If I'm playing, and it's not a match against human opponents I'm likely running it, and you can see what's going on on my screens.


Now, think multistation. (Think dual monitors, for those like me who have that)



(Any newbies want a training game?)

It might be more readable if I move the quality slider - it ranges from 25 to 75, 30 being default. (Though it might be about jpg compression factor, in which case it's almost at max already)

You did try the "full size picture" link, I hope?


I even did the North Atlantic Convoy mission successfully. Did anyone watch it live?

I haven't tried it yet but what a great training tool! In multi-station you can only see the screens assigned to you. This way someone could start a dive and either watch or be watched with TS or Ventrillo running.

Good heads up on this one (from a guy who needs training!).

A small tutorial on how to get it going.

To view another person playing:

Go to www.freegamecam.com
Find Dangerous Waters in the list. If it's along the top with a lit bulb, there is someone playing and showing right then.

To show your game:

Go to www.freegamecam.com and click the download link (second line below the logo)
This is not an installer, it's the program itself.

Start it, and it will ask you to log in. If you do not have an account with markeedragon, click the link "Need An Account?"

(Note: If the title bar says 1,2 instead of 1.2 you need to change the regional settings so as to use . as a decimal marker. This is a known bug.)

Once you have the account, in the "Game to put up on Cam" dropdown, select add/remove games, make sure at least dangerous waters is selected, and press save.

Select DW in the drop-down box.

For text readability it's recommended the quality/size slider is at least at ~60.
YMMV.

(Optional) Tell (the?) others where to find it.

Start the game.


If playing multiplayer, if you are getting excessive lag spikes every 30 seconds, lower the quality slider until it is acceptable.
(Hardcore lowping-required people should have a dual connection for this ;) )

Only the italized steps need be repeated the second time
