Using VLC as an alternate cutscene video player
« on: June 16, 2023, 11:49:53 pm »
I was having some issues with the default movie player changing the screen resolution and such, and after much trial and error I came up with an option that plays the videos using VLC instead.  This part goes under the
Code: [Select]
[PRACX] section in
Code: [Select]
Alpha Centauri.ini.

Code: [Select]
MoviePlayerCommand="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --play-and-exit --fullscreen --video-on-top --no-autoscale --zoom=2 --dummy-quiet --intf=dummy --mouse-hide-timeout=500 --key-toggle-fullscreen='' --key-leave-fullscreen='' --key-pause='' --key-play-pause='' --key-quit=Esc --no-osd"

War is war.. destruction is destruction. You think this is obvious. But war is not destruction, it is victory. To achieve victory, simply appear to give your opponent what he wants and he will go away, or join you in your quest for additional power.
