Title: creating cutscenes question(s)
Post by: DDT on 15 Jul 2003, 05:27:45

I downloaded the cutscene  creator by messiah and i am wondering if it can be used in ofp 1.91.  And if so can somebody help me?  When i preview the mission it says that the script is not found.  Does anybody know what i am doing wrong.  Thanks

Well apparantly you don't have all the .sqs files in your mission folder which the mission is trying to execute. Hard to say because I have no clue at all.

The best way to learn about the cutscene creator by messiah, would be to either IM or E-MAIL him about it. He's still an active visitor here at OFPEC so I'm sure he'll answer to you.  :)

well... there is no script to download as such.... the camera.sqs script is inbuilt into the games engine itself....

all you do is place a unit and type in its init line: this exec "camera.sqs"

im sure ive made this all very clear in my tute... u need to know basic camera scripting before you use this...

Yea, dunno what your talking about there DDT.

I use the att. as my template, have this handy somewhere, and when you wanna create a cut-scene, place this in your user/mission/user mission folder, and do what massiah said.

Just look at the att. and see if you can figure it out for yourself ;)

Sorry messiah your right of course i was a little confused about what i was trying to get across.  I have some basic cutscene experience, but for some reason i just cant get it to work.  I like the script and somewhat understand it.  I dont mean to bother you but how else can i get help with this, other than just screwing around for hours.  I thank you for your time and if you could help me through the process is would be great.  Thanks

O Neil, you should really change the name of that to something else.
Like Messiah says, camera.sqs is a built-in script in the engine, and you don't need to have one in the mission folder for it to work.

Right, I see your point...OK, IGNORE MY CAMERA.SQS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE CONFUSED.

BTW, on the topic of cut-scenes, check out my cut-scene page, just got up and front page news ;) ;) ;)
