Glad everything compiled... ok just for the video "background" that plays while in the menu ( not a splash video )
make sure your "titlepage.fpi" has this line :state=0:backdropvideo=gamecore\backdrops\DarkCity\backdrop2.wmv,state=2
This is mine, again ignore the top lines and state=2 with the "splash" video commands....
:state=0:makesvar=playsplash 0 splash,readsetupline=playsplash splash,savesvars
:state=0,svarequal=playsplash 0:video=videobank\splash.avi
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=15,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\Dark City\title.tga,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=45,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\Dark City\newgame.tga,hudtype=1,hudmake=button
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=60,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\Dark City\loadgame.tga,hudtype=2,hudmake=button
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=75,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\Dark City\exitgame.tga,hudtype=5,hudmake=button
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimage=gamecore\huds\DarkCity\pointer4.dds,hudmake=pointer
:state=0:backdropvideo=gamecore\backdrops\DarkCity\backdrop2.wmv,state=2
:state=2,hudselectionmade=1:passtosetup=splash 1,destroy
:state=2,hudselectionmade=5:quitgame,destroy
:state=2,hudselectionmade=2:passtosetup=splash 1,loadgame
Now make sure the "background" video is placed in the gamecore\backdrops\DarkCity folder.
Video wont compress or carry over when doing a final build, so it's best to wait, do a build, then add the videos to the
proper folder when all is finished and you know everything else is ok.
That's it. It should now play when you call for the menu. Do you still have the backdrop2.wmv file ?
My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
Lots and lots of random features...
