Title: Enabling cenematics in SCP
Post by: Dustmuffins on June 24, 2005, 04:50:50 pm

Hey! I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be posting this, but it there a way to enable cinematics in FS2 open? when I play it, I don't get the cenematics in play, and is really pooping on the story for me.

Also, you may be interested that I am attempting to get a bunch of gamers that play Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries into FS2. Alot of them seem really interested.

We are a league that plays a 2000 era game and we are making mods to revive the game as well, so I see a lot of parallels. thx!

P.S. if you want to check us out, head to Netbattletech.com, click on the hardcore league, then click HPG uplink (Forums)

I am assuming that you put these in your default fs2 directory?

I cannot download thumbs.db, it says I am forbiddden, can you send me a mirror? thx!

You don't need thumbs.db.  It's a windows generated preview file IIRC, it is in no way used by or needed for FS2.

The cutscenes will not display with FS2_Open 3.6.5 due to a bug in that particular build. Anything newer than that in the recent builds forum should work.

Someone should sticky a blazing "LOOK HERE TO GET CUTSCENES WORKING" at the top of the SCP forum, imo.
Anyway, they're avis, you should be able to play them with the latest version of WMP, update it if you have to.

Do a google search for a codec pack then - I'm not sure which one you need though.
Try this?

(This looks like it has more)

You need the Divx Codex.

You need the Divx (And XVid for FS1) codecs.

The link Phreak posted should explain everything.

Tried the Divx, and got nothing. They won't work in game ethier. I'll uninstall all codecs, and reinstall the important ones.

Those codec packs I directed you to also include the DivX codecs.
