Starting Animation vide don´t work

I am playing Build 13 full + 2. update and starting animation video doesn´t want to start while I am in basic game menu. I controlled whether I have animation enable and I have, so, there must be some bug here because this animation always worked. I think it´s a pity because this video is vere nice and impressive. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
you mean the trailer, right? well, it doesn't fit the current game in any way, so i don't really see a reason to keep it. you can simply view it in the main directory.
 
Which animation do you mean? The Oxbay Invasion movie? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
the trailer used to play if you waited for a minute in the main menu. you can find it in the videos directory.
 
Trailer? I never saw any movie in the main menu. Which file is it?
 
"trailer" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> it's in the resources file, somewhere in 'videos'.
 
I have no video file called "trailer" in my VIDEOS folder anywhere.
 
it should be in the bottom row of clips. at least, that's where it is in my videos folder. if it really isn't there, then something's not right.
 
The file is really called "trailer"? Nope; I don't have it. Perhaps it was only part of US game versions or something? My game has never ever had that file.
 
Of course I know that. It's not there, neither with nor without the ".
 
No video comes up for you when you stay in the menu a bit too long, Pieter?

Might also be called intro, by the way...

Don't have that either, and I also have the Euro version by Ubisoft. All I ever saw at the start was the three(3!) company logos and the Invasion movie.
 
It´s really interesting that you don´t have this video or trailer (I think it isn´t important how you name it) in you game. I have had it always in my game but in this B13 + 2 update it does´t want to appear. It should appear when you are in main menu where is load and save game and when you let this menu intact for about 1 minute the trailer or video started. I like it and always liked it. For me it´s a pity that it stopped appear in the game. I think it was nice supplement of the game. I will have a look where I have it in my game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
do you want me to put it on the FTP server? by the way, i asked about the " because i thought you had used search to find it.

You are really missing something then. You should try to get it. You would like it.
It is Trailer.wmv and comes with stock POTC.

At least it is the Bethesda English (US?) version.
I wonder if Akella might have that somewhere on their web site.



Rad, I'm using Build13 update 2 and after 70 seconds on the main menu screen, the video does auto play.
 
Hi, Petros. It´s a good information. But my trailer doesn´t want to start now. It´s strange. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

POTC\Program\interface\mainmenu.c has the code:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->
void procTimeCalculate()
{
    int n = sti(GameInterface.mainmenu.timeclock) - 1;

    if(n>0)
    {
        GameInterface.mainmenu.timeclock = n;
        PostEvent("evntTimeCalculate",1000);
        return;
    }

    SetEventHandler(EVENT_END_VIDEO,"LaunchMainMenu_afterVideo",0);
    StartPostVideo("trailer",1);
    SetEventHandler("Control Activation","procAttractExit",1);
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Check to see if you have this.

Also check to see if the video runs in Windows Media Player.
 
I have the same sequence in my file mainmenu.c as you put here but I searched all the game and there isn´t this trailer on my hardrive in Pirates of Caribbean directory anywhere. There are various another videos and some of them I never saw yet at all (how strange) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> but not this trailer. It is gone. Maybe it could be on the CD dirrectly? But it isn´t probable. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
You got a new game version, right Rad? You used to have different CDs, if I recall correctly? It seems that there are game versions that don't have that file and some that do. Could somebody please upload the file on the FTP for those who want it?
