Okay, guys, here is my problem: I would love to use cutscenes in my missions, but I am facing two serious issues.
Number 1:
Because cap ships are so slow I am using following sexp to make 'em move a little bit faster:
every-time
<
mission time
18
set-object-position
object-name
x
y
+
get-object-z
object-name
8
Now, on low end systems the frame rate goes down, ships slow down. But: the time doesn't slow down at the same rate, so all timing goes wrong. Disabling vsync has a reverse effect, although not to such extent.
Actually same happens when recording a video sequence with FRAPS.
I've tried using a special ships.tbl entry with velocity of 400.0 and acceleration delay 0.0, but same story here.
I think I could built a few safe-guards that would prevent some of the problems I face here, but not all.
Some of the cutscenes could be recorded of course, but I'd have to avoid using cutscenes during a mission. At least not with capital ships, that suck a lot of ressources.
Number 2:
Subtitles positions are absolute. This means, that increasing resolution (default is 1024*768) means, that subtitles appear out of place (further to the left and upper corner of the screen)
