TGEA 1.07 - Theora?
by Adam Beer · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/06/2008 (6:34 pm) · 5 replies
Will theora be implemented into TGEA any time soon? It is a pretty important feature and should be among the 99% of features that was supposed to be ported to TGE.

- It is a listed feature in TGEA v1.0 but was not a part of v1.0 or any later version.

// small sad story surrounding the 'theora tgea perplexity':
About 1 year ago, I had questioned "advertised but missing features". I was approached by a staff member and told that if I persisted in asking these questions, I would be banned. (the questions were genuine and I could not comprehend the anger in the staff member replies). - The thread was later locked because the staff member was losing the debate in terrible fashion and he had no other form of retaliation in the discussion pertaining to my original questions OR the question of why I would be banned for asking such genuine questions.
Very odd really.
I found all of this astonishing. Seriously astonishing. ...a paying customer, myself, had been personally attacked, horribly harassed and treated like a 10 year old for no reason. *shrugs*

I hope this will be working in the next release.- It is a listed feature in TGEA v1.0 but was not a part of v1.0 or any later version.

I actually hope that it is componentized so that it is easier to work in other video subsystems, codecs, or wrappers. Theora was a good cross-platform solution, but has proven somewhat difficult to work with for new initiates to the video world (actually, most formats are difficult to new initiates since there are a ton of preconceived notions between those viewing video that are transplanted into the video production process with little successful cross-over).

I remember those discussions, which were heated on both sides, filled with expectations and recanting of promises versus projections and cut features. Not necessarily the most interesting of times, though definitely heated.I actually hope that it is componentized so that it is easier to work in other video subsystems, codecs, or wrappers.

So I guess the code is in 1.7.0 final as well.
