I need someone with coding skill to make those videos and sounds working.
Game takes them from:

Code: Select all

Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\movies

and

Code: Select all

Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\sounds\Voice\us

puts them together using function Dialogue in ScenarioFramework.lua

Only way how I got them working was putting my custom files into these folders.What I'd need is, to change that function so it also looks into map folder for there files. Or ofc any other solution you come up with.

I'm not sure how to do from your map, the only way I see to do it would be to hook ScenarioFramework.lua. That said, this is the code you would want to change:

It's actually under the function PlayDialogue, which Dialogue calls.
It's line 718 in ScenarioFramework, and you would want to replace where is says '/movies/' with your own file path.

i could give a long answer, best thing to do would be look at dms at the video parts. one function and a script file to rule them all.

look at the function in simsync called

Code: Select all

DoMFD

it doesnt look in the maps folder but it does look in all mod folders, take it and adjust the paths, map paths are mounted so you can call them directly /maps/mapname/folder/video.sfd .. its not as simple as that though because as you prolly know the sound is seperate to the video.
so you have to create a table with the video cue and sound files ect.. look in dms initialize.lua for how i populate the video tables from mod folders.

the code is not hard to understand.

Thank you Domino, I ll look at it.

A UEF scientist would fit soviet's voice, like Q is 007.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, already wiritng down some scripts...

[Domino]

hey,

im interested in what you did to achieve this from start to finish.

what have you done?

what tools are you using?

how did you place your units,

AI pathing?

scripting?

how are you populating the save file?

[Domino]

a few things to note here is that if:

seeing as your doing everything manually (cause i cant think of you doing any other way)

why not use my editor for unit placement/orientation initial setup.

infact i would be really "REALLY" impressed if you created a mini mission using the current version of the editor, a mission something similar to the fa tutorial, it excites me you have gotten this far and also that someone is trying/doing something constructive regarding our own scenario's, you just need to simplify your tecniques a little to make it easier for yourself.

Im using map editor to place units, markers, create marker chains and then writing script to make everything move. More like copy pasting from FA missions and altering to my names, values.
I was like studying script files of FA missions for a week and then started to create this.

Yeah your editor, I need to make it work somehow last time I tried it, it didnt work. Or I was dumb to make it work.

Btw. what file should I look at? excatly? I didnt find it
