[edit] for some reason it timed-out on me.[/edit]

 

Is it possible to add movies to a campaign? For example, at the start of the campaign, the player is briefed on the theatre in an AVI. And before each mission he is briefed on the upcoming mission.

 

I've being playing around with "The Movies" for a while and you can create a briefing using a digital actor. He can lip-sync to whatever you speak and you can have maps in the background and in the front as well. There's a set of military uniforms as well including Soviet.

 

Here's a OT sample movie that I've made. Doesn't show the lipsyncing well. You can also render it much larger as well. I'm working on a briefing movie. Just need to get some background stuff and do the sound.

Hmm let me see how it was again...

 

I think it's as follows;

 

The video has to be Xvid format (or divx might work too maybe..)

The video have to be in the same folder as the campaign file.

 

To have an intro video play before a mission, call your mission "0", and name your video "0".

 

This way the video will play first, then the mission will come after.

To have a video come AFTER a mission, name it "1", and naturally, the next mission should be called "1" as well.

 

Now.. please correct me if im wrong, it's been well over 1 year since i played with this stuff, so anyone else know the PROPER trick here?

I've got a DivX formatted .MP4 file for the Initial briefing (12MB, 720x480)

When does it play - When I hit Fly?

Do I need to do it from the CAMP or can I just use the OPEN menu?

Anything special I need to add to the campaign?

 

===========

It's really cool watching the commander lip-sync the briefing.

 

Used the follwing for the Intro Briefing

"The Movies" - for the creation and editing of the movie

TrueSpace - for the creation of the Briefing Room Backdrop

Paintshop Pro - for labelling and marking the maps and backdrop

Audacity - for recording and editing the briefing

DDS Converter 2 - for converting briefing maps and Backdrops to .dds

SUPER - to convert .wmv to .MP4(DivX)
