Cutscences

[basir.misaghi]

Hi. I'm fairly new to leadwerks game engine. I know really basic lua. I was wondering if there is any possible way of creating cutscences? and how?  Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure if you can play a video cut scene but you can make code to show one.  You can easily draw some black rectangles at the top and bottom of the screen to show that it is a cutscene (as I've seen some games do).  But the rest is up to your coding abilities.

Couple of threads that may help.

Thanks for your reply. I was Thinking isn't there any possible way of loading a new texture and showing it every single frame. so it makes a cutscence? 

[SpiderPig]

Yes you can do that.  I did that for some animated images.

When you say cutscene, do you mean playing a video/animated gif or an ingame animation/camera path?

[basir.misaghi]

I meant an animated gif or a movie, something like that.

I'm interested in this too, Could it be possible with Leadwerks to diffuse a video ingame like .mp4 ?

I imagine like you let it play a sound:

local video = Video:Load(path)

video:Play()

Could this be possible ?

I actually build a something like this for my own UI system, using the theora library and some old code I found in the forums. I wanted to put it to the marketplace actually, but it does not play audio yet, so you would need to play the audio externally with Sound:Play(). Also as far as I remember the quality was not that good, but maybe it was just because of the video conversion to ogg.

If there is a demand I may consider working on this again and bring it to the marketplace as part of the phodex framework
