Author Topic: Ingame Films - Films made in Events. Anyone have some film ideas?  (Read 2594 times)

 So this is the basic idea by using
 We can make videos in-game. Where with bot events vehicles are driven and with clients can see the characters on screen talking by having the chat message event used with the text colored to look like it is being said by players. A general theater save shall be released as a place where a player can go into a 1 person room and view a film. A sort of hub of movies.

  needed: people to have film ideas.

  Now we can do this with a little editing and have a sort of Game Mode in place. PathCam is edited so it works minigame wide and can be sent to all players. Now not only you view a film but you watch it with other people. Mute is turned on when a film is on so its only the show. With the Game Mode films and the activation brick are loaded under Bl_Id: 999999 the theater itself is loaded under Bl_Id: 888888. The films will be cycled and loaded like speedkart. Except that one does not have a replay count and goes to the next one a few minutes after one ends for intermission and discussion time where players can leave the server and talk about said film.

  needed: films, scripting, and a PathCam edit.

  The last idea in in-game films is this can be used in more than just said, it can be used as a sort of secret in builds letting people see films about what ever the builder wants said film to be. It can also work as cut scenes letting people put videos into there challenges for a player to view when they are getting teleported to the next area. This will make transitions and story telling easier in that case.

  What are your thoughts on in-game films? Post film ideas please. At the moment I think I will make a remake of Run Hard.

I got an idea.
Some guys drop out of the sky.
On an iceberg.
And make a city.
The end.

Things are coming out good, the only problem is there does not seem to be away to control bot head movement. when it turns you can not point it in a certain direction

Updated: new add-on fixes this.

Wait, you are actually doing my idea? :D

I am kind of iffy with bot events, so if you could give me the save I could figure out how you make them do stuff :D

Nope! I was thinking along the lines of longer films. Also yours lacks a plot.

Updated: new add-on fixes this one is no longer needed.

I wonder how this is going to turn out.

I am kind of iffy with bot events, so if you could give me the save I could figure out how you make them do stuff :D

well this sounds fun.

Maybe some dude has to figure out a mystery of a bunch of food poisonings around his town and it turns out its a salad monster. Idk how I came up with that lol

i was expecting another ultra-pixelated event tv
this is much better

Someone showcased something similar at a evented computer server I attended. This was about 1 year ago so I expect this will have improved dramatically!

Can't wait to see the final result.

If anyone can script and wants to help could you please make this? Currently I am going to make a few shorts to show how this would work but unless I get controllable head turning for bots they will all be a lower quality than possible.

I've contacted you about supporting the project :D

Idk how I came up with that lol
You come up with the most interesting things.

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=236534.0 - Head turning has been made. Dared ID:16590 shall now be put into credits of films including this. Then the rest of the list is all the people who did building and made other add-ons used in the films.

Anyways that crosses one of the things off of the list. What is left is.

Add-on List
Head Turning - needed, head movements are used a lot in filming.
Client/Minigame sided PathCam- Not needed but would be appreciated and make this a lot easier to set up.
Gamemode scripter- Can not do without the item listed above.
Any bot event that we don't have at the moment and would be helpful- Must think of something first to decide whether its needed or not.

Updated: Op and other posts updated.

What about this guy is red, and everything he touches becomes red, and when he drinks some other color, he becomes that color, and whatever he touches becomes that specific color.

What about a noob that gets bullied by Kalipher but then takes boxing lessons and then beats Kalipher up.
