created cinematic of finish???

[bacchus1974]

sorry but i don t understand where i must put my file image.tga

bye

[Montis]

in the folder you specified in the script file
so if you have for example showImage("mod_assets/cinematics/ending.tga")
you need to place the image in the mod_assets\cinematics\ folder which is usually found in
C:\Users\[yourwindowsusername]\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock\Dungeons\[yourdungeon]

Please note that scripts use forward slashes while the windows file system uses back slashes.

i have place my ending.tga in folder mod_assets\cinematics\*.*
where i have place my ending.lua in this same folder mod_assets\cinematics\

Cinematics work only in game, not in the editor.

To create a cinematic you need the graphics editor (to make an images and export to DDS) and text editor to make "ending.lua" script.
Grimrock Editor is using only to export your custom dungeon with cinematic


I hope there should be an option to play cinematic in the Grimrock Editor in the future, because testing and "debugging" the cinematic for now is very frustrating:
- modify the lua script, export dungeon, close editor, launch the game, play custom dungeon - to see the cinematic, exit to main menu, run the editor, modify the lua script...

when you close the editor and launch the game, a slightly faster way is to do File-Exit, as that goes straight back to the game main menu without actually starting the whole thing over.

sure, a better way to see how cinematics are made and how to "debug" these should be cool.

how can I see my ending cinematic for example? make my start position near the end? but if it's done by killing a big beast? how can I see it without my party killed..?

[Komag]

easy, just hit K in front of the monster. Or you could always just set up a temporary button to run it, no problem

You can add a script entity with the following in it to immediately play the ending:

Code: Select all

completeGame("mod_assets/cinematics/ending.lua")

Or another options is to temporarily rename the ending cinematic to intro.lua.
