Thanks Blue Monkey. I sent Rob a PM and he told me what he remembered about it. The video file is called Race.bic in the movies folder and it needs to be saved in BINK format.
There is an open source project called libav that lets you save videos in BINK format. So I will download that later and play with it.
Your notes on the Steampunk race screen are very helpful. And controlling the space part images is easy once you know which files to change. I figured most of these out already.
But one thing that eludes me is this. How do you get rid of the "assign to whatever" link? Your sample Steampunk screen uses little books (good idea) to make it look like the items are on the pages of a book. But you somehow got rid of the "assign to" text and link.
Here's what I'm talking about (see pic)... where it shows black textbox areas and then the text "assign >". I'd like to remove that if possible and it looks like you did that on your file. But I'm going by the screenshot you posted here.
If you don't remember that stuff, that's cool. I'll figure it out eventually.
I changed the labels.txt file. I had already found relevant entries. But they only affect the text. They don't get rid of the black bar and the assign link...
I'm not sure what that means anyway. I didn't know you could assign a space part to anything...
Also, the 'view space race' link works but gets me confused. When you click it, it comes up with a dialog box that says something about how you need a spy for this civilization and a spy for this civilization, etc. I didn't know that you needed spies to build space parts? Have you seen that before?
note: I haven't found the label yet for 'view space race' to change the text. But I'm sure I'll find it quick like I did the others...
Thanks for any help you can give me on this.
I attached a steampunk unicycle if you want to use it. I had it in my epic mod once.
I can find the large and small pcx files if you'd like them.
Sorry for all the questions. Anyway, I did scan through your Steampunk space ship screen thread and didn't see anything about how to remove the "assign to" link...
