Video Playback-1.56-how to use it?

[Coffeecat 10]

i just wanna try the new feature. i downloaded the converter from the biki page

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialog_Control#Videos

converted it to ogv and put it in my mission folder.

this is in my desciption.ext:

class MyVideoExample { 
/* ... same as the picture example, with addition of */
text = "myVideo.ogv";
autoplay = 1;
loops = 10;
};

You may also need the 'style' setting?

Pretty f'n fantastic, though, if it works! :D

[Coffeecat 10]

ya works great! only bad thing is that you have to dl much larger files now. i personally dont care, since dsl 6000 is allready enough for me:)

Cool! Any chance of uploading a youtube of it working or something? :) Also - your final snippet that works? :)

[Coffeecat 10]

[Specialist 10]

the file is of course so big, cause of the video in it.

i converted it with the tool from the bohemia biki page in a bit higher quality

Just tried that example mission...

Not sure if the first line was related - hard to see in the .rpt.

Any ideas? :(

Hi

any idea whats the best free ogv convertor is ?

Theora Converter from http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialog_Control#Videos works quite fine here. It´s not the fancy tool, but if you survived virtual dub you´ll find this one comfortable aswell.

Here's one that I'm needing help on concerning video playback, and figured this is a good starting point.

A quick run-down on what I'm trying to do: When called up, a Lifepak heart monitor comes up, and when it does, a video that I made in Adobe After Effects of a heart rhythm plays behind the overlay (heart monitor).

I've held off asking this question to make sure I could read all of the documentation on BIS' wiki, on here, and all about dialog and button creation.

My code is listed below, when the player clicks on "Area 1" the video should play.

#define CT_STATIC		0
#define CT_BUTTON		1
#define ST_CENTER		0x02
#define ST_PICTURE		48
#define ST_BACKGROUND		80

class lp15 {
idd = 1;
movingEnable = false; 
onLoad = "";


class controlsBackground {
	class noartback{
			idc = -1; 
			type = CT_STATIC;
			style = ST_PICTURE;
			colorBackground[] = { };
			colorText[] = { };
			font = BitStream;
			sizeEx = 0.023;
			moving = true;
			x = -0.27; y = -0.4;
			w = 1.4; h = 1.75;
			text = "lp15\GUI\ekg1.paa";
		};

	class MyButton { 
			idc = -1; 
			type = CT_BUTTON; 
			style = ST_CENTER; 
			default = false; 
			font = Bitstream; 
			sizeEx = 0.03; 
			colorText[] = { 0, 0, 0, 1 }; 
			colorFocused[] = { 1, 0, 0, 0 }; // border color for focused state 
			colorDisabled[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // text color for disabled state 
			colorBackground[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; 
			colorBackgroundDisabled[] = { 1, 1, 1, 0.5 }; // background color for 

disabled state 
			colorBackgroundActive[] = {  1, 1, 1, 0 }; // background color for 

active state 
			offsetX = 0.003; offsetY = 0.003; 
			offsetPressedX = 0.002; offsetPressedY = 0.002;
			colorShadow[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; 
			colorBorder[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0}; 
			borderSize = 0; 
			soundEnter[] = { "", 0, 1 }; // no sound 
			soundPush[] = {}; 
			soundClick[] = { "", 0, 1 }; // 
			soundEscape[] = { "", 0, 1 }; //no sound 
			x = 0.769; y = 0.095; 
			w = 0.24; h = 0.25; 
			text = "Area 1";
			action = "["EKGvid.ogv",[-0.6,-0.5,2.2,2]] spawn bis_fnc_playVideo;  

waitUntil {scriptDone _video}";

		};

As always, any help would be appreciated and documented in the credits. Thanks

Also, can someone post a youtube vid or something of this working? :)

Coffeecat posted a working demo mission:

It worked for me :)

Video Playback is still lagging for me, even after the fix. Maybe its possible to take a look at it again? Its a really nice feature but if videos are not playing smooth its useless...

Is it possible that you could use this function to make a video run for a multiplayer intro instead of a basic moving cam script?

That's why I've been reading this thread ... .....
