Hi
I'm testing PRACX MoviePlayerCommand entry and I'm content enough to share.
In Alpha Centauri.ini:
and the play.bat looks like:
I'm using mplayer r37604 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/MPlayer and MEncoder/ sigle exe should be enough). and NirCmd (https://nircmd.nirsoft.net/)
This suspends Alpha Centauri (no map background music during cut scene), plays cut scene full screen and resumes.
It works under my wine but i don't see why it should not under windows (or maybe under windows this is already scaled?
)
My inspiration to post this here was @ZombiVoziKombi. I would gladly accept properly upscaled movies as mplayer would play them (simple rename files would be enough).
I hope this will bring joy to someone.
