Hey List,
I'm going to heavily utilize storytelling in my mod. I've decided to have an
ingame TV Station tell important information. Traditionally I would have
used a simple rendertaget and a lot of scripting, but the recordings require
a lot of locations. Having the player load textures for
I don't know which version of the SDK your using (EP1/OB) but I
*believe* there's some native support for the Bink BIK movie format.
I vaguely recall a discussion here some time back about displaying a
movie on a VGUI panel using this format. I think it was Pirates and
Vikings that was doing it.
Bink is most certainly supported, but last time I checked out it it seemed
as I couldn't use it in my mod because I didn't have a license, and that I
doubt OB supports rendering a video onto a surface.
I'm using the OB Engine, but seeing as I'd like to rely on external
programs/libraries that
Or you can make a VTF with 1000+ frames and apply it to a face :D
Perhaps someone at Valve can point you on how did they do it for TF2, and if
that portion of code is in the SDK...

Compress them? If you're running 1080 movies then no wonder they are
I did some research about Bink and found that their tools are freely
available on their website. The SDK isn't publicly available, but every
function I need is already in the Source SDK.
vgui_video.cpp showed me exactly how the TF2 videos are drawn and it seems
that it's very easy to get the
I'm pretty new to source but I have an idea of how you might be able to get
that working.
Basically the idea is you extract the sound as a wav file or ogg vorbis,
whatever the hl2 api supports for playback, and then when the video is
played, you call a class to emit the sound file at the location

Yeah, that's probably the best idea. Or finding a sound handle in the bik-
pointer and see where what I can do with it ;-)
I found a way to find the IMaterial that the bink renders onto, so getting
the video ingame is just placing the material on a TV-shaped box. Of course,
the material is
You can also create a vgui screen which will render vgui into the world
space, was used sparingly in hl2. The bomb in CSS is using vgui screen for
the timer on it.

world space.
