As for the jumping, I chuckled when you said "And stop jumping around nervously!" at the end of the briefing scene.  you handled it really well there lol, and it made the jumping part of the act.

Well, maybe it's a bit late, but if you wanna know, here is the translation of the German speech in the movie.

-> Just click here (PDF document).

want me to upload the full movie to youtube? how did you do the tank moving and the bird flying? also how did you get it not to display the GUI, like, "Following (player name here)"? also, how did you do the tank thing where it shot bullets out of the tank, just a modded bullet gfx? also, whered u get your sound effects?

Also, why were they jumping up?

[Interruptman]

Sure you are allowed to upload the movie @ youtube.

The tank scene (and the scene with the driving car) wasn't created with Soldat (only with the graphics). They were created with GameMaker. I put the graphics there and made some small programs with the only function to make these scenes possible.

The "Following [...]" was removed, because I started all demos (for capturing with Fraps) with command line parameters. You can tell Soldat with it not to view any texts (except the chat messages) during the demo is playing.

The sound effects I got by Google... dunno where exactly, but they were for free. SOme of them I created by ripping of youtube clips (for example most of the weapon firing sounds).

The tank shoots like as I said because of the fact it was created in a separate program.

Finally these guys are jumping because of a demo bug I couldn't kill. During the play and recording the demo, these guys didn't jump. When I was playing and capturing the demo files, they were jumping, so I couldn't prevent them from jumping at all. Some of the scenes I were making up to 10 times because of this nasty problem.

Maybe someone cares: I plan to make a new Soldat movie soon!

I published a first trailer, that gives you some information:

# YouTube-Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7qlePTn2tA

As you will notice it is in German only. The main movie may have subtitles or English language. For this trailer I'll translate it to you in English:

00:10 - Good evening!
00:16 - Our producer, Jimmy, wants you to know something.
00:25 - Jimmy: "Mmh.."
00:27 - Jimmy: "Night is coming!"
00:32 - Jimmy: "JAMES!"
00:37 - Jimmy: "JAMES!"
00:42 - Jimmy: "Finally! One more whiskey please!"
00:49 - Jimmy: "Well, you asked yourselves surely why I invited you to me."
00:51 - Jimmy: "Well..."
00:55 - Jimmy: "My boss is going to make a new movie..."
00:59 - Jimmy: "A Soldat movie!"
01:03 - Jimmy: "And it will be really good - like everytime!"
01:07 - Jimmy: "Yeah... !"
01:08 - Jimmy: "So..."
01:10 - Jimmy: "Do you know the following joke: ... ?"
01:13 - Jimmy: "Two hunters are meeting* each other..."
01:15 - Jimmy: "Both dead."
01:17 - Jimmy: "Hahahahaha."
01:21 - More detailled information coming soon...

* In German to meet and to hit is the same word.

Sincerely, Interruptman.

Ok, man, seriously, you REALLY need to make it english. I didn't watch this move just because of that!

[Interruptman]

Another preview is out now. I tried to make more moving and changing things possible (as I use Soldat 1.4.2 for that because of better demo recording I am not able to use animated GIFs in my films). If you are interested in that, watch this short movie (1:26 minutes; 14 mb). If you don't want to watch something with German language, don't watch.
