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"

Now it's day and night the irons clang, and like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die, must fill dishonored graves
But some dark night, when everything is silent in the town
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll gun the flogger down
I'll give the land a little shock, remember what I say,
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.
~'Jim Jones', Traditional
