Ingame movie files

by Brendan Dillon · in Torque Game Engine · 08/19/2005 (5:00 am) · 5 replies

Hi

I'm trying to add some movie file to my game, there will be three in all, one at the start between the garage games splash screen and the main menu, one before the boss battle at the end and one after this battle.

I presume I'll need to make as special .gui file for the intro clip and two special .mis files to call the other two movie between levels

if someone could confirm or reject my persumsations you'ld say me a lot of time.

thanks

That's one way to do it, for sure.

Thanks Ben,



note:
in order to get the avi file working for thr intro clip I needed to do this fix:

I'm starting work on the other two in-game clips now

I can't seem to find a way to get the avi files to play between my missions, if anyone can help me out you'ld be saving my sanity!

Getting DirectPlay to play nice with GL/Torque is pretty tricky. 1.4 has a Theora playback implementation that works pretty well. You might want to try that when it comes out.

I have videos between some of my levels.
This how i do it for now.
I have a trigger on the map that send a command to server .
When the server get the command , the server sends to all client to exec a video script, when the
video script is done ,then i startup next level.
Hope it give you some direction.
Its not perfect but it works so far .
