Movie Script, Sound Spawn script Options

[kurosaki_daniel]

Make file called Movies in <Mydocuments>/<RMXP or RMVX>/<your project>/Movies
ie subdirectory (yourgame\data, yourgame\graphics, yourgame\movies <-put mpg files here)


i dont understand this part what kind of file must i make and where must i place the file please tell me.

[Yanazake]

it is saying for you to use MPG files... I'm not sure, but I think it should accept AVI also. There is a limitation about the size. It must be the same resolution of RMXP game window.

Also, you must put the movies in a folder called "movies" on the main folder of your game. In other words, the one that have the "Data", "graphics" and other folders with the game content.

Can you upload a demo ?

[modern-day-pirat...]

Could we possibly get a demo of this in action?
I want to see it working before attempting it myself.

[pannawat]

Can you guide me to edit Graphics.resize_screen? I used 640x480 Video in VX but when it played , it lose Right and Bottom of video screen , I tried Free Video Converter as you suggested but I can't find 544x416 Resolution , So I think only choice is have to edit Graphics.resize_screen , But I don't know how to do it.. Can you please tell me how to do?

Thank

Ok... There haven't been any posts in this topic since September... But I'm really having some trouble, some help would be nice...
I am using Windows XP and RMVX
I have my 'Main' set up as follows:

CODE

begin
  Graphics.freeze
  Audio.bgm_play("Movies/" + '01_Opening_Montage', 100, 100)
  Audio.bgm_stop
  $scene = Scene_Movie.close_scene      #closes active movie window
  $scene = Scene_Movie.new("01_Opening_Montage")
  $scene = Scene_Cctitle.new
  $scene.main while $scene != nil
  Graphics.transition(30)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
  print("Unable to find file #{filename}.")
end

Yes, I have my Title Screen set up as 'Scene_Cctitle', so as to avoid compatibilty issues with other scripts I'm using(But that part works fine...)
When I start up the game the movie(It might be a problem with the movie itself) just doesn't play...
I edited the movie script a bit:

[Show/Hide] Scene_Movie

CODE

class Scene_Movie
def initialize(movie)
   @readini = Win32API.new 'kernel32', 'GetPrivateProfileStringA', %w(p p p p l p), 'l'
   @movie_name = Dir.getwd()+"\\Movies\\"+movie+".mpg"
   main
end

def main

   game_name = "\0" * 256
   @readini.call('Game','Title','',game_name,255,".\\Game.ini")
   game_name.delete!("\0")
   @wnd = Win32API.new('user32','FindWindowEx','%w(l,l,p,p)','L')
   @temp = @wnd.call(0,0,nil,game_name).to_s
   movie = Win32API.new('winmm','mciSendString','%w(p,p,l,l)','V')
   movie.call("open \""+@movie_name+"\" alias FILE style 1073741824 parent " + @temp.to_s,0,0,0)
   @message = Win32API.new('user32','SendMessage','%w(l,l,l,l)','V')
    
   @detector = Win32API.new('user32','GetSystemMetrics','%w(l)','L')
   @width = @detector.call(0)
   if @width == 544
     fullscreen
     Graphics.update
     sleep(1)
     Graphics.update
     sleep(1)
     Graphics.update
     sleep(1)
   end
  
   status = " " * 255
   movie.call("play FILE",0,0,0)
   loop do
    sleep(0.1)
#    @message.call(@temp.to_i,11,0,0)     #Remove '#' if using RMXP
#    Graphics.update                      #Remove '#' if using RMXP
    @message.call(@temp.to_i,11,1,0)
    Input.update
    movie.call("status FILE mode",status,255,0)
    true_status = status.unpack("aaaa")
    if true_status.to_s != "play"
      break
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)           #can change or add Input::C
      Input.update
      break
    end
   end
   movie.call("close FILE",0,0,0)
   bail
end

def bail
   if @width == 544
     fullscreen
   end
  end
end

def fullscreen()

$full.call(18,0,0,0)
$full.call(13,0,0,0)
$full.call(18,0,2,0)
$full.call(13,0,2,0)
end
$full = Win32API.new('user32','keybd_event','%w(l,l,l,l)','')

def close_scene
  $keybd = Win32API.new ('user32.dll', 'keybd_event', ['i', 'i', 'l', 'l'], 'v')
  $keybd.call 0xA4, 0, 0, 0
  $keybd.call 0x73, 0, 0, 0
  $keybd.call 0x73, 0, 2, 0
  $keybd.call 0xA4, 0, 2, 0
end

Thanks!
Also, it might help to put this in the RGSS2 Section because from what I've gathered, it works for VX too

Hi i did everything (hopefully) as i should i copied the script into Scene_Movie i then called it using the event script, but its doing nothing except make my character and other animations really slow can anybody help???

[Luxofgames]

Ok managed to get it working, well kind of, i managed to get the second window to open but it closed immediatly , so i deleted the lines
Audio.bgm_stop
$scene = Scene_movie.close("Movie")

i cant understand why i cant lay movie

it always says file(eval):2in bgm_play movies/movie not found
please help

[buny]

can we do it in cut scene?????
and please DEMO plzzz....
and i suggest better using XILISOFT any converter ^^

[Dragon-boy]

k i did everything and i am getting this response " Script 'Scene_Movie' line 15: SyntaxError occurred"

and some if you could put a demo plz and thank you

[Frieza2000]

I've been meaning to do this since...last year, when I figured it out, but here's a working demo.  Scene_Movie_Demo.zip ( 1.82MB ) Number of downloads: 182
This script supposedly supports avi files, and I've gotten them to kind of play, but not as well as this mpg.

I also figured out how to play them in battle. Use this script as your common event:

temp = $scene
Audio.bgs_play('Graphics/Movies/' +
'Inferno Punch', 100, 100)
Audio.bgs_stop
$scene = Scene_Movie.close_scene
$scene=Scene_Movie.new(
"Inferno Punch")
$scene = temp

The only problem is that common events are processed after damage is dealt, so the enemy dies before the movie plays. I haven't gone in and edited the standard scripts to change that yet, but hopefully you can figure that out.

Also, the guy who recommended XILISOFT? THANK YOU!!!
