I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to run a separate .mve during a campaign.

I did. I'm pretty sure this is not something new since it only took me about 2 hours to get it working. I used the fsport campaign from galatic emporeor. I was getting really really tired of not haveing the cutscenes so I tried to get them from my copy of fs 1. After alot of frustrating downloading of the extracters I needed I successful have the FS 1 campaign running with in game movies. I was wondering if there is any program out there to convert avi mpeg or mov into mve files. I know that there is a mve to exe but well thats a bit useless here.

If this interests anyone I would like to know.

I have just recently become interested in the whole modding thing and I actually find it halfway interesting.

I would like any information on this subject that I can get.

Interplay owns the copywrite on MVE and guards it very heavily.

There is a program out there that will do what you want. Good luck finding it though. Good luck destributing your movies too considering that an fool can figure out how you made them.

I`m not certain of this but I have heard people say that you can run avi's from freespace. Don`t know if this is true or not though since I`ve never tried.

i dont want to distribute any movies. I just wanted to know if anyone else has gotten movies that are not on the freespace cd to work. It was just a question.

How can I get the most up to date copy of the source code. Is there an open source code that the community is working on that can be downloaded.

The MVE code was ripped out of the source code (as was the stuff for PXO).

Edit: I don`t know where you can get the source but they'll know [URL=http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=50]Here[/URL]

On the list is embedding a DivX player.

I strongly discourage messing with MVE. It gets people into trouble.

If you think you have skills to add a player, pop over to the HLP dev forum, or email me at inquisitor@shatteredstar.com we still don't have someone who has decided to champion adding a player back into the source.

Ok I really haven't been following the whole source code project until about two weeks ago. I have been doing lots of manual labor for family (building dog proof fences with 6" - 8" thick concrete pouredon the fence line with the fence buried in it) so I have barely had a chance to look over the source code. I have not been a big fan of mods until I found Counterstrike a year ago. FS2 interests me because it is public and we can do whatever we want to it.

Don't Machina Terra have cutscenes? What are they using for them?
