I want to make a cinema-room soon. But what is a cinema without movies, i asked myself?  I tried a testroom already, putting an animated object with frames of a movie in it. But object animations are limited and it's hard to do it frame by frame, too.
I don't want to use PlayMovie, because it's Fullscreen only.


So, do you know of a plugin that displays movies in the background? Is it possible to make one?
Do you know of a tool/plugin that, lets say, converts a movie into an ags-readable file from which you can f.e. use raw-draw-image or so?

I hope I made it understandable. I think this would be very useful since there are many possibilties, like computers, cinemas, televisions, other animations... that could use this. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to show "Lord of the Rings " in this cinema, but like a little 100*60 screen (or even smaller) with a small movie of lets say 60 seconds film or so. I'm not so familiar with formats yet, but one could resize the movie/reduce quality in another program...

Anyone else who thinks this is useful, please post your suggestions here...

Maybe I should post a "suggestion: avi's in rooms" No i better don't :-)

Hello,

I was wondering if i can send a variable to a website.
The Player of my Game would get the ability to send his/her score to my homepage, where it is saved in a txt./html./etc. file or something.

So here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to send something to the net via AGS?
2. If not can i do a workaround? F.e. using the tcp/ip plugin? (no idea if this could work, maybe someone can tell me)
3. If both, 1 and 2, dont work, can i make a bat. file or something similar build up
like this:    start ags-ags outputs variable-variable is send to the web?

I havent found any threads like this yet, maybe other people have thought of this already, maybe its useful for some games. In any case it would be a nice feature. What do you think. Can anybody help. Thank you *Menaze*


edit:
in case this works i have another question:
can i read a variable FROM the website and display it in my AGS game?
