Hi, I'm a newbie in wintermute, and i'll wish know how to insert video at the startup of a game

I read some posts about this topic, but it didn't work for me . Is there any scriptsor tutorials available about this topic ?

Hi Chris,

this example have one videofile on startup, you can download it in this thread:

http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?topic=1021.0

i hope it helps,

videofiles are not compilied in wintermute, so you must insert the videofile in the packages folder manually, after compiling

Hi Rocco,

Thank you for your help, but nevertheless it didn't work. When the game start i have a black screen ( ~3 secunds) and i acces directly to the main menu without the video 

I have in the data folder the subfolder videos with two files (first_klein.avi and first.avi). In the packages folder after the compiling, i have 4 files (data / speech / game.exe / settings.exe) and 1 subfolder (videos) that contain 2 files (first.avi and first_klein.avi).

 Can you help me again, please 

I'm using a PIV 3.2 GHZ with WXP SP2 / ATI RADEON 9800 128 MO /

Is there an error message in the logs after you run the game? (They will be created in the games' dir after you run it in debug mode.)

[Rocco]

look in the game.script, there is one line
-> Game.PlayVideo("videos/first.avi", 1, 0, 0, false);

i have noticed that in the data/videos folder theres only a first_klein.avi

so you can either rename the file into first.avi or edit the code in the game.script
-> Game.PlayVideo("videos/first_klein.avi", 1, 0, 0, false);

if nothing helps, its maybe because of the wrong codec from this .avi.
try an *.avi which works with your normal windows media player or similar.
it must be in the videos folder and you must edit the code from the Game.PlayVideo("videos/yourfilename.avi",1,0,0,false);
this should work.

Thank you very much for your replies rocco and Ednorf !

Sorry for my very late reply, but i was very busy at the moment. I have succeed to play a video file at the start of my game project, thanks to a new video file that i created by blender. (The original file "first.avi", don't work for me. I think it might be a video codec probleme inside my computer)

I wish you the best wishes for Christmas and a happy new year !
