.smk video doesn't work

[paladin MAIK]

Can not upload video .smk format for Myth. It just does not play.

What do I need set here?

Program: Smacker (RAD video tools)

[Pyro]

Upload where? SMK is only used for Mac classic users. QuickTime MOV files are used for Mac OSX users while Windows users can use both with MOV being the priority.

I need to add video folder cutscene, but the video should be played when the level starts. So you must specify in the table that in the screenshot?

No you set where it plays within the mesh tags in Fear. Under Prologue and Epilogue, you can place movie files. As pyro said though, you probably want to be converting your video file to .mov format rather than .smk

Or include both with your plugin download, but make .mov the default, not many people use classic anymore/at all.

I believe he is saying that he can't figure out the correct conversion settings to create a smacker video that myth will play. Correct?

Maik, if you upload your video somewhere and I will try to convert it for you.

Ok, I figured out the problem: the current version of Rad Video Tools creates files which aren't compatible with Myth. You need an older version of the tools. Here's a thread that describes this: http://tain.totalcodex.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=579

The old smacker tools can be found here: http://hl.udogs.net/files/Useful_Tools/SmkTools.exe

This self installer won't run on 64 bit windows, so here is a copy of the folder after installation which I did on a virtual machine: http://www.projectmagma.net/~melekor/up ... mkTools.7z

Finally, here's a copy of your cutscene which I made during the process of figuring all this out: http://www.projectmagma.net/~melekor/up ... imated.smk . The framerate has been reduced to 15fps to match other Myth cutscenes.
