I was thinking the other day (yes i know dangerous) a large problem i am having with some of the more advanced manuvers and combos is my timing and how the buttons should be pressed and i thought of a soulution.

What if the trainers and knights with webcams and recording software record their hand movements in the keyboard during combo's and then post the videos so the students can see exactly what to do.

whaddoya think?

You can just put a pic of the four basic arrow keys and highlight them when pushed in-game, not sure though.

I believe someone made a demo video for strafe jumping. Put the basic up down left right keys to show when to press them. I believe that's what Silent is looking for. Your master is more than willing to help with anything ;)


my master has hit the button on the head with this description this is exactly the sort of thing i was thinking of but i didnt know you could super-impose the arrow keys over the recording but this is what i mean as it would show the exact timing

Aye if i can get the hang of it to some extent, then anyone can. Interesting idea though, creative. :)

I doubt that it would be any real help. Webcams tend to be blurry and have a low enought fps to have a bad flow.

And for that matter, people regularly use custom keybord setups. So everyone who would record something like this would have a diffrent setup.

Hmmm, good thinking, however, if you find urself a JAK+ they'll be more than willing to help u out :) Just idle a bit on the servers and see who connects, heh. Most people dont mind helping others out.

Just seek somebody knowledgable and willing out for help. You'll eventually get the hang of it, even if it takes learning it from a couple of people and a lot of practice. Trust me. :)
