I made a video for my game to use as the background,but i have no idea how to make that work? what format?, or maybe i have to take pictures of every frame and then do that? I'm just stuck thanks

Funny thing I've had fpsc for 5 years and i still don't know some of the basics of it

Hi Tyler Smith
Quote: "a video for my game to use as the background"
I take it your not referring to an "Intro" video, correct? In the syntax list there is an action called
"BACKDROPVIDEO=X. Description: This sets a video played in the background for out-of-game moments"
Example: :state=1:backdropvideo=backdrops\newgame.avi
I believe both avi & wmv's work. As I have never used this action before I am not sure if it works. Worth a try though
best luck

With my experiences backdropvideo doesn't work (at least in the latest v120).

But here, take a look a this thread, it uses individual frames to make an animated menu. Check out the second script as it has a looping menu.

Hope that helps,

That's awesome to hear. Out of curiosity, did backdropvideo work for you?
