Adding Intro Video.

[brian_hoffman]

Here you guys go... This was missed in the torrent but here is the intro for your viewing pleasure.

Install Notes:

Assuming HS in the the Root of the C: the video goes here..
C:\HyperSpin\Media\Frontend\Video

It needs to be named Intro.flv

Then navigate to
C:\HyperSpin\Settings\ and edit the Settings.INI

Edit this

[IntroVideo]
Use_Intro = true


Caps matter.. Use lowercase

Billy you really need to make it where I can upload ZIP files here.

[amchine]

Awesome. Looks great with the black one.

[kingb33]

[billpa]

Hey Brian,

I uploaded a few more versions to the ftp. There is a folder called IntroFLVs. There are 6 color variations in there:

Black, White, Yellow, Orange, Green, and Pink

I think thats enough colors for now unless someone wants something special (just PM me)

Thanks
Bill

[BadBoyBill]

Thanks billpa, bump for those that might have missed this. I even missed this thread.

[brian_hoffman]

Ill Update this thread to include all versions... Thanks..


Billy Im going nuts... I need ZIP support for file attachment..
I cant use megaupload forever... Its tackey

[BadBoyBill]

Done

[billpa]

Hey Brian

Give me a little more time. I just realized that I need to fade out the color background to black at the end. This way its a seamless jump from the intro to HS (which starts off with a black background). I will add a few more colors as well and will let you know when they are ready.

Thanks again!

[billpa]

Okay...I've uploaded 10 intro videos. The colors are:

Black
White
Pink
Green
Yellow
Red
Orange
Teal
Blue
Purple

Its in the IntroFLVs folder. Enjoy!

[Dazz]

Woo hoo! You got Pink!

[BadBoyBill]

I think HS will fade to black for you , can you confirm?

[billpa]

You know what...I remember you saying you would code that in. I rendered out a flv without the fade and it works. I also ran one with the fade in that I did and it looks the same.

[urbecrisch]

Sorry for my ignorance but is the video just a black background or am I supposed to see something? I know I installed it correctly but I'm just getting a black screen and HS does not start. If video is set to false in the settings HS starts up fine. Any help?

[The Loafer]

Hey, maybe there's a connection to the "black screen" bug. What are your pc specs urbecrish? Billy: Guesswork you're probably thinking about, but maybe a test build without any "intro video" code would be a good idea to test for the "other" issue.

[urbecrisch]

Well HS works without intro video but when I select "true" for the video, I just get a blank screen :(

Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
2.53 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
1280 Megabytes Installed Memory
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 Display


Should be enough to run the video right?

[billpa]

Just wanted to make sure you guys followed Brian's instructions:

You of course had to have downloaded the Intro.flv file separately as it was not part of the initial torrent release.

[urbecrisch]

Yep, however I'm using an external HD so my path is actually F: That would'nt make a difference would it?

[billpa]

So its path is:

F:\HyperSpin\Media\Frontend\Video\Intro.FLV

[urbecrisch]

Yep, and it has the downloaded video file in the folder.

[urbecrisch]

Got it to work :) I forgot to name the folder FRONTEND and only named it VIDEO. Works now :)

[mountain]

I did the same thing at first. I thought when he wrote 'video' he meant the file. I can't wait to get home from vacation and install the new videos. I am curious to see how the blue looks.

[billpa]

Glad to see it works now. If anybody wants a custom color that I haven't done yet, just let me know.

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

Wow. That intro is pretty awesome! Nicely made.

[GameTech]

Thanks for the video... added it, works nice... Only issue I see is that its not that HQ when I play it.... very decent, but not crystal clear... my res is 1280 x 1024

is it just my setup?

Thanks for video

[billpa]

Its set for 1024 x 768 so yes it will look a fuzzier at that rez. Isn't that a widescreen rez?
