SOLVED: I just had to make it into .dds instead of .tga Thank you Malakite
Hello, so I have tried to make this cinematic thing work when Intro starts, so I exported it and made intro.lua in cinematic folder
And when I try launch it this is what happens
This is how it looks like inside intro.lua
Code: Select all
-- cinematic with a title and story text
enableUserInput()
startMusic("assets/samples/music/intro.ogg")
showImage("mod_assets/cinematic/intro.tga")
fadeIn(2)
-- show the title text
sleep(1)
setFont("IntroTitle")
showText("Treasure of Zukania", 3)
sleep(2)
fadeOutText(1)
-- show the story text
sleep(1)
setFont("Intro")
textWriter([[
Many people talk about treasures hidden there...
Worth much much more then whole king's and Queen's treasury
So you and your party of volunteers
have set up for an adventure for gold and fame!
but what if it's just a myth or a legend?
It's up to your party to find it out
]])
click()
fadeOutText(0.5)
fadeOut(4)
fadeOutMusic(3)
I would be glad if someone could have find out what's the problem, if I need to post more details I would gladly do.

Nice spot, I had to fix that up, but error type is still the same though it reffers to working directory now, so it's still unsolved, but you still did good on noticing how one little letter can make it all bad up.

Well this time it said that they didn't find something in mod_assets\cinematics\ instead of mod_assets\cinematic\

I had this same problem. Ultimately, I just nixed the showImage() command. I only wanted a black background anyways.

Only thing I would try is to change the image you are trying to load back to the deafault and see if that is where your problem lies. It looks like the only thing that was changed in your .lua
*Ok so I set mine up to duplicate your error and I got the same error as you until I changed the image I was trying to load into an image saved in a power of 2 size. I originally just used a 1900 x 1200 picture, but then once I resized it to 1024 x 512 the error went away, the text popped up nicely, but the picture wouldnt show
(Also make sure you save the .dds file with either the x1 or argb8 setting)
Anyway check that.

Thanks for reply but it didn't work either. I'm cursed
EDIT: I didn't notice of that format you mentioned, where could I export or what kind of program could make it from .tga into .dds?
EDIT2: I used Paint.net to make it .dds and it didn't crash. Thanks
