Heya!
Got a problem. I made a .bik intro movie for a map I am working on, and would like to pack it with the map so players playing the map for the first time will be presented with the map intro movie.
I am mostly following this tutorial: https://tf2maps.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-make-an-intro-movie.12/
Locally, everything works, Movie plays just fine. It's the fact that it doesn't play when I pack it that causes problems!
My process looks like this:
1. Compile the map using CompilePal
2. Open up VIDE
3. Pack .bik file under /media
4. Save
However, this does not work as when I download and launch the map, no intro movie happens. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with "viewed.res" either since I scrubbed the map from the list entirely, meaning the game thinks it's my first time playing it, thus granting me access to the movie.
Any idea?
EDIT: I got hit by the Mandela effect. You can not pack any map intro movies into a .bsp and have them work. Pain.
