Re: My First FRED2 Cutscene
what can be done? the large letters?

Why do people allways give me half-complete answers???

Calm down. It can be done with the most basic Scripting option.

Ships limit number, events limit number.... any idea of the waypoints limit number? is anybody interested in increasing it? this because it's not nice to be halfway through a cutscene (fredding job, obviously) and read the message "fred has reached the maximum object number" (or something like this)..... :hopping:

Even Italians have limits.

Fortunately, seems that the maximum number of ships has been increased. This is nice, I will no longer have to go crazy with coordinate manipulations and subspace effects! :yes:

Ship-create sexp... in cutscenes it's easier, because you're sure the player won't see the appearing ship.

I avoid using that unless it's absolutely necessary. It doesn't seem to be entirely stable and crashes the game occasionally (maybe 10% of the time, but the chances go up if you're using it many times).

Re: My First FRED2 Cutscene
What about show-subtitle? And then the image? I haven't tried it, but I guess it should work.

Re: My First FRED2 Cutscene
I thought you were refering to JAD 3's big subtitles-based effects. They can be done with scripting.
