Animated briefings

[Törni 0]

Some missions have animated map briefings. How they have been made?

So far I know how to make a basic briefing with html-files

How do you mean, its hard to tell what you want without an explantion..

MP/SP?

In the Briefing Screen? Intro to the mission? What?? ?? ??

I mean SP missions in which use animated map symbols.

Zooming and panning map etc.

Think he means something like this:

forceMap true

~1

mapAnimClear

mapAnimAdd [1, .2, [(getpos player select 0),(getpos player select 1)]]

mapAnimCommit

@MapAnimDone

forceMap false

Briefings can include images, but they use .swf files? I guess not.

Btw. Will movie clips be supported in briefing files or is it intended anyway ?

May have been asked before but didn't get a search result on it....

Think it would encourage for more developed briefing editing.

No, there is no other media support than for images and sound I´m afraid.

I put it in as a suggestion years ago and alread have added it to the wishlist a while ago, but unfortunally the wish wasn´t heard.

I also opted for a media texture ingame, so we could create video overlays for TV sets, HUD objects and/or media briefings ingame.

Even accessing a second viewport (picture in picture) would come in very handy for several things like mirrors, HUD´s, target cams , security monitors, etc, etc.

Unfortunally noone from BIS really reacted on those suggestions or gave a comment.

Still I see a lot of use for such.

How do you add sound to a briefing, i want to narrate my briefing..

I know how to add sounds and music to the game just not the briefing?
