Compositing Movies/FMVs in TGB GUI

by Steven Herrnstadt · in Torque Game Builder · 03/14/2007 (10:52 pm) · 4 replies

Our team would like to use some kind of movie file in the background of our title screen GUI. We also need to be able to load a movie file intro-sequence from the Title Screen GUI and have it play, then after it is done playing, load the beginning of the game.

Does anyone know how this would work in TGB, or perhaps TGB Pro? If it's not an option, then what are the other options to achieve an animated look in the GUI editor?

Thank You

@Steven, there is the Theora GUI Control, which supports video playback using the Theora Codec -- take a look at that as an option ... if it's not a feasible option, there are some AVI related resources floating around, though they may be out of date --

Thanks David, but that seems to go over Theora in TGE, will the same work in TGB or would we need to have TGB Pro to edit the source?

@Steven, you, along with a number of other people who have asked similar questions seem to think that the Theora control is 'TGE specific' ...

Let me clarify --

1) Theora Control is in the GUI Control Drop Down in TGB GUI Editor
2) Theora Control is in the GUI Control Drop Down in TGE GUI Editor

Sorry about that, but thanks for clarifying.
