ZoomBoy27 Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 [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.

ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted December 23, 2006 ED Team Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah its possible. :) We were gonna do this with the BSO campaign. A few of my "never-used" cutscene videos for the BSO campaign are hosted on lockonskins.co.uk. *EDIT: here's the link: http://www.lockonskins.co.uk/linkcounter.php?LID=240 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page
VMFA117_Poko Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah! But how exacly we shall do that GA?
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted December 23, 2006 ED Team Posted December 23, 2006 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? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page
ZoomBoy27 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Posted December 26, 2006 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) ZoomBoy My Flight Sims Page - Link to My Blog - Sims and Things - DCS Stuff++ - Up-to-Speed Guides to the old Lockon A10A and Su-25T - Some missions [needs update]
