Video numbers in quests.

Post by Sappho20 »

I'm trying to write a quest that will replay the into videos for Daggerfall. I have worked out that two of them are:

play video 11 = video that says 'The Imperial Palace Midnight...'
play video 0 = The book opening with Elder Scrolls chapter 2.

I cannot figure out the number to make it play the video where the emperor tells you of your quest in Daggerfall,
I can play videos 0 - 15 and I've entered numbers up to 50 but no joy. Does anyone know if that video can be played? and what number it would be?
Thanks

Hi,

You can't, the quest action allows to display videos named ANIM####.VID, but intro video is called DAG2.VID

Thanks for that, I see it appears to be the only one with a different name. I took DAG2.VID and coppied it and gave one copy the file name ANIM0016.VID and that has fixed the issue. It plays as video 16.
Thanks for your help.
