Hi, Following Camsters instructions on Vimeo I managed to make some intros for team racing I even put music on them ! when the intros get to the end some will stay on the last key view but others dont, it looks really good when it happens but i cant work out how. Does anyone know ?

Thanks, ALB (John)

Glad the Intros are working. I dont know how to stop the intro automatically opening the race screen, although this used to happen in the days before I added the camera track & sound. Let us know if you find out please!

Following on to this I Made some intros for mates and e-mailed them but it appears that the music file is not with the intro so i had to send it seperately, does the music run from another location? When you view someones intro and hear the music is it stored in your computer or thiers ?

I have saved races with intros while playing online and the music came with them. So it seems when you join a game online the intro, music and all, are uploaded with the race.

I guess music is stored in a folder

VSK5/mediatracker/sound

and pictures belonging to the intro at

VSK5/mediatracker/images.

To handover the complete map I started working with an installer program to create an exe file which will place the files. Otherwise, some people will not see the images etc. because the intro is shown without having the time to download it.

If someone knows a good installer to choose different install folders

Hi, when making an intro i found the coordinates for text by trial and error, easy and obvious to you smart alecs but confusing to a mere mortal, anyway this is as I see some main points to start from. The ones round the edge put text just off screen, handy if you want text to begin or end out of sight, different positions can be chosen by changing the decimal places ie;

X0.75
Y0.799

etc etc

Sorry if you already know but this may help another beginner

Hi John,

You can do that or, type your text and then place the cursor over it on the screen, depress the right mouse button and drag the text(or picture etc) where you want it. The co-ordinates follow. Sourire
