Hi,
Ive been fiddling with the PlayVideo command and with .ogv video files. Ive been able to get the video to play when I press a button that has the proper script attached to it, and also I can successfully get the vid to automatically play when a player enters a room (before or after fade-in).
What Im wondering however is what could be done if I wanted a video .ogv to be playing (looped) constantly in the background, with gameplay still working "over" the video? Ive check-out the theora plugin + forum, but I have to admit Im not too sure how to get it done (sorry, I really did try). I tried Scotch's demo, and its pretty much what I would need to have...except instead of putting code in the room script, I would need to have it in the global script (Im guessing) since its for GUI background animation (when the inventory or Settings menu is opened, there is a background animation). Right now Im using animated views, but its pretty heavy since there are a lot of full-screen sprites looping.
Perhaps someone could walk me through it? It would be appreciated, Ive been stuck on this for a good week :(
It would be great if AGS supported video sprites as much without that plugin. I too have also tried using not with much luck. Hopefully Scotch is still around to help you out!
Serious? Aw crap!
Ok, Ill try to contact him then :) Ill still give another shot, Ill let you know if somehow I figure it out :P
