  1. Wow, this is really cool @DaddyLongLegs. Awesome tank :D 

    If you don't mind, is it possible for you to post the GIFs directly here in the forum for easier viewing? You can just drag & drop the GIF files here into the post and it uploads automatically. Makes things easier to judge and for others to browse (no clicking needed). If you don't have a GIF file but a movie, you can use https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif to easily convert GIFs in good quality. thank you for posting :)

    I'll send you a Steam Key of Nimbatus via Private Message shortly. Congratulations!

    Everyone else: You're still in the game and we'll choose a new GIF in two weeks. Feel free to post new GIFs if you made another cool one. I'm looking forward to every new entry ❤️

  3. I don't read that many books, so my opinion might be not worth that much, but I really love those two series/IPs (children's books). Their mood/universe really appeals to me :)

  4. Do you mean when you link here in the forum to another thread? I also had this problem from time to time. I could fix it last time when i removed the last "/" from the link. So in this case, try:

    ".../community/index.php?/topic/2750-error-403-is-back"

    instead of

    ".../community/index.php?/topic/2750-error-403-is-back/"

    Maybe it works :)

  5. Hi everyone!

    We're revamping our GIF Competition to make it easier for everyone to enter.

    To get a chance to win a Nimbatus Alpha Key, all you have to do is post a good looking Nimbatus GIF you created yourself (with the  demo version ) in this thread.  Every other week our team will choose one GIF from this thread and award the creator one Steam Key.  The competition stays open.

    Rules:

    • You can only win once. If you already won a key in this or a previous GIF competition or you got a key via the giveaway, you are not eligible for this contest.
    • Only GIFs made with the  Nimbatus Demo  are allowed.
    • Several GIFs / entries per person are allowed. But please don't spam the thread with similar GIFs! Each GIF should be able to stand on it's own and is interesting in itself.
    • If you enter this contest, you allow us to share your GIF via our social media channels.

    Have Fun! ❤️ 

     

    Tipp 1: The GIF capture tool hides bad framerates. If you turn off the Bloom because of performance reasons, turn them on before recording the GIF. The game might have a low frame rate, but the resulting GIF should run smoothly and might result in nicer looking GIF because of the effects.

    Tipp 2: If you press F9, please wait until the "Generate GIF" message disappears, otherwise your recorded GIFs might get corrupted. Press F9 and wait, and then it should result in a 6 seconds long GIF.

  6. If people are eager to create stuff with Nimbatus I don't want to hinder them, and if I can motivate them to participate in activities, the better :) 

    Thank you for posting and showing that these contests are appreciated and wanted in the community ❤️

    We're discussing if we want to change the system of the GIF contest to a different one which suits the community/current activity better. Please bear with us for a moment, as we're busy preparing for the Gamescom in Cologne and working hard on preparing the Early Access version :)

    Everyone, please feel free to post your thoughts or ideas here. We'll update you as soon as we have reached a conclusion and prepared everything :)

  7. Hmm, this is really strange. I'm not familiar with all the technical details, so @Micha can maybe help more.

    - Can you try to make a screenshot via F8 and check if a folder appears? Maybe only making GIFs doesn't work.

    - Can you search your hard drive for the folder "Nimbatus_Screenshots", maybe the folder is put somewhere else?

    That's the only ideas I have on top of my mind. Let's go from there :) 

  8. Hmm, when are you pressing F9? Are you doing that in the Simulation or in the Game? If you are using a Notebook, maybe try to press FN+F9, because F9 is maybe not directly accessible. Are you sure you are in the right Folder? Can you make a screenshot? Maybe @Micha has an idea what else could go wrong. On which platform are you?

     

    If you don't use the included version, then there's no easy or fast way, unfortunately. A few possibilities:

    - Use Nvidia Shadowplay (if you have a Nvidia Graphicscard) to record gameplay (or other screencapture tool) and then cut it/use ezgif to compress it.

    - Go to window-mode in Nimbatus and use a free GIF tool like LICECap and make a Gif with that ( https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ ).

  9. Sure :) So in the folder where the Nimbatus.exe is, there should be a newly created folder called "Nimbatus_Screenshots". If everything worked you should find some GIFs in there.

    There's a bug in the game. When you repeatedly press F9 and don't wait until the gif is saved, the gif gets corrupted. So if your GIF is not 6 seconds long, you maybe have to redo them. I hope everything works and I'm looking forward to your creations :) 

  10. From the side of Nimbatus it's also a bit of a calm before the storm as we busily prepare the early access launch :) There will be new wind soon, from all sides an communities :)
