Step 1 - What you will need

Okay, there are a couple of things you will need before you can even start to work through this tutorial.

  • PLUGINPAC - the pluginpac for Vegas adds some nice, and quite handy little filters to Vegas video. So you'll need to download and install these first.

  • CONSOLE PACK - A simple self made set of files which you need to extract to your RTCW/OSP folder. This will probably work for other mods where the console has not been changed.. e.g., EDV, in which case extract it to your RTCW/EDV folder. This pack will make the background of your console grey, ideally it should be 128,128,128 grey the overlay method we use in Vegas makes this shade totally transparent, whilst retaining the other colours. We can see the differences between the standard console and the hacked one below.

  • VIRTUAL DUB - You can find out more about how to use this application to convert image sets in this tutorial.

  • vDUB PROCESSING SETTINGS - These will convert the the screenshots containing the console, to a format and layout which is better suited to editing in Vegas. It also ensures that the grey used in the background is the correct shade, as the output in the screenshots will depend heavily on what brightness settings you have set in RTCW.
