- Wheatley -> Stalemate resolution associate qualifications in glados room
- Hacks used:
- Neurotoxin generator:
- On every tick frame, laser going out of moving Portal is off-center.
- Game frames are at 30 ticks/sec, the in-between frames being interpolated.
- Interpolated frames have regular laser placement
- Recording at 60fps would give 30fps of usable interpolated frames.
- Solution: Record at 120fps and discard either all odd or all even frames, depending on which of these two sets contains the tick frames.
- Tube ride:
- Camera movement choppy during tube ride sequence.
- To fix, record at 180fps, then for n going 3 to (number of frames - 3), increasing by increments of 3:
- For every pixel in frame:
- For every color component in pixel:
- Color = 4% color of frame n-2 + 16% frame n-1 + 60% frame n + 16% frame n+1 + 4% frame n+2
- Let resulting frame be numbered finalframe_(n/3)
- Enrichment Sphere 3:
- Breaking glass simulation CPU-intensive, causes laggy framerate and demo frames drops -> highly interpolated demo
- To fix, use slowmo during the glass breaking; get a choppy sequence but it'll be 10x less choppy in final demo
- Shift = Slow-mo key:
alias +slowmo "demo_recordcommands 0; host_timescale 0.1"
alias +slowmo "host_timescale 1; demo_recordcommands 1"
bind shift +slowmo
