Video Intro

[StrikingPheonix]

Hi. I've searched the forums but couldn't really find an answer for this so, here we go:

How would I go about changing the intro video (the one displayed as Glest... then goes to www.glest.org).
It is possible to change, as seen in the SST mod. Does anyone know where I can find the files?

Thanks.

Its actually just a image, but you cant change the website link.
Go to the data/ folder from the root (i think)

[@kukac@]

Try editing menu.xml at \data\core\menu.xml

I'm not sure about it, but I found this

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<menu>
<water value="true" height="3"/>
<rain value="true"/>
<fog value="true" density="0.025"/>
<camera>
<start-position x="5" y="10" z="40"/>
<root-position x="-9" y="11" z="10"/>
<about-position x="6" y="8.5" z="11"/>
<config-position x="4" y="17" z="0"/>
<info-position x="5" y="6" z="-5"/>
<new-game-position x="12" y="17" z="5"/>
<join-game-position x="14" y="15" z="5"/>
<scenario-position x="10" y="13" z="2"/>

<start-rotation x="0" y="0" z="0"/>
<root-rotation x="0" y="-40" z="0"/>
<about-rotation x="0" y="-80" z="0"/>
<config-rotation x="0" y="-5" z="0"/>
<info-rotation x="0" y="25" z="0"/>
<new-game-rotation x="0" y="10" z="0"/>
<join-game-rotation x="0" y="12" z="0"/>
<scenario-rotation x="0" y="-10" z="0"/>
</camera>
</menu>

Or anything else in that directory.

No, that's the background of the menu. The camera moves to those positions when you click the buttons.

So where would I edit the image?

[hailstone]

data/core/menu/textures/logo.tga

I think that is what your after.

[StrikingPheonix]

Thanks a lot.

The reason I ask is that I like making very lore-heavy things. The one thing that Glest lacks is a description area (with good reason), so I was hoping to be able to change the logo to actually give an intro.

Do you know if I could somehow make the game display multiple pictures though? Like a series of images linked together? (i.e. Text, art, text, art...etc)

You'd have to edit the source code.
