Playing AVI Files - black screen/crash

by Jonathan Kelly · in Torque Game Engine · 01/25/2005 (1:30 pm) · 5 replies

Hey, I'm ahving a problem with playing avis in torque. we're trying to play a video before the main menu, but first - It's not displaying the garage games logo at all. Also, after the video is done playing it sits at a black screen untill you click which, when you click even if it's during the playing of the movie, we get the following error:

Fatal: (c:\....\engine\platform\gameinterface.cc @ 53)
Error! ProccessEvent is not reentrant.

We've tracked down where the message is displayed but the variable it's taking in to check is a little vague. Anyone else have this problem and figure out how to fix it?

Thanks

Jonathan i have those texture warnings to !
I didnt make the avibitmapctrl code and dont have a clue about this.
I think it has something todo with the codec of the avi file.
But im not really shure so i can be really wrong here .

I used the testavi that came with the tutorial and that didn't work either.

Any help people?
