Hey. I'm trying to find a way to do Metal Gear Solid codec-style cutscenes by using an external file as a reference. The commands I was trying to implement in my failed attempts basically consist of:

-Change the font color
-Display a message
-Change the left portrait
-Change the right portrait
-Next frame

I then I realized I have absolutely no idea where to go with this. I could just hardcode the cutscenes the game, but that'd make the game a lot bigger and complicate things a bit (I want the cutscenes to change based on the actions the player did in the previous stage). What would be a painless way to implement this?

Oh and I'm using MMF2 Dev.

You could use text blitter i think and active picture.this would allow you to be able to setup the image changes and also change the text in the way you want.

There is an example of this type of thing at the Clickteam website.

Easy!

Use rich edit object and values.

Like

Start of frame
-set value A of (rich edit object) equal 0

Value A of (rich edit object) is equal 0
+user pushes enter

-set value A... equal to 1
-Set text (Metal gear erno: Hey marshal...)

... and so on and there is also possibiliti ty change font/font colour on rich edit.

And same when swapping the pictures, you can use command swap position with other object. (when it is on the right value)

Hope you can understand
