Replacing garageGames Screen with a Movie

by Chris · in Torque Game Engine · 06/13/2007 (9:47 pm) · 3 replies

Hi, My friend and I are working on a Game with torque 1.5.2 INDIE Licencse, And I Was Wondering how to replace the Garage Games Screen at startup, with a "Intro" Movie I made for the Game, the format is in .wmv, and we even tried converting it to a .gif, but it didnt work. Any Help at all would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Use the Theroa video support. You'll need to convert the video first.

Hi Chris,

Just as a side note, with an Indie license, it is a requirement to leave the GG logo on startup, but you can of course add your own to play afterwards (see www.garagegames.com/solutions/indievcommercial/)

Anyway, back to video playback - the GuiTheoraCtrl is what you are after, good overview on TDN here - tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/GUI/Video

Would we be able to get away with an animated GG movie that ended as the official logo in the SDK?

might be nice, but doubt it as they wont even let you change background colors or anything even if it is to fit the look and feel of the game.
