Can ROQ's be mapped onto a texture (for skins)?

[Omicron]

Is it possible to map an ROQ onto a texture for a skin either by having the .skin file point to it directly, or by doing it via a shader? Part of me seems to remember an ROQ being mapped on a texture for a saber blade, but can't really remember fully what it was.

And if you can, what shader stage keywords could you use/not use with it (if any)?

It is possible to have ROQ videos play on models - and pretty much anything else in the game. Try the shader 'textures/video/raven' for example and it'll play the Raven opening sequence. You can find the code for that video shader in one of the shader files (I can't remember which).

Thanks Ditz! So can you also map .efx files onto models with shaders, or is that just not possible?

I think there is a shadercommand to do with surfaceFx which might work, as it does for sprites.

Thanks! Will try when I get home on Friday

Oh, and if the ROQ has sound, would the sound also be played if it was on a skin?

No.
