Lazarus Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I know from somewhere I could basically make a new textcrawl by basically create one photoshop file and let it go over the screen. I knew there was a tutorial somewhere, but I cant seem to find it. (i dont think this can be changed in strings) ? During my searches, i did find the closing credits in credits.str. With a bit of modding i could rewrite those in a new file and point it to there, am I not mistaken? edit http://forums.filefront.com/sw-jk3-modding-mapping-editing/355327-star-wars-jedi-academy.html Link to comment
IrocJeff Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Here is what I did for my text crawl. http://jkhub.org/topic/2843-ice-station-wampa/?p=39903 The closing credits I think you just edit. If you can find the original credits to the game you can see how they are layed out and seperated. You just have to keep that format from what I recall. Lazarus likes this Link to comment
mrwonko Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 As you mentioned, the opening text crawl is just an image. Replace it. I think it plays depending on the level name (yavin1?), but may also be accessible as a special .roq/video... Link to comment
Lazarus Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Alright, my attempt failed, since it still grabs the old scroll for some odd reason. Now i didnt pk3 it, simply because i am not done yet with the project but i created a new tga file with 512 x 2048. Made an alpha channel and printed on there the text. left the layer with normal text up plus put white over it on a new layer. Saved it as 32 bit tga in a new created menu -> video -> tc_english.tga. Actually I didnt do this with a misc_video, but just used a ref_tag for this, since it does the same. The misc_video even places a model of a camera down, and that didnt work for me, so i decided to do it with a ref_tag. Dropped the lines in my behaved script. /Generated by BehavEd rem ( "Setting up the crawl" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_VIDEO_PLAY", "jk0101_sw" ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ ENABLE ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ PAN, $tag( "introcrawl", ORIGIN)$, < 0.000 0.000 0.000 >, 0 ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ MOVE, $tag( "introcrawl", ORIGIN)$, 0 ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ DISABLE ); rem ( "Setting Up The Players Skills" ); affect ( "player", /*@AFFECT_TYPE*/ FLUSH ) { set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_SABER_THROW", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_SABER_DEFENSE", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_SABER_OFFENSE", /*@[member='SaberBlade83']_STYLES*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_HEAL_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_JUMP_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_SPEED_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_PUSH_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_PULL_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_MINDTRICK_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_GRIP_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_LIGHTNING_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_RAGE_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_PROTECT_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_ABSORB_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_DRAIN_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_FORCE_SIGHT_LEVEL", /*@[member='Force']_LEVELS*/ "0" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_PLAYERMODEL", "prisoner" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_WEAPON", "WP_BLASTER" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_WEAPON", "WP_MELEE" ); set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_ITEM", /*@ITEM_NAMES*/ "INV_ELECTROBINOCULARS" ); } rem ( "Camera Actions" ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ ENABLE ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ MOVE, $tag( "startcam", ORIGIN)$, 0 ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ PAN, $tag( "startcam", ANGLES)$, < 0.000 0.000 0.000 >, 0 ); wait ( 2000.000 ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ MOVE, $tag( "cam_ledge", ORIGIN)$, 4000 ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ PAN, $tag( "cam_ledge", ANGLES)$, < 0.000 0.000 0.000 >, 4000 ); wait ( 4500.000 ); camera ( /*@CAMERA_COMMANDS*/ DISABLE );So far it all works, however, it doesnt grab the new tga file to scroll over when I launch the game after compile or test devmap. Is there a way I can point the game to pick my tga, instead of the old one in the assets? Link to comment

Solution redsaurus Posted January 26, 2015 Solution Share Posted January 26, 2015 yeah, I was going to look at this kind of stuff next - I think your problem is just that you need to put it in a pk3, otherwise the default one is loaded Lazarus likes this Link to comment
Lazarus Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Cheers, looking forward to your new sp tutorials @@redsaurus Link to comment
Lazarus Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yep, it was the pk3 issue. I put all files in a pk3 file, ran an old savegame from me, and voila, it did work with my own textcrawl. cheers! Link to comment
afi Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 You could also do a .roq or move the text in a menu Link to comment
Tempust85 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The opening crawl is a TGA which only gets played by running the menu command "uiScript startgame". Just an FYI - the last frame of the STAR WARS roq is used as the background for the opening crawl. Link to comment

Make sure you space your wording so if fills the space of each line, like they did in the movies. It makes it look much better than having indentations to end each line. Link to comment

I actually didnt, I tried it, didnt liked how it looked in the crawl, so i went just with the regular entering, I think it looks more "me" that way. Link to comment
