Hey just wondering,
how do i place a movie at the start of the game?
i want it to appear after you select new game.
If you know how to do this i would greatly apreciate it
Thanks
Adz.
There is no way to do this with eventing, so i can't help you there.
One workaround i see people do is put the movie at the beginning of the game when you start it, which would be much better anyways, most people watch those movies once(Unless they are particularly awesome) and then never look at it again.
thats what i meant i want it AFTER they select new game
anyone
You can do it with eventing, but it may look a little weird.
NO WAIT GOT IT
Make a map, go to the second layer, fill it with blank tiles. Chose a blank sprite for a hero and set position so the game doesn't bug you
As soon as the game starts - play movie.
The screen is black so a one second gap won't be much of a problem.
The other way is tinting the screen as the game starts but then the players will be able to see your map
<3 kitkat~
edit: If you didn't get what i said, tell me and i'll detail post~
MAJOREDIT
by the blank tile i dont mean the pink tile, sorry
I meant that black door type tile, which is in the second layer.
...
you know what i'm talking about right?
The other way is to make a 240x320 simple avi, but that might be going a little bit overboard, and it would have to be completely 256 colours anyhow :tpg:
Lolz thanks nightwold i got it now thanks alot.
All i wanted to do was put a short movie with a sound effect that says DIGITAL.media
i was thinking of kinda making a short movie in movie maker like 3.5 secs long and then converting it to avi would that work if i imported it?
nightwolf* ;-;
I'm not sure how to get an avi made, why don't you just download some really small avi..
;-;
lolz because i wanted a custom one XD
i know how to make avi's i just dont know how to make it auto play at the start of the game.
Dude, there's no way you can autoplay.
unless you know a lot of stuff
You either can do what I said or what kitty said
OR YOU CAN BE A COWARD AND SWITCH TO XP :V
lolz i would never use xp i HATE it!
N e ways ill test out both ways and see how they work out.
