Video as a wall?

[atoatoato]

I wanted to put the wonderful DEAN SCREAM (note: not the one I will use but the best I could find for now) in my level as a secret which could get a few lols. Can it be done and what does the video textures do and how they be used?

[WadeV1589]

You need to create a .roq file (the video file) and then make a shader for your video as follows:

textures/sg_misc/eh
{
   q3map_nolightmap
   {
       videoMap textures/sg_misc/eh
   }
}

how does this affect fps?

oh cool!

[WadeV1589]

Not too much, you will definately know a video is running but it won't kill FPS, it's more like an animmap just without any limits on number of frames.

Thank you Wade but would you happen to know how to convert a .wmv into its indivigual frames.

Also how do I make the shader, if you could point me to a tutorial or just yell SHEARCH FIRST alot of times

how would you get a 'camera' that would follow some one and show through a texture on a wall somewhere else?

[WadeV1589]

You can't get camera's to follow people in MP.

 

I'm pretty sure there is software out there that can tear apart a wmv file and export as a series of bmp's, it's a Google thing methinks.
