Lycanthropy/Vampirism sequences.

Post by Arl »

Hi, It seems Daggerfall Imaging 2 (Great tool by the way) doesn't show all of the graphics assets that are included in the game. I know some videos are in the Arena2 folder in the FLC and CEL format, but not all (like the intro with the Emperor and Ocato) and I'm interested in the Lycanthropy and Vampirism sequences that plays during rest after you are infected.


Is there any way to get access to this data somehow? is for remaking proposals.

The VID file format is pretty well understood. I was one of the first to start breaking apart the format way back, but it was mainly completed by Andux, Corroded Coder, and Dave Humphrey.

I haven't written a video player for the tools yet, as it requires Render Textures, a feature that until Unity 5 was available only to paying Pro users. Now that render textures are available to all, I can put this on my roadmap. Can't say when it will be ready though.

I'm sure there was a video player out there somewhere, written by Andux I think. I haven't been able to track it down for you however. :(

Thanks for the info Interkarma!, I'm so lost with this that any data is enlightening.

Searching .VID and Andux I manage to find an interesting thing called Openscrolls:

https://github.com/tamentis/openscrolls


It looks great!, but sadly I'm unable to make it work, I will asume that those .py archives are python files, right?

So close, yet so far... ...I don't know how to use this.

Andux had the specs on his site, which sadly now appears to be gone along with host Svatopluk (another classic site bites the dust). Here's the full VID file format from Wayback Machine. I have this information cached at my end as well.

Openscrolls looked like an interesting project, but again sadly abandoned. Daggerfall seems to attract a lot of programmers then eat them whole. It's like one of those Mimics in D&D. Looks like a chest full of goodies, then... om-nom.

I'm actually looking forward to writing a VID player for Unity one day. Will be an interesting project. :)
