Title: Using VLC as an alternate cutscene video player
Post by: Sarke on June 16, 2023, 11:49:53 PM

I was having some issues with the default movie player changing the screen resolution and such, and after much trial and error I came up with an option that plays the videos using VLC instead.  This part goes under the

Code: [Select]

[PRACX] section in

Code: [Select]

Alpha Centauri.ini.

Code: [Select]

MoviePlayerCommand="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --play-and-exit --fullscreen --video-on-top --no-autoscale --zoom=2 --dummy-quiet --intf=dummy --mouse-hide-timeout=500 --key-toggle-fullscreen='' --key-leave-fullscreen='' --key-pause='' --key-play-pause='' --key-quit=Esc --no-osd"
