Hi i saw this on the channel. I was recording this game but i am a beginner so i don't know if i qualify i have uploaded 4 videos on youtube. Any suggestions on how you want me to record it? Should i make some playthrought - showing gui and gameplay etc. I am fairly experienced in recording/ encoding videos so that is no problem to me, i play it anyways and recording it at same time does not hurt me at all.

Hi, any videos are cool :)
If you are not familiar enough with gameplay make just some cool looking videos.

You can give yourself units by saying /cheats
/nocost or /give unitname

Also engine has built in recording system - ctrl+f11 to enable it. It can record at max FPS but without sound.

How to find your videos?

They are on youtube but i only recorded one match and it's like a *raw footage* that's because i am asking what you need? This is last match i played maybe i make some "trailer" later with more editing if i get some spare time. About recording at full fps, youtube only support 25 fps so that's max i am recording at.

Licho said ctrl+f11 but he meant ctrl+f10.

This is Zero-K not evolution RTS :-)

Few tips:
settings -> graphics -> set resolution to match desktop resolution
F5 to hide GUI
ctrl+f11 to change GUI layout

We need videos, basically of any type. Regarding quality these videos look fine.

Gameplay, Ooh shiny and tutorial videos would be appreciated. No offence, but looking at you use the UI makes me think a UI tutorial is required. My biggest worry was why your menu, selection and build menu were halfway up your screen, did you change your screen resolution after running the game once? Just so you know these elements can be moved around with Ctrl+F11.

Yeah this also buged me, i don't know i played at 1280x1024. And than i did encoded to 1280x720 for youtube, i can record at 16:9 too.

Well i have little problem with the ui, i can't operate it fast enought, i did lost few games because my opponent managed to built more units before i did mine.

Thats normal part of the learning is learning how to use GUI fast.
Dont forget there is also gesture menu for construcitons (hold right mouse and move it while having constructor/commander selected).

It has a lot to do with build order also. Some quick gameplay recommendations:

1) Don't build nano turrets (caretakers) so early. It's better to get mobile constructors instead because firstly, they are faster to build because you have buildpower from both com and factory (factory cant help build nano turret), and secondly, because you can expand to take more mexes once you start stalling.

2) LLT (Light Laser Tower or Lotus) is 90 metal, and probably the best unit in the game for its cost. One or two can cover your base, and that is really the most defense you need for a while. Again, it's better to invest in mobile units that can help you take territory.

3) Be sure to keep a couple raiders always roaming about looking for cracks in the defense, and mexes and contructors to kill. They are really cheap, and almost always worth the scouting knowledge and psychological pressure they put on your opponent, even if they don't kill anything.

Don't forget, a lot of the game comes down to numbers. The one who has more resources and spends more resources will have the advantage, and resources come from territory!
