Hi guys! I think I know how you can do some true cutscenes! heres how you would do it....

first you would have to have a cutscene editor to tell each cutscene what animations to use and what number each scene was,
then you could save the file from the cutscene editor as the *.bak file thats in the data folder or what ever,
then you could make sure that the wad you where using had the speech heads that you needed, and then you return to the cutscene editor and make the coordinates that you would like the cutscene to go in the level..save your work and then in the level editor place a cutscene trigger and tell it what number to use.. after converting your level and stepping on the cutscene trigger the screen will fade to black and the cutscene will start! remember if a cutscene object is stuck in a wall or has wacko animations just test and ajust!

go ahead test is out

No, but this is how Eidos/core do it, do you have a cutscene editor?

Disco-fever, I doubt, that someone here has the Core's cutscene editor
The simplest cutscene, we can make (and which is made in COTW), is to create a fly-by, with a custom audio file on background, where someone talks to Lara, or Lara is talking to someone, we can't really make Lara do all those things she does in a cutscene yet. I think that what you wrote, we all could think of, but there's no cutscene editor yet, so forget about it for a while.

Come on, someone who had cutscenes must tell. I have cutscenes, but only in the original levels. There are some people who have the original curscenes in their own levels, but I can't remeber who it was.....

I have cutscenes in my own level, but they are taken from TR4.
