Credits
« on: 18 Feb 2003, 15:12:31 »
I know it is possible to make  a kind of credits screen in an endcutscene script. I already figured out that I can use cutrsc ["creditsback","plain",0].
But how do I put that darn credit-text in there?

Welcome to the forums, LightWalker

The 'credits' you've got there are actually a thing called a resource. Basically it's just a picture that is superimposed over the screen using the cutrsc command.

What this means, is you can't change the text directly. However, you can create your own resources...

To do this you need to muck around with a file called description.ext...
Unfortunately I'm not too good with resources myself, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will come along and help you out ;)

Welcome to OFPEC, I posted the text you need to put in your description.ext here a few days ago, the only other thing you'll need is a picture (.paa format) which you put in the folder where your mission.sqm is.

Done it and it seems to work now. I only need the correct dimensions for that picture on the right side of the screen. Anyone knows the dimensions?

  I'm not exactly sure but I think that they have to be to a power of 2.  For example:
   
     64x128

Or:

     64x32

Just keep on testing it until you find one that fits :)
