Videos before a mission

[JG52_cule]

I have just created a map, and i also have a video (like the strategic.avi in men of war missions) which should appear at the start of the mission. I have tried putting a interface.set archive in the map folder, etc, etc and it hoesn't work.

Do any of you know how to enable videos at the start of missions?

Thanks,

thats something you should ask on either mow or mowas modding forums, i am sure things like this were discussed on mow forums here at dms under modding section.

Put your video in resource\video\mission\single\yourmissionpath

Then in the 0.mi file create a trigger with a command like this:

					{"scenario"
						{message
							{text ""}
							{video "nameofthevideowithoutextension"}
						}
						{camera
							{smooth_begin 0}
							{smooth_end 0}
						}
						{quant_mode disable}
					}

In case this question is still open:
use the trigger Scene->Scenario, type in the name of the video (without .avi) under video.
Then you place the video here:
*yourmod*/resource/video/mission/single/*yourcampaign*/*yourmap*

I don't know how to make it so the videos are played BEFORE loading the mission. Something to note, it doesn't work in Coop as far as I know.

yes, I did try that, but it still didn't work.

thank you for your interest anyway.

I did it myself for one of my missions, if you have it in the correct path and if the video is in the correct .avi format it will work. Post your video/mission path here, maybe there is something wrong with it.
