playbink within a terminal

[CommodoreBlitz]

I need a few videos played I think the best easiest way is threw a terminal, but am not sure how to do this.

I've tried making a entry in a terminal then in the results scripts put the playbink script but nothing happens other then displaying the entry in the terminal.

 

her is my script

 

-----------------------------------------------------------I made this to playout side a terminal(when you just click on it it would play(but that did not work either)

ScriptName TerminalScript

 

;Script for playing movies

Short Button

Short ButtonPressed

 

Begin OnActivate

Set ButtonPressed To 1

End

 

Begin GameMode

if (ButtonPressed == 1)

Set Button To GetButtonPressed

 

PlayBink "TerminalMovies\LT - fnvvidtest.BiK" 1 1 1 1

Elseif (Button == 1)

PlayBink "TerminalMovies\LT - 2001 - blankfornow.BiK" 1 1 1 1

Elseif (Button == 2)

Endif

 

 

 

end

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have also tried just the playbink "name.bik" 1111

but nothing happens either.

 

Also is there anyway to get a tape to play a video instead of a audio or and txt. If there is a guide to this feel free to just point me to it. I've looked on the Gecks web page but tho they list the commands they don't really say how to use it.

I'm not aware of any guides like you are looking for, most people just go through the posts here or the stuff in the Geck to see how someone else did it.

 

Try this:

Edit your terminal, then make sure you have a menu item. With that menu item selected, put the first playbink line in the Item Result Script box. Run it and see if it works.

I tried that with the script and just the playbink command and other then displaying the entry "play video" in the terminal it does not respond.

I don't know what else to tell you. I tried it by creating a new terminal and using the FNVintro.bik that comes with the game and it worked. Hopefully someone can explain why it's not working for you.

I made the line much simpler, just using PlayBink "fnvvidtest.bik" and it worked....now to figure out how to make a video note tape......

 

thanks for the tips.
