Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
Odd... my copy of WMP says it doens't have that codec, and the download site it directs me to is 404'ed. Where else could I find it?

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
for example here:

http://download.freenet.de/archiv_i/intel_indeo_videos_codecs_4369.html


#1. That site's in some language I can't read.

#2. It didn't work anyway. None of my codec packs seem to have that ****ing codec, or if they do, WMP, Quicktime, and MPEG Direct are too stupid to find them... :ick:

What version of WMP do you have? I have WMP 9.

Whatever version comes standard with Vista install nowadays (11?).

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
I'm still doing the fighters that emerge before and alongside the lucifer. Thus far I have a herc, a dragon and 2 ursas that fly out nicely. :) As for music - I've got that covered actually; Blackhole has offered to write some specially for the cutscene once the sequence has been finalised, so that will be awesome.

And nice work on the stuff we've seen so far Icey! :D

Curses!

The BP Menu theme would have made a great doomsday track. :D

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
I suggest a shorter sequence that does not repeat the Lucifer exiting the node, merely shows it exiting more slowly at different angles.  Follow this up with a camera view to the side tracking it until earth comes into view as it's clear heading.  Fade out.

Also, I would suggest music made specifically for the scene itself, but finding someone to do that might be hard.  =/

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
OMG :jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw:

THAT WAS AMAZING!

Just one little tweek - at the beginning add the location text

Like the onscreen text at the beginning of "Hallfight", FS2 intro and when we see the Riviera for the first time

should read somthing like:
"Vasuda Prime
19:00 hours"

I happen to think that the music really suits the situation...Watch the Babylon 5 episode "The Long Twilight Struggle" for the narn bombardment scene to see what i mean

It give's me the feelings of hoplessness and horror that this part of the storyline requires.:

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
as i would like to release a complete "patch" incl. new fc2-campaign-file and tblĀ“s i have one problem now:

i added the avi to the movies-folder
added an additional entry in the cutscenes.tbl with my file
edited the campaign-file

BUT:
the movie-list in the tech-room does not show the END-cutscene anymore.
which table says fsport how many scenes he has to show?!

EDIT:
oh dear....is it possible that the whole tstrings.tbl will have to be changed?!?!

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
AVI support is officially discontinued, just like D3D, so I'd get them converted to OGG before messing with the in-game implementation.  Especially if you're forced to re-write table files.

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
This time I watched it on Filefront rather than downloading it.

Wow... this really is amazing.  :eek:

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
It's awesome. :jaw:

But wasn't there a Shivan fleet in the CBAnim? :nervous:

And you still used too many jump in sequences for my taste. :nervous:

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
Not in the animation (which the final scene of the cutscene looks almost identical to), but the briefing does mention the fleet bombarding along with the Lucy.
