Can i just use the same for the exit by changing the text ? I really suck at this stuff so if i can do a copy paste thing it might be alot safer for me. Been trying for 3 days to figure this out. ?

well i tried this but it did not work... I made an outro file under cinematics and put this in it:
-- simple one image cinematic
enableUserInput()
startMusic("assets/samples/music/myending.ogg")
-- show the image
showImage("mod_assets/textures/cinematic/outro/page01.tga")
fadeIn(2)
sleep(4)
setFont("Intro")
textWriter([[
You completed my dungeon! Well done blah blah blah!
]])
click()
fadeOutText(0.5)
fadeOut(4)
fadeOutMusic(3)
then a pressure plate triggered lua with:
function endgame()
completeGame("mod_assets/textures/cinematic/myending.lua")
end
i thought the page01.tga was the same picture as before.. what have i done wrong this time? lol im hopeless!

msyblade's should work fine but if you are cutting and pasting then you will need to change the second line to
startMusic("assets/samples/music/intro.ogg")
because msyblades is calling for a custom sound file that will not be on your computer. Everything else should work, just change the text.
Good luck.

it is not working for the ending for some reason .. this is what i put in my cinematics folder:
enableUserInput()
startMusic("assets/samples/music/intro.ogg")
showImage("assets/textures/cinematic/intro/page02.tga")
fadeIn(2)
-- show the title text
sleep(1)
setFont("IntroTitle")
showText("The End", 3)
sleep(2)
fadeOutText(1)
-- show the story text
sleep(1)
setFont("Intro")
textWriter([[

i named it myending.lua
then i had a script lua tied to a pressure plate that said:
function endgame()
complete("mod_assets/textures/cinematic/myending.lua")
end
what did i do wrong?
its crashing me back to desk top with the error list
do i need to make another folder some place or change names or something? I changed the music file that you said to change i think.. sorry for all the trouble. (btw I am a lady) =P

I have not done an ending yet but I would do two things,
first I would check the file path of this line here
complete("mod_assets/textures/cinematic/myending.lua") and confirm that cinematic is in the textures folder. It is probably correct if you copied msyblades script, but it just seems weird to be in the textures file.
Also what I like to do is just put a hudPrint in the script just to make sure the pressure plate is calling the script correctly.
function endgame()
hudPrint("endgame function active")
--complete("mod_assets/textures/cinematic/myending.lua")
end
and run from the editor and you will know the script is being called, then remove the dashes and the hudPrint once confirmed. (I use hudPrint to troubleshoot a lot)
If you don't get it solved I can test it when I get home but that won't be for a few hours.
edit - I noticed there is no fadeOut() for the picture. Don't know if that would cause a crash or not.
Maybe also try not using a picture. Just put 2 dashes in front of showPicture and fadIn() and try that.

Meraz,
if you havent already got it working then here is what I came up with on my mod.
Code: Select all
-- test one
enableUserInput()
startMusic("assets/samples/music/intro.ogg")
-- show the image
showImage("assets/textures/cinematic/intro/page01.tga")
fadeIn(2)
-- show title screen
sleep(1)
setFont("IntroTitle")
showText("The End\n\nor is it?",3)
sleep(3)
fadeOutText(1)
-- show story text
sleep(1)
setFont("Intro")
textWriter([[

inside. Quickly you turn and dash back inside...
]])
click()
fadeOutText(0.5)
sleep(1)
textWriter([[
Coming soon..JoJo's Tower II, the apple fritter of doom.

]])
click()
fadeOutText(0.5)
fadeOut(4)
fadeOutMusic(3)
Put this into notepad and save it as a .lua file and put in your mod_assets/cinematics folder.
You can name it whatever you want but for this example we will name it gameover.lua Then your function will be
function ending()
completeGame("mod_assets/cinematics/gameover.lua")
end
give that a shot and see what happens.
(and you can change the text in case you want the ham sandwich of doom)
edit: looking again I think your script looks fine, the issue is probably in your function. You have it as cinematic and it needs to be cinematics (with the 's').
For some reason in the game files it's cinematic (singular) and in mod_assets it is cinematics (plural). Might just have to add the 's' and resave it.
Good luck

I believe you found it!, two things. Think Ryeath nailed it down for you. In your ending lua, in the editor, you have your cinematics path pointing to your textures folder, it should simply be in mod_assets/cinematics. Also at the end, after fading out text, you may need to add these two lines
fadeOut(4)
fadeOutMusic(3)
So at the very end it would look like
]])
click()
fadeOutText(0.5)
fadeOut(4)
fadeOutMusic(3)
Hope this gets it working, and please dont hesitate to post if you are still having trouble!
