Hello World!

Sorry for ask this again, but I want to show a video in a TV shape as a texture, I'm making a TV model to play a video inside.

actually I have used theora video in a GuiTheoraCtrl, but please, if somebody knows how to integrate theora video in the game scene, please help me with code/advice/resources or anything.

thx XD!

OK, i'm using that resource without recompile the engine, but I get the following errors:

editor/newObject.cs (0): Unable to instantiate non-conobject class fxVideoRenderObject.

demo/data/missions/fps.mis (0): Unable to instantiate non-conobject class fxVideoRenderObject.

is present the fxVideoRenderObject in torque 1.4 demo?

You must add it to the engine and recompile it , the fxVideoRenderObject is not part of the 1.4 demo default .

And a videorenderobject it probably wont work in 1.4 without some code changes as the way that console objects are registered has changed.

But, if garagegames announce that Torque now comes with theora support for GUI and shapes

why do I have to add it to the engine?

would be nice to be integrated into the SDK.

It is integrated. Just not in the manner the resource integrates it.

EDIT: Oops. That resource is for 1.3. I was thinking it was a renderobject extension to 1.4.
