conversor video WMV for SMK.

Hello all,

There is a WMV video Free converter for SMK (Smacker animation)?
I would like to create "cutscenes" for my plugins.

You'll have a very difficult if not impossible time trying to find a reliable converter for anything to SMK. It's a very old format. Myth 2 will run Quicktime videos though. You can convert them to mpg or mp4 and they should play as cutscene files (providing you link them up to the mesh tag correctly - see how bungie did theirs, it's pretty simple).

Graydon,

thanks, I understand.

Ok, but the image you posted does not appear below. could you send again?

[Melekor]

You actually can still create smacker vids, with the "rad game tools" software found here: http://www.radgametools.com/smkdown.htm

Quicktime (mpeg4) is the way to go though, since smacker is no longer supported on the Mac UB.

Melekor,

ah cool! thanks boss.

Mr. Melekor // Graydon,
and all.

I managed to convert one video format to SMK. Ok . very well.
then placed this file in the "cutscenes", and turning the "fear", then put in a mesh to test, but the film is not showing up when I run Myth2, why?

the bigger question is WHY are you making cutscenes in SMK? No on using a modern mac will be able to see your cutscenes. You should be creating them in Quicktime as someone suggested earlier, or if you are creating them in wmv, convert them to qt/mp4 when you are done - that is what will play in Myth 2 on both macs and pcs (and linux i assume).

Vinylrake,

Yes, I understood the first instruction of Graydon. but then, Melekor suggested me a download of a converter SMK, then I tried to run the movie SMK, and without success.
Now, I tried to make your suggestion, in other formats VMW, QT, MP4. but, without success. my computer is not MAC, it is PC windows.

[vinylrake]

yes. but if you make smacker cutscenes they will ONLY play on the windows version of Myth II. If you make QuickTime cutscenes they will work on either windows OR mac versions of Myth II.
