AVI's in torque?

by James Dean · in Technical Issues · 10/13/2002 (10:52 am) · 2 replies

Can anyone tell me how to put a small avi file such as a company logo(around 500kbs) into the torque game engine so it would display before the title screen?

hello warner.

there are probably several ways to go about this, our team has been working on one for a while. a description of our work can be found here.

torque has a movie player it inherited from the tribes 2 engine it is currently broken. several threads discuss this functionality.

good luck.

The GUI which is displayed initially is the StartUpGui.

There is a win32-only AVI playback snippit. If the animation is short enough, you might be able to get away with just displaying a sequence of images (which would be simple to implement and cross platform).
