jna Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I suppose you would have to script that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alster Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Both can be done with scripting…For B look around the scripting base for custom menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmell Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Alright thanks for the support. I was also wondering if there was a way to display a video file before the main menu loaded when the client.exe was run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 3.0 will have a 4 frame animation for the menus that all i know. For the menu pop ups just make a cool menu with text and a picture of the NPC. Call custom menu and play mp3. Hope that helps... (sorry typing really fast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZelconGames Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 A video opening scene…A dream come true for me.P.S. Voices playing when you talk to NPC's? _That would take a looooong time to create_. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irhymer Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 @ZelconGames:> P.S. Voices playing when you talk to NPC's? _That would take a looooong time to create_.Not really. My computer has a built in recorder. I just get a couple voice actors, we record, then add it into the game. For me, im only putting intro sounds (like in zelda). Like the NPC says "watsup" but theirs like a paragraph to read. I only use custom menus and sound for NPC's that have an important rol in the game, lus it akes missions come to life. You'll see when my game is complete. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
