[Resolved in TDM 2.06] Briefing Missions Video Quality


Goldwell

Recommended Posts

Hey I just wanted to see if anyone is working on implementing video playback for briefing missions in TDM, I know we have ROQs but they are low quality and hard to create.

 

Is there a possibility of someone cresting code for an AVI or MP4 video playback for the briefing missions?

 

Also if no one is working on that I have a few friends who are programmers, what language is the dark mod programmed in? I could hand them the source code and ask them to make it perhaps they might help.

 

Thanks!

Agreed, ROQs are a pain. It would be great if you could find someone willing to look into it.

Good news!

 

My friend knows C++ and said he is going to look into it in a couple of days or so. Hopefully he can come up with a solution for us! *fingers crossed*

What codec would you use? Would you use H.264, or would you use Dirac? Apparently Theora isn't so good as far as file size is concerned. I guess you can always support multiple formats and just let the mapper decide.

Bad news :(

 

My friend told me he doesn't have time anymore and apparently wont for a while. Ugh that pisses me off :angry: but whatever!

 

Does anyone else know any programmers? or perhaps is there a site that has newbie coders looking to practice? I know the programming guys on TDM atm are completely burnt out and I understand that so if we are able to get someone else to help take pressure off them that would be great.

 

Does anyone here have any friends that are programmers and know C++? I really want this feature to be implemented

I see they have Bink working too. Why not port the stuff?

 

From what i've read Bink is great and simple to work with but it also costs money for licenses

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
