Strange thing
« on: 15 Oct 2002, 17:19:18 »
I'm working on a cutscene using the scriip camera.sqs and those things. The cutscene was working perfectly, but I had to reinstall flashpoint. When I installed it and all the addons needed I went to the editor and load the mission. And when I play it, the camera doesn't work well. I had some scenes where the camera was aiming at a person's face and now the face even doesn't appear (or appear only the neck, etc). My question is: do the cutscenes change because of the configuration of the flashpoint (i.e I was running the cutscene in 640x480, but I usually run it in 1024x768) and if it does so, if anyone sees the mission, will they see it as I saw it, or different? But for example the campaign works fine, and they used as far as I know the same thing. Then waht's going on???

I've noticed that every upgrade has an effect on AI behaviour, which in turns affects how custom cutscenes work. BIS kept camera work pretty simple actually, in their missions - safe, perhaps is a better word. But for more adventurous custom missions it can wreak havoc.

I wrote a mission with a great end cutscene that relies on critical timing. Every upgrade destroys that timing. Recommend mission builders be very careful when using such features in their own cutscenes.
