Well yes, thats easy enough

then lets go ahead and get it into CVS.

I thought I might try and get it fully working first.
Also its not coded into fs2_open as such its in my own source code project . So I'd need to transfer it across.

But first I need to defrag my harddisc. Its 20% fragmented and its slowing everything down. Does anyone know of a good defragger for XP? I tryed to install Norton but all the scarey messages put me off.

Maybe post a copy of your code to this thread?

EDIT:
On binding to another window:
The trick to it is to set the new window you create to be a child window of the FS2 window.

Assume pVW is a pointer to the video window and hWnd is the window handle of the main FS2 window in the below example:

Code: [Select]


// Set video windows owner (i.e. who is the parent window?)
pVW->put_Owner((OAHWND)hWnd);

// Get the size of the Parent window
RECT vwrect;
GetClientRect(hWnd, &vwrect);

// Set the child to this exact position
// This appears to be done relative to the parent
pVW->SetWindowPosition(0,0, vwrect.right, vwrect.bottom);



This code should work well since the FS2_window doesn't need to dynamically resize itself and such.

EDIT 2:
And a final note, I made a very simple app a while ago with directshow and it plays avi's encoded with DivX perfectly provided you have the codec installed. Just add in some error checking in building the filter graph and such to avoid bad crashes.

Cool, that looks quite promising. I'll give it a shot and then post the code.

How 'bad' is a 'bad crash'?

That was already there

That didnt seem to have any effect

You should perhaps use GetClientRect in place of the Fullscreen functions to make fullscreen work (because it'll also then size down to a window). This stuff will only have an effect if you can grab the window handle of the Freespace window (which Im not entirely sure if it's totally global or not since FS2 = multithreaded)

[RandomTiger]

Uknown: If I remove the fullscreen code it simply doesnt go fullscreen at all.

I just tryed plugging the above code into a D3D8 sample.
When the movie was started from the app windowed the movie fills the screen. When the movie was started from the app in fullscreen the movie did not fill the screen but it didnt do any crazy switching either though.

Any thoughts?

[##UnknownPlayer##]

Do you think you could put this into the CVS with a specialized build option so I could have a play around with it?

As far as I know it should work with that method since I've got a demo app which does exactly that.

[RandomTiger]

OK, I think thats an idea since I've run out of ideas to fix my problems. Its got something to do with the type of window.

I will probably need someone to sort out the make file for me.

[RandomTiger]

I've just had a big breakthough, its not perfect now but acceptable. Still a bit of a switching problem but everything else works. Turns out I had to deactivate direct3D to allow it to play properly.

What I need now is:

1. fs2_open admin to get me write access to cvs again.
Apparently I dont have it any more!

2. Could my testers please check their e-mail.

3. Someone from the modding community or any developers to talk to me about how we are going to make the new video code work for the modders.

[Inquisitor]

Ahh, lemme check, somehow the writers file is getting over wrote

[RandomTiger]

Thanks Inquisitor but I was just being stupid thats all.

OK, I have committed my changes. To activate my changes use the new tag '-dshowvid'. This will allow FS2 to pick up videos of the (exact including mve extension) same name as on the CD but in your root freespace 2 dir. It will play MPG, AVI and DIVX and in theory anything else that you have a codec for (ie anything that can play through media player).

It cannot play mve files.

The catch? It has to switch out to video window and back in which is a bit messy. So if you are a coder take a look, perhaps you can fix it!

I dont understand make files so thats probably broken, sorry.

Anyone have any problems feel free to contact me.

[Kazan]

nice code

too bad it's completely useless for unix

[Inquisitor]

That's what the defines are for, till we get someone to pony up for the divx player on Unix.

Unix has other problems first though

[Kazan]

like fs2_open linux working

[Inquisitor]

Yup

[RandomTiger]

I could really do with some testers, people. See MOD forum for full details.

[tomcat]

what divx  player for linux? I just saw a  B5 ACTA -Divx in linux
mplayer is name of the game

[Kazan]

xine is better than mplayer

[Zarax]

Goody Good!!!!
Put it in FS2 OPEN!!!!!
It's the best way, you wouldn't have to be tied to a damned codec!!!!
And, if linux release has problems, then it will use another version or no video at all!!!!
For Windows there can be no other way...
Finally i will bring some DVD quality movies on FS2...
Sorry for the half flaming, but if Windows Media can be used, we will have superior quality with smaller size...
Could be a good way even for in-game audio...
Real CD quality a 192kbs...
