UE2 - UT2kX AVI import

[Toy_world]

Im working on a group project with unreal 2K4, and we have a small animation fly through in the form of an AVI file but i cant figure out how to import it into the game, if anyone has any suggestions or help in this matter i would appricate it, or even if anyone knows weather it is possible at all.

Thanks.

It isn't. I don't recall if you can make a bunch of texture follow one after another like a movie, but I know that you can do this with 2 pictures. There are no support for AVI, nor video files I am afraid.

I suppose you can however, with some coding and scripting, go search for a video file and play it full screen on the HUD. This is what you'll be aiming for I guess.

You could do it with animated textures but depending on the size of the screen,length of the clip and also quality (framerate) you wanted the map file could end up huge. Animated Textures work basically the same way as stickman flip books and gif(s) work... one image displayed after another.

I cant remember the exact process and UnrealWiki is giving database errors on the Animated Texture page... I do know however that you would have to save the files and use a naming convention to keep them in the right order.. eg mytexture_AO1.png mytexture_AO2.png etc etc. The editor will sort them in the correct order for you.

What about flash animation thru one of the consoles? Would that be a do-able?

Not with getting access to the source so that unreal can read .swf files.
