can anyone tell me how to play a intro movie before the game starts?

Hi.

FORUM-SEARCH helps!

Look here

Greetings,
Can

i did forum search but all i found was load screen

when i start it i get a white screen and i can hear the voices from the movie
why do i get the white screen?

I did a search with option past 1 year for intro and found many.

I guess your movie has not the same codec which 3DGS uses for movie playback.

Not sure though.

not sure if itll help but on my site (its in my sig) i have a small demo file playing an avi movie in a few situations. I tryed my best to comment the code and it has helped a few others. I beleive its under tutorials. Hope it helps.

This is a question thats asked quite often and here is your answer:

---------------

String Intro_vid = <Intro.AVI>;
String Intro = <Intro.WMB>;

Function Main()
{
wait(1);
media_play(intro_vid,null,100);
while(media_playing(media_handle)) { if(key_space) { media_stop(media_handle); } wait(1); }
wait(1);
level_load(Intro);
wait(1);
}

You must have Commercial or Professional version I do believe for this particular script to work, not sure exactly but it works for sure.

and bitmap? how do i do that?
