A Few Questions

by Zuero · in Torque Game Engine · 07/19/2008 (2:16 am) · 1 replies

Sorry for the many topics I have posted for help and before I get started on my question I would like to thank all those who helped me solve my problems in my past topics. Now I have a few questions:

1) Is it possible to make like an Intro movie or just a normal text intro through movie maker and implement it into Torque? If so can someone tell me how.

2) Is it possible to add cutscenes in certain parts of the Game (Like stuff that reveals more of the story)?

3) How do I put the ArcaneFX Action Bar that has all the spells into my game (Which I'm using the FPS Starter Kit)?

I think that's all the questions I have. But if I have anymore I will edit my post and add them.

By the way if you're wondering why I'm asking for intros and cutscenes is because I'm working on an RPG through the FPS Starter Kit. :)

1. TGE includes a theora format for videos so you just need a tool that will build/convert your vids into that format.

2. Yes indeed it is, the theora player is just an object like anything else within TGE so can be placed in a gui that you pop up on screen at any point during the gameplay.

As for AFX question, if you're developing an RPG as suggested then really I'd just start with the AFX codebase and add any of the FPS stuff to it that you require it'll be easier doing it that way than the other way around
