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

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
