When you build your game, you can add your intro video by following these steps:
1. Create your video and place it in the FPS Creator\Files\Videobank folder.
2. Navigate where your build game folder is. Normally it will be in The Game Creators\FPS Creator\MyGames\<yourbuiltgamefolder>. Inside your built game, navigate to the \languagebank\english\gamebank\<yourgamename> folder. Inside this folder there will be your titlepage.fpi script, along with other fpi's for loading level(s), setuplevel.fpi, gamewon.fpi, and gameover.fpi.
3. Using notepad or FPI EditPad, add this line to your titlepage.fpi script:
:state=0:video=videobank\<yourvideo.extension>
So for example, I have this in my titlepage.fpi:
;AIScript from Wizard
;Header
desc = Title Page Wizard
;Script
:state=0:video=videobank\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_intro.wmv
:state=0:music=audiobank\ww2\music\l_briefing_1.wav
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=5.5,hudy=93,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_menu.tga,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=15.5,hudy=93,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_new.tga,hudtype=1,hudmake=button
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=25.5,hudy=93,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_load.tga,hudtype=2,hudmake=button
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=35.5,hudy=93,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_exit.tga,hudtype=5,hudmake=button
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimage=gamecore\huds\pointer.tga,hudmake=pointer
:state=0:state=2
:state=2:backdrop=gamecore\backdrops\ww2\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_title.jpg
:state=2,hudselectionmade=1:rpg_newgame,destroy
:state=2,hudselectionmade=5:quitgame,destroy
:state=2,hudselectionmade=2:loadgame
So by my example, you will see the video I am playing is ww2_bf_intro.wmv (first state=0 line of code).
4. If you want to do credits video at the end of the game, you can edit your gamewon.fpi and gameover.fpi to play a video. Here is an example from my game:
Gameover.fpi-
;AIScript from Wizard
;Header
desc = Game Over Page Wizard
;Script
:state=0:video=videobank\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_credits.wmv
:state=0:backdrop=gamecore\backdrops\ww2\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_gameover_background.jpg
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=0,hudy=0,hudimage=,hudmake=display
:state=0:timerstart,state=1
:state=1,timergreater=5000:destroy
Gamewon.fpi-
;AIScript from Wizard
;Header
desc = Game Won Page Wizard
;Script
:state=0:video=videobank\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_credits.wmv
:state=0:backdrop=gamecore\backdrops\ww2\ww2_bf\ww2_bf_gamecomplete_background.jpg
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimage=languagebank\english\gamecore\backdrops\basic\gamecomplete.tga,hudmake=display
:state=0:timerstart,state=1
:state=1,timergreater=5000:destroy
Hope that helps you.
