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"

Information, the first principle of warfare, must form the foundation of all your efforts. Know, of course, thine enemy. But in knowing him do not forget above all to know thyself. The commander who embraces this totality of battle shall win even with inferior force.
