Project video file onto a surface

Postby Jim_Partridge on Sat Mar 22, 2014 6:32 pm

Hey!

Im doing a map with a movie theatre section. I need to show a film on the screen.
I want to use a video clip of an old black and white b movie. This would be in the left 4 dead 2 version of source. Can I have people's thoughts on the best way to achieve this?
Please dont tell me it can't be done. I will find a way even if I have to code a new entity...

:)
Cheers for any ideas...

L4D2 doesn't have ability to display bink materials without modifying the code, and the code isn't available unless you've purchased a license.

Here's some of the code you need for older the versions of Source where the code is available.

what you can do is to create an animated texture, but there is no way in hell you can do a whole film with it
