Try to not record fullscreen like you are. Shrink the VBA down to normal size (or x2), and shrink the Camtasia recording screen to match.

Alright, I'll give that a try and see if that works.
Thanks for the tip.

No problem. I've actually been wondering why you've been recording fullscreen, since, unless you've got a great computer, that would be pretty taxing.

Lol, I just thought it would be greater quality but, I guess not.
Btw do you know any great spriters so I can have an idea who to choose to help me out with my sprites?
Since you're good at them, why not helping me out if you don't mind?

[I have opinions]

You can just post a topic in the spriting section.

And I'm too busy with my own sprites to help anyone.

Woo hoo chapter 5!

Damn you like to call people scum
So um Mil's mug just looks...off to me. And the smiling frames are legit just the talking frames with a bit more shading on the right side haha.

That Legault/Gerik/Nergal and other people splice looks pretty nice. I feel like the shading around the messed up eye makes it stand out and you may want to fix that a bit.

Otherwise it's looking great!

Thanks Fuzz!
Yeah, I'm bout to start a topic in the sprite section to get help on my sprites and see if they can help me out on them.
You can help too if you like too :)

I tried using the built-in recorder of the VBA but, it always kept giving me problems. Idk if there is another better recorder I can get that doesn't freeze and stuff.

use VBA re-recording 23.2 if you're not using it already (not sure if there's more recent versions available, but this is the one that i use and it works like a charm)

also make sure that you're recording using the proper codecs

overall the quality is much better in an .avi recorded directly from VBA

Alright, thanks for the suggestion.
I'll try what Seph said first, if that didn't work then I'll deff give this one a try.

Oh, one more thing about recording. If you don't like Camtasia or it starts giving you annoying issues (like having to wait for file to be created after you finish recording and then crashing), you can also record VBA in FRAPS if you use the settings I have shown here (any size you want it to be too without fiddling with Camtasia's window nonsense). You don't need a special VBA (the one from the VBA site is fine), and you never have to worry about desync and will know if lag shows up prior to the recording being finalized.

Aside from that, I'm looking forward to you your hack and playing it when you release your patch(es)!

[NYZgamer3]

Thanks Felover!
This will help a lot. :)

[Felover3]

Oh wait, one more thing you have to do is make the frame skip != 0. I just put it at one personally.

Alright cool, Thanks again!

[I don't play for turns]

Writing's a little weird, and there are a few quirks about it so far, but all in all a job well done. I feel bad for Ragnar's speed stat. :P

Edit: Disregard my critiques. I just watched the updated version.

Btw Happy Mothers Day to all! :)

[fuzz94]

Yay yay yay!

One thing is, "You two gaurd the border with your lives."

Two guys holding off an army.

You should maybe change the scenario to the 2 commanders of 2 large troops talk to Ragnar (still generics) and he tells them to free the rest of the troops in the dungeon and have the two troops stationed at the border, so it is like 30 guys instead of 2.
