Hi there,

I got a problem with my videos. I have an avi intro video to play at the beginning of the game and in the project manager everything works fine. But when I compile my project and run it independently it doesn't find the avi anymore.

Here is something to look at:

The script that plays the video:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"

var NeuesSpiel=Scene.GetNode("NeuesSpiel");
var SpielLaden=Scene.GetNode("SpielLaden");
var Einstellungen=Scene.GetNode("Einstellungen");
var Credits=Scene.GetNode("Credits");
var Quit=Scene.GetNode("Quit");


// Neues Spiel beginnen.

on "LeftClick"
{
  NeuesSpiel.SetSprite("scenes\startmenu\anims\neuesspiel_chosen.sprite");
  Sleep(250);

  GameChapter=0;
  MoorLoch_BaumGeschuettelt=0;
  Intro_Running = 1;
 
  Game.PlayVideo("intro\intro_sound.avi");
  Game.ChangeScene("scenes\vordemapfelhaus\vordemapfelhaus.scene");
}



////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "RightClick"
{
  // walk to the desk
  Game.Interactive=false;
  actor.Talk("Wenn Du hier draufklickst kannst Du ein neues Spiel beginnen.","hauptmenue\neuesspiel.ogg");
  Game.Interactive=true;
}

The wme.log file content:

And here is a screenshot of my hierarchy in project manager:


Don't know what it could be.

You will need to put the video files separately, they must not be compiled inside wme packages. It's a known limitation, because wme is using the Windows AVI playback functions which cannot read files from within packages. You can change the extension of these files so that it's not that obvious they are videos.

That's lightspeed man !

I see, so I will change it and get it to work now.

Thanks a lot

Another thing ...

Would it work if I gave them the '.dcp' extension too ?

Or does that conflict with the engine ?

It should work. Although the engine will scan them at startup, it recognizes packages by file header, so it should ignore the videos. But it's possible you'll get some warnings in the log file, I'm not sure at the moment.
