Well, guess what, we can actually play movie in RMXP with a certain RGSS script of course. It’s not mine to made though. I forgot where did I got them since they are in my HD for long. I post in the blog just to share it with you all. If you happen to be the one who write the script, please claim and so I’ll add all the credits goes to you.
class Scene_Movie
def initialize(movie)
@readini = Win32API.new 'kernel32', 'GetPrivateProfileStringA', %w(p p p p l p), 'l'
@movie_name = Dir.getwd()+"\\Movies\\"+movie+".avi"
main
end
def main
game_name = "\0" * 256
@readini.call('Game','Title','',game_name,255,".\\Game.ini")
game_name.delete!("\0")
@wnd = Win32API.new('user32','FindWindowEx','%w(l,l,p,p)','L')
@temp = @wnd.call(0,0,nil,game_name).to_s
movie = Win32API.new('winmm','mciSendString','%w(p,p,l,l)','V')
movie.call("open \""+@movie_name+"\" alias FILE style 1073741824 parent " + @temp.to_s,0,0,0)
@message = Win32API.new('user32','SendMessage','%w(l,l,l,l)','V')
@detector = Win32API.new('user32','GetSystemMetrics','%w(l)','L')
@width = @detector.call(0)
if @width == 640
fullscreen
Graphics.update
sleep(1)
Graphics.update
sleep(1)
Graphics.update
sleep(1)
end
status = " " * 255
movie.call("play FILE",0,0,0)
loop do
sleep(0.1)
@message.call(@temp.to_i,11,0,0)
Graphics.update
@message.call(@temp.to_i,11,1,0)
Input.update
movie.call("status FILE mode",status,255,0)
true_status = status.unpack("aaaa")
if true_status.to_s != "play"
break
end
if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
Input.update
break
end
end
movie.call("close FILE",0,0,0)
bail
end
def bail
if @width == 640
fullscreen
end
end
end
def fullscreen()
$full.call(18,0,0,0)
$full.call(13,0,0,0)
$full.call(18,0,2,0)
$full.call(13,0,2,0)
end
$full = Win32API.new('user32','keybd_event','%w(l,l,l,l)','')
I don’t think that I understand the script, but it seems that the RGSS support playing movie type file. Anyway, to play the movie with script above follow this steps:
- Just copy the script and create new script on your RMXP project, name them anything you like (mine Scene_Movie).
- Create directory in your RMXP project and name it ‘Movies’.
- Put your movie files there.
- Use Event Command. Look for the command Script on third page. Add the script ‘Scene_Movie.new("your_movie_files_name_without_extension")’
There goes the tutorial. Okay then just try the script, will you. See you later and good night, I’m sleepy now.
