berka's Video script II reloaded!

This script works great for me unless I have the game in full-screen mode. When the game is in full-screen mode, the script will call the movie but after it's finished I find myself in whatever other program I had running (or at the desktop) and I have to alt-tab to get back to the game.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
I have a problem. When my game window isnt set to full screen the video opens in full screen. When the game window IS set to full screen the video plays in a small window.

any suggestions?
 
hey again^^

the script is really great but it would be even better when someone
could change the "return to scene_map" so you can play videos in battle.
otherwise when you play a movie in battle the battle aborts and returns to scene_map.
can someone do this? or is this impossible?

I think its certain types of video. I used a WMV at it was fine.

Hmmm. Maybe it's my system config then... or maybe plain old user error. I get the error even on WMV's.

Thanks for checking it out, Berka. It's a great script.
 
when i put an avi video in an event it did not work. it was a wmm video converted to a wmv with mediacoverter and i converted the wmv to an avi but it does not work .why?
 
Sorry for the semi necroposting but I had a problem with this script: if you play a video on full screen while you also have the full screen script running, the game would minimalize after the video is finished. Wazakindjes has now found a solution. In the end it was simple too :p

just comment line 77 out like this:

#@film.call("close FILE notify",0,0,handle)

It worked for me, hopefully it does for others too :)
 
bump

sorry to bring up this topic after its been years.
i've tried this script and its great. As always the full screen problem was not a simple fix as just commenting out line 77.
when I do that, only one video will play but when i attempt to play other videos in my project they don't play.
It's like the script still thinks that video 1 is playing and the handler to close the video didn't do its job since it was commented out.

any fix for this? once again sorry for bringing this topic back after 2 years lol
