Using VLC as an alternate cutscene video player
« 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"

It is not uncommon to see patients undergo permanent psychological trauma in the presence of the Sphere, before the nerve stapler has even been strapped into position. Its effect on the general consciousness of the culture is profound: husbands have seen wives go inside, and mothers their children. Dr. Xynan left the surface of the sphere semitranslucent for a reason. You can hear them in there.. you can see them. It is a thing of terrible beauty.
~Baron Klim 'The Music of the Spheres'
