Custom video with editor ?

[Rougecorne]

Hello all

It's possible to insert custom video (.avi) in the editor ?
For exemple : The intro cinematic, and the ending cinematic.

Yes

you use GameMode.playVideo(filename)
where file name is the path inside your mod_asset folder to your video.
The video must be encoded with VP8 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP8) , the last time I checked the beta version of handbrake could encode into VP8 (see https://handbrake.fr)
Videos do not play inside the editor, if you want to play the videos from the original game you need to point to them (I don't know the filepath or filename)

if you leave GameMode.playVideo outside a function it will play when you start your dungeon from the game.
You can also nest GameMode.playVideo inside a function and call that if you want to play cutscenes during the gameplay itself, and you can call GameMode.completeGame(filename) for the ending.

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Wow, that's perfect !
Thank you !

I try that tonight

[Rougecorne]

Mmm, i try that but it's not work :/

I try with this script:

Code: Select all

function intromovie()
	GameMode.playVideo("Mon film2_Encode")
end

Mmm, i try that but it's not work :/

I try with this script:

Code: Select all

function intromovie()
	GameMode.playVideo("Mon film2_Encode")
end

do you get an errormessage?

So blind I would guess 2 things . First, grimrock do not like the SPACE and second, you have to add the file-extension (GameMode.playVideo("Mon film2_Encode.avi")).

[Rougecorne]

Mmm, it's not .avi, when i convert my video for VP8, i just have:

Monfilm2_Encode.fichier (In french ^^)

I encoded video with this website:

http://firefogg.org/make/index.html (You need Firefox). And then, i choose "WebM (VP8)".

[Rougecorne]

Mmm, i try to make "MonFilm2_Encode.WebM", but when i test in-game (not with the editor), i have this message:

MonFilm2_Encode.WebM : The file do not exist.

You need to type the path. ie: "mod_assets\cinematics\movie.avi"

[Rougecorne]

I have this message:

Invalid escape sequence near "mod_assets"

function intromovie()
GameMode.playVideo("mod_assets\cinematics\Monfilm2_Encode.avi")
end
