Does anyone know how to link in a FMV sequence to coincide with the end of a level?If so, will this only work the BIK files of the later TRs? if not, will there plans to release an update that allows them to be added to our games? IP: Logged |

There must be some way to do it if they haven't modified the level editor much? There's a lot of stuff in the editor manual which has the words "Not Used" printed after it, one of them must be for FMV's. There's even a special trigger called "Cut-Scene".IP: Logged |

Since the FMV only happens either before or after a level, never in the middle, the level editor probably hasn't got anything to do with them. I'd imagine that the fmv is inserted via a few lines of code that execute after you finish a level, wheras cutcenes happen mid-level, and need to be triggered by the editor. I could be wrong on all of this mind, it's just a guess.
If someone can figure out how to link the cutscene trigger to a cutscene, then it may still work, or then again, core might have disabled the feature, but you can set a trigger as a cutscene trigger, so it may still work.
It's possible that all you need to do is put the cutscene in the correct directory (have a look at TR:LR for the directory) and put the name of the scene in the box in the trigger dialog that comes just after the 'trigger' box.
All speculation...

You actually need some lines of 'code' in the script.txt file and the FMV would have to be in the right format....I'll see what I can find out. You can sort of 'fake it' by using the fly-by camera...maybe create a .wav file for some background dialogue.... IP: Logged |
