Has it been done before? I'm experimenting with making very fast minimap movies like this one I just made for Trolls vs Saunamen (Trolls marine round, S15 semi-finals, ns_veil).

I want to make the background completely black sort of like in this short clip of the same round:

But without losing all the death notices.

Comments/like/dislike, etc.

Haha nice idea actinum. Its actually informative.

I hope in NS2 we could have such minimap progressions automatically viewable after-game.

you might consider slowing it a bit (like 20%), could be better :)

I updated the clips with a summary of the main highlights in the info section. I might make a couple more for the S15 Div 2 finals.

nice idea act, but a tad too fast imo. maybe try 5x instead of 10x and see if that works. i found myself rewatching to keep tracking of the lifeforms, marine movements, rt biting, etc.

Yes - I agree that the clips are too fast like this. I was trying to balance upload size with the value of each frame. I'll slow down the next set of minimap movies and maybe create two different speeds.
