Question: Is it possible to have a -job being recorded with one of the Nexuiz presets (Low, medium, -normal, high, ultra), without affecting my Nexuiz installation in -general (so that this configuration is just active during capturing -the current demo?
-Yes it is. In Nexuiz there are config -files for this, which are called:
-effects-low.cfg
-effects-med.cfg
-effects-normal.cfg
-effects-high.cfg
-effects-ultra.cfg
-effects-ultimate.cfg
-effects-omg.cfg
-In order to use them, there are 2 -approaches
-Approach 1: You should -consider to use a new directory for each new set of effect configs -you want to try out. This will simply help you to avoid loss of your -original config, or any unwanted modification to it. For example, -setup Nexuiz manually by starting it with some userdir, e.g. -userdir -effectTestUltimate, start Nexuiz, go into the menu and set the -effects to ultimate (exec effects-ultimate.cfg in the -console). Maybe fine-tune settings as you like. Then put the -userdir -effectTestUltimate directive into the engine parameters -field of the job.
-Approach 2: For this approach it is -recommended that you do a backup of your config somewhere else, even -though everything should work fine and your original config should -not be modified at all after the demo was recorded.
-Add these 4 lines to the exec before -capture field:
-saveconfig backup.cfg
-cvar_resettodefaults_all
-exec effects-ultimate.cfg
-r_restart
-The first line will backup your -current config to “backup.cfg”. The second line resets -all variables (you can remove this if you want, but sometimes these -effect-xyz.cfg config files will not set every single variable to the -new value, but assume that some values have their default value, -which might not be the case in your config. So resetting everything -to defaults is recommended. Of course you can choose to use another -effects config than effects-ultimate.cfg. After executing that -effects config a restart of the renderer (r_restart) is -mandatory, because of some of the changes of the effects config not -being applied without a renderer-restart. Also, keep in mind that the -cvar_resettodefaults_all will have changed your Nexuiz screen -resolution (vid_height, vid_width). The r_restart command however -won't take these changes into account (it will still use your old resolution), -only vid_restart would. -This just means that you do not have to change these 2 variables -manually to “keep” your old screen resolution, as long as -you don't use vid_restart.
-Also add this to your exec after -capture field:
-cvar_resettodefaults_all
-exec backup.cfg
-Please note: in case you want to -setup other special things, e.g. whether to record in the AVI instead -of OGV format, the video FPS, etc, you'd have to put these settings -some place after the cvar_resettodefaults_all command -in the exec before capture field.

Question: Is it possible to record -a job in a particular screen resolution?
-Yes it is. The height and width are -configured by setting the value vid_height and vid_width to your -desired value. For example to record a demo in the HD resolution, -which is 1280x720, put this into the exec before capture -field:
-vid_width 1280
-vid_height 720
-vid_restart

Question: I have found a bug, or I -encountered some other problem, what do I do? -
-Well, truth to be told, I cannot -guarantee for any support of this tool. You can put questions or -comments into the forum thread of the AlienTrap forums where you -downloaded the tool from.
