(there was a thread talking about divx cinematics, but it seems to be gone now) what is the custom text code for playing a divx cinematic? all i find in the blizzard campaigns is "Enable <Race> Cinematic" |

Guest | With all the crazy things I try to do, I hate to be the one that says you can't do it, but I don't think it's possible. From what I've seen, WC3 cinematics are not FMVs at all, just characters moving around with a bit of camera work. Also, I'm pretty sure Blizzard didn't put Divx support into the game, so you'd have to convert them somehow, and even then, I don't know of any way that you could display them. Another thing, any movie more than a few seconds long would make the map file so huge it would take forever to load, and noone would want to play it. Theoretically, if you were the worlds best hacker, you could add support by modifying the DLL files or something, but if you were that good, you wouldn't be using WC3 to make your games. :) |

I guess what he means is playing CutScenes (not the Cinematic staff you can find in every map) an that's possible code: function Trig_X_Actions takes nothing returns nothing call CustomVictoryBJ( Player(0), false, false ) call PlayCinematic( "My Video" ) endfunction You can overwrite existing WC3 videos or use your own Videos and then play them after victory or defeat. |
