How do I add introduction part into the game

Post by planebus » Wed Mar 24, 2010 9:45 am

Dear guys.

Before playing the game, there are always some pictures or words to introduce the background or the plot, as well as the task for the game.

How do I do that.
thx

There are many ways.
1) You can script in the pictures, pawns and stuff, but that would be hard, and considering you're new, go with choice 2
2) In the player setup entity there is an option to play a video file at the start of the level. Just make a video with pictures, audio, etc.

Also you can add an introduction movie after the genesis 3d logo... You can use the ini editor for that.

Good luck!
Over 3 years (has it been that long?) and just now I noticed the day and month of my birthday were switched. Whoops!

Some 2d games I made, haven't made anything in a year though O.o

When creating a level using RFEditPro you can add a PlayerSetup entity and in the OpeningCutScene property field you can add the filename of an AVI or GIF video. That video will then play at the start of the level.
