cutscenes again! sorry.

[Gemmalah]

i have red the manual and i can't find what i need.
if i just need to search under something else just tell me and i'll read it again.

I do not want to just control the charctor in the background.

i want to put a company logo and animation but i can only make gifs. is there a way of importing lots and lots of bmps and turning them into an animation?

or perhaps is there a free programme availibe that will turn BMPs into the format i require for cutscenes, the computer i animate on is not connected to the internet, i use a floppy to transfer.

* on a side note, is there a way of getting the game to show all speech in one file so i can record it all, or do i have to do that myself?
thanks a bunch.

You could make it a flic animation, but if it is just the logo, you can make it an animated object. Study the SetObjectView and AnimateObject commands for some directions. (Sorry, in a lazy mood...).

If your animation is too long, I say go for flic. The RAD video tools should be able to convert your images to flic... I just can't remember the link to them...

And btw. it's 'read', not 'red'... but pronounced as 'red'

you go to the sprite manager, and import all of your pictures, you can even do a tiled import of all your images together.

then you go to views and set up your animation there.  you dont make your animations outside of ags.
