO.
