Make animated Titles for missions?

[igneous01 19]

I noticed this when playing first mission of PMC, the ION part was very nice touch, i kind of want to do the same, but add more of a liquid fade in. Though im not sure if its possible or if it has to be done in other software.

Can I do something similar with parseText? it seems i can only get it to work on hints, not on titletext.

If you unpbo missions_pmc_data (out of the commons folder), you will find a bunch of paa files. Assuming you have the paa viewer installed, you can look at the ui_ion* images to get an idea of how they did that. In that first mission, it's called like this:

_logo = [] call bis_pmc_fnc_missionLogo;
waituntil {scriptdone _logo};

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that bis_pmc_fnc_missionLogo is customized to only use images out of missions_pmc_data.pbo. The good news is that you could copy the function they used (get it this way http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_help). In the functions viewer, it's listed under configFile->BIS_PMC->bis_pmc_fnc_missionLogo. This way you could custom tailor it for your images, and make other modifications. I have no clue how to make a liquid fade in, but then graphic arts was never my specialty.

thanks alot az, i tried searching for something like it under the functions, but i was thinking it was more in lines of dynamictitle or something. thanks

and yea, i was kind of hoping that the function would offer a few preset animations to fill in. Im no good at making that kind of stuff myself :S

will have to try it out then
