Hello everyone,

I have a few questions to ask.

The first is, would it be possible to add ingame cinematics using perhaps the 3D engine(BSP) ?

Second question is, if ingame cinematics are possible, couldn't I use scripting type language like python ?
something like
load "intro.pyd" etc

Third and last question is, would I have to make models with all the animation sets, like walk,run,type on console. Then link it using python etc.

So any help or ideas are appreciated.

Yup thats possible.

Once u have the media in place to see visually.


You would want to make a camera system that plots the
waypoint co ordinates of the camera path and smooth transitions between them with sin and cos

u could use invisibile primitive cubes or store the 3d positions in space via an array which can be saved for ease.

You will want to establish a smooth camera speed also using a float in all movement updates

You want to have a camera pointing location so u can adjust this while in transit

You can use a hidden 3d primitive like a cube or store in an array or a variable.

You can read and write to files to save scripts
There are commands for this.

and using a small amount of code u could have a realtime camera plotter with a click on a button you could save your next waypoint location and another click save the path u made.


Afew people have written some open camera systems, not sure where they are tho.

To answer the last bit

You will need to reference your scripting language
to transpose the filename and object position so DB can know whats for use.

You will also need to transpose the animation keyframes and when to play and stop and so forth.

Its best to make one large animation with the sequences in some logical order and pointing DB to play the intended keyframes to save blinking of reloading.

Thanks for help guys
