Request - Moving Background for Video Intros


Cambridge Spy

Recommended Posts

I have decided that from now on, I should use a moving background in my intros for my Dark Mod videos, instead of just using a still logo image for a few seconds. I'm thinking maybe the city background which if I remember rightly is used in the intro for the William Steele mission "Home Again" will suffice. The intro will still have the same length of on-screen time before cutting to the game itself, but now with a bit more of a lively feel to it (b-roll) which should hopefully entice more viewers as opposed to just a boring on-screen image. Any way I can get this moving city background (aside from downloading Home Again and finding the relevant video file)? I want to start making Dark Mod videos again. Thanks.

You can specify translations within guis so that you get the appearence of a moving background, even though only still images are used. Many briefings use this approach.

If you need help with how to set this up or want a video and have some images to work with available I am happy to help.

      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)?

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