So, what are you working on right now?

STRUNK, credit/blame for the idea of using the laptop is due to Dremple, who strictly speaking was just suggesting it as a way of testing your video in-game... probably found it amusingly anachronistic in the Doom3/TDM context. Maybe could use it in a Dr. Who/Time Lord episode?

All: As I build out wiki pages about in-game videos, I'll mention some of the ideas here: inventors guild, magic screens, windows, Prey-like portals. @Amadeus, I haven't done Prey, could you post a portal pix?

There have been a few posts on here about it in the past discussing it. It would be a neat feature, especially for mage towers, inventor guild rooms, etc. But these are what I mean:

Prey-like portals look more like a camera screen showing a different area of the map, while what Geep has been working on is how to play video files ingame on screens. It's certainly interesting, but not really related.

We kinda do the same thing with Mirror's.

Theoretically we could do portals that teleport instead of walking through them like in Prey.
Using a camera at a different location and bind it to a mirror that the player frobs to teleport would give that effect.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

@Geep

Nice : )

I have made transparent screens that could work as portals and such where the image comes from a camera, but it could be usefull maybe?



camerascreentransparent1
{
	qer_editorimage textures/editor/cameragui.tga
        nonsolid
        translucent
        noshadows
        

       {
		

		remoteRenderMap 232 232 // width / height of render image, ie resolution of screen
		red     Parm0 
		green   Parm1 
		blue    Parm2  		
                scale -1, -1
		translate -1, -1
		map "camerascreentransparent1"
                
                blend gl_dst_alpha, gl_one
		
                
	}
}

Thinking about portals? ;)

Nice. :-) One minor detail: there seem to be hidden white marble surfaces in the mesh, which means the model loads a material the map might not need. I suggest caulking those, then having the exporter (I assume this was made in DR) skip all the caulk surfaces; it should shave off unneeded geometry.

Some things I'm repeatedly thinking about...

Not sure I've got it ALL figured out, STRUNK, or ever will, but I beat on it with a stick for a while, so here's my findings on the wiki. Enjoy:

https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Full-Screen_Video_Cutscenes

That probably does it for what I'm adding to the wiki about video in the current cycle. Got some bits & pieces to add to other topics.

The "Movie Theatre Method" could I think be adapted to non-fullscreen video.  And see the other topic about "Playing ROQ Video Files" .

Really, there needs to be some current R&D using modern codec, and separate wiki writeup, by someone actively working that angle, and maybe covering magic mirrors, dioramas, portals. Not going there me-self.

Regarding STRUNK's comment about non-full screen video...

If anyone has access to circa-2006 3D Realms, it reportedly features a roadhouse with a TV showing several short videos, that loops overall. This mod forum post talks about editing the .gui and video .mtr to add additional video segments (called "channels" in the TV context), but is not self-explanatory without the original files:

Idea might be adaptable to TDM

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
