How can I add a picture in a cutscene?

[GrimMonkey]

Something like:
CutRsc "YourImage.jpg"

Not certified to be accurate.
Of course, put the image in the mission's folder.

I think I wrote about this in my text/font tutorial... It can be downloaded from my site: http://www20.brinkster.com/xenofanes/index.htm

I need to know this too.

@ GrimMonkey, there's a bit more to it than that.  ;D  You need a bucket of stuff in description.ext, that much I do know.

@xenofanes, that tute was excellent - I used it before - but sadly it doesn't cover pictures.

I found this thread which will help.  I have to go and figure it out now.

Yeah, I know. I discovered this when I needed to show a custom picture. I looked at someone elses and there was a 'bucket of stuff in description.ext' that is required.

Now I need to know.

OK I've made it work, more or less, thanks to Sui's wee tute which you can find by following the link in my other post.

Two points to mention.

1)  He does say this but it's not very clear:  the place where you put the name of the file you want to use is in this bit:

Code: [Select]

text="Title.paa";
         x=0.200000;
         y=0.200000;
         w=0.600000;
         h=0.600000;

2)  There are probably various ways of making the picture appear but I used:-

Code: [Select]

titleRsc ["title","plain",0.1]

[The-Architect]

I copied someone else's and just changed the pic. It contains text too but I havn't read the tute yet so you'll just have to pic what you need out,

class RscStdText
  {
   type=0;
   idc=-1;
   style=2;
   colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
   colorText[]={1,1,1,1};      
   font="TahomaB14";
   size=1;
  };

class RscTitles
  {
   titles[]={INTRO,};
   
   class INTRO
   {
     Â Â Â idd=-1;
     Â Â Â movingEnable=0;
     Â Â Â duration=2;
     Â Â Â fadein=2;
      fadeout=2;
     Â Â Â name="INTRO";
     Â Â Â controls[]={"Pic","Text",};
     Â Â Â 
     Â Â Â class Pic : RscStdText
     Â Â Â   {
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â style=48;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â text="ARCH.jpg";
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â x=0.46;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â y=0.45;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â w=0.08;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â h=0.110;
     Â Â Â   };
     Â Â Â class Text : RscStdText
     Â Â Â   {
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â text="The-Architect";
         colorText[]={1,1,1,1};
         font="TahomaB48";
         size=0.8;     Â Â Â   Â Â Â 
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â x=0.095;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â y=0.4;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â w=0.8;
     Â Â Â   Â Â Â h=0.05;
     Â Â Â   };
     Â Â Â 
   };
  };

That goes in the Description as you probably know. I called it up from a script with,

TitleRsc ["INTRO","pLAIN",0]

the pic dimensions were, 128x128 pixels. Note I used a jpeg.

If you guys already know all this stuff then forget the post and let someone else benefit from it.

another example from an old mission I've made last year :

Code: [Select]

class RscStdText
{Type=0;
Idc=-1;
Style=48;
ColorBackground[]={1,1,1,0};
ColorText[]={1,1,1,1};
Font="TahomaB36";
Size=1;};

class RscTitles{Titles[]={"titel1","titel2","titel3","titel4"};
   
class titel1
{
Idd=-1;
MovingEnable=0;
Duration=30;
Fadein=0.6;
Name="titel1";
Controls[]={"titel1"};
class titel: RscStdText
{
Style=48;
ColorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
Text="titel1.paa";
X=0.25;
Y=0.10;
W=0.55;
H=0.45;
};
};
   
class titel2
{
Idd=-1;
MovingEnable=0;
Duration=10;
FadeIn=0.6;
Name="titel2";
Controls[]={"titel2"};
class titel2: RscStdText
{
Style=48;
ColorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
Text="titel2.paa";
X=0.9;
Y=0.9;
W=0.08;
H=0.08;
};
};

class titel3
{
Idd=-1;
MovingEnable=0;
Duration=10;
FadeIn=0.6;
Name="titel3";
Controls[]={"titel3"};
class titel3: RscStdText
{
Style=48;
ColorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
Text="titel3.paa";
X=0.00009;
Y=0.118;
W=0.3;
H=0.766;
};
};

class titel4
{
Idd=-1;
MovingEnable=0;
Duration=10;
FadeIn=0.6;
Name="titel4";
Controls[]={"titel4"};
class titel4: RscStdText
{
Style=48;
ColorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
Text="titel4.paa";
X=0.700;
Y=0.115      
W=0.3;
H=0.768;
};
};
};

4 pictures (.paa) can't remember the dimensions anymore

Activated with

TitleRsc ["titel1","PLAIN"]
&
TitleRsc ["titel1","PLAIN"]
&
TitleRsc ["titel2","PLAIN"]
&
TitleRsc ["titel3","PLAIN"]

or with

CutRsc ["titel1","PLAIN",0]

U 2 jus chekc out my mission 'Waiting For The Hammer' in the Missions Depot (8/10) ^_^. Pictures play a vital role in complting the mission, and you can dePBO it and use the Description.ext as a template if you needA!

Tanks!

Right on Captain!  :afro:
