What do you mean by video? an in-game cinematic? an in-game cinematic like arthas VS illidan? an out-of game video? (eg: grom and trall VS manaroth) |

Not with so much details but like Arthas vs Illidan |

If it's a 'real' video, and not a trigger cinematic map, do this: 1. The movie must be of the format .avi. Let's say that the movie you want to use is called movie.avi. 2. Rename the file, so the extension is .mpq instead of .avi. 3. Copy the file to the Movies folder in the wc3 directory. 4. Use this native to start the movie: JASS:native PlayCinematic string movieName nothing Trigger: Actions![]() Custom script: call PlayCinematic("Movie.mpq") |

like video I mean. |

I am also curious. Remember that little skirmish Illidan and Arthas had in the end of FT? It was not a usual warcraft movie thing. Rather, it looked a lot like a triggered wc3 engine movie, but was more detailed. Anyone knows how they did it? |

Time_Waster: Use the edit button next time. Then you will probably need to make it inside the map as a triggered cinematic. |

I want only to know how to make dialog...I think that's not as complicated as Illidan vs artthas, isn't it?.. ![]() |

Ah... I see thanks Blade! ![]() |

its an in-game cinematic, as far as i understand it. yet its just a really complex model with cameras. |
| 01-26-2006, 05:21 PM | #13 |
Hmmm, than these really complex models should be somehow accessible through editor no? Or is it archived in the last FT map only, and not in general wc3 mpq's? |
| 01-26-2006, 05:27 PM | #14 |
It is in one of the mpqs, but I guess it is hidden in WE. If you can find the path, you should be able to use it. |

as i understand it, the whole fight scene is just one model. (whcih would make it generally useless in modding / map making) |
