Problems with ags_theora-Plugin

[guitar_hero]

Hi folks!

I've got a problem setting up the ags_theora-Plugin. I copied the code from this thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34910.0 and tried to make it work in my game but I can't get no video to appear. I have the plugin placed in the right folder and it's active, the vid I want to play is in the "compiled" - folder. The size of the vid does not fill the whole background but that should be ok.

I wonder if anyone could give me a walkthrough for working with the plugin. I'm not quite sure how to tell the game the coordinates for the vid either but first step would be playing the vid at all. Thanks!

For specific questions about a plugin, you may have them better answered by posting in the plugin's own thread.

However, since native OGG Theora support (just use PlayVideo() ) was added since V3.1.1, this plugin is not needed anymore. So, unless you're still using an old version of the engine, you should try out PlayVideo() instead.

I tried PlayVideo() but it stops the game. I need the game to continue while it's playing the vid. I don't want to make a cutscene, I want to have the vid playing in the left half of the game window but the player should still be able to interact with the scene in the right half of the game window. Any ideas?

OT: Oh, I'm sorry! Since I'm a Beginner I thought this would be rather basic so I posted here, but of course you're right. The Plugin Thread would have been a better choice for putting this. Can a Mod change that, please?
