Playback of video on side of DIF building?
by Tim Betts · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 10/27/2005 (10:29 am) · 17 replies
Not sure if this is the right forum or not. I'm an owner of TSE naturally. Is there anything built-in or a resource that I could port that would allow me to play a video on the side of a DIF interior? For instance, I create a building in Cartography Shop or whatever and import into Torque, then render an animation in some format or as a sequence of individual frames, then instruct Torque to playback my video on a particular side of the building/brush/polygon. I'm sure this is possible, but is there anything out there or built-in to get me started?

I got something working in about 10 minutes in TGE using a little code from the Guitheoractrl and an fxrenderobject as the screen.Nice effect in game :) - 13 MB example in mpeg encoding video is a clip from megadeth (c) Capitol Records

@David - That map looks *very* familiar. :) Looks really good.
I don't know how well something like my hack for GUI controls on surfaces would work with video as it doesn't care about the timing of frames or anything like that. Plus it was done for TSE only.

Doesn't the new Theora video support work for stuff like this? I wasn't sure because I haven't tried it out yet...

Would you consider letting us know how you pulled this off? The video was awesome by the way. I have been playing with the fxRenderObject but for some reason I can't get it to work. The guiTheoraCtrl works fine. You said you had it working in about 10 minutes....man...I have been trying to make this $%@# thing work for two days. I am sure it is probably something simple I missed and I'll feel like an idiot when I can get it figured out. :)
Thanks..
