Title: cutscenes again! sorry.
Post by: Gemmalah on Tue 30/09/2003 09:57:36
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' ;D

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.
