After a nice long shower pondering the ideas for Machinimaism(is that a word?) I decided to go ahead, should be fun.

In my previous blog entry I listed some potential issues.. well I’ve got a solution for most of them.

• 1. So I’ll need to find a way to disable the HUD
  • Answer: To disable the HUD you need to first enable cheats; type ’sv_cheats 1′ in the console
    • then type in ‘cl_drawhud 0; r_drawviewmodel 0′
      • this will remove the HUD and the character model (arms etc)
• 2. I presume NOCLIP still works in TF2
  • Answer: Yep it does, type ‘NOCLIP’ in the console, again ’sv_cheats 1′ has to be active
• 3. Ideally there is a way to limit the movement speed of NOCLIP to allow for smooth dolly-esque shots
  • Answer: Triple Yay, ’sv_noclipspeed X’ controls the speed you move at when clipping, the default value for X is 5.

Also I’ve decided to go with Idea #2 (see previous blog entry), I’ll start posting more plans/ideas soon.
