Sudden color change is one thing, sudden PALETTE change is a whole different thing.
#Command and conquer renegade divx error movie#
I managed to fix it by removing a few frames from the fade-in at the beginning of the movie though.Īnd, uhm. one frame was dark, and the next a bright yellow flash occured, that faded to white Well, not as if I could choose where a sudden colour change in the movie occured. 150 kb JPEG for an image like that? Use PNG, man! Take a look at the size of the dialog screen I posted in the first post, less than 8 kb and it's LOSSLESS! Jpeg isn't cut out for images like this, even GIF would be a better option. Get the new version and see how it works out.Īlso, a little friendly advice for posting dialog screenshots like this one. Also I believe AKIRA.VQA, ion cannon striking a nod base shows a similar thing. Even a couple of C&C movies show what happens when you change palette in the middle of a key sequence, IIRC the NOD movie with the cyberspace soldiers braking into the ion cannon system is one of those, you can at one point se the colors graying out momentarily. Due to the nature of the VQAs it isn't possible for 8 frames to have each its own palette and making different UGM files for UGM parts won't do the trick. If the palette is changed in the middle of a frame group, the encoder will do its best to remap the colors. That is: only changing palettes each 8,16,24,32,etc frames. I specifically noted, several times, that you should change palettes on an 8 frame (if KEY is 8, which it should be for C&C/RA1 movies) basis. That fixes the issue a bit although visual outcome will vary with how much palettes differ. I noticed you use the old beta version, if you look at the first post, you'll find that I've uploaded the newer beta 2 version, which also remaps frames that have differing palettes (if they aren't on a 8 frame boundary) to the current palette. when there's a palette switch within the sequence of 8 frames, some of the frames well be messed up because they got the wrong palette.Ĭan't you make a method in which you can make several UGM files for each part of the movie (with dfferent palettes), and then combine those to one VQA? I was able to perfectly make the movie with the old method though. and the UGM file stayed just a couple of kb, without any further increase of filesize. I opened my task manager, and t even said it used 0% CPU.
I don't think you'll ever use up all 100 palettes like I did, especially since it impacts the VQP size largely, but I figured a warning is in order. If your VQP turns out larger than 3.13 MB, you're in for trouble. This most likely has to do with the fact the VQP is preloaded and they can get large, so they limited the amount of memory it can have. I did a little research and found out that the game supports a maximum number of 100 palettes in a single VQA.
C&C Gold, however crashed seconds before the movie's end. I encoded a small clip of 1500 frames and created a new palette every 16 frames and the VQA worked fine in the players. On a side note, I think I've come across an internal limitation of C&C Gold. Is the movie within 640x400 resolution or is it perhaps much larger? Framerate? Reencode the movie into xvid or divx, and try again.Īlso, you're not telling me enough again.
#Command and conquer renegade divx error 32 bit#
It also appears to produce an alpha channel and that would be my guess for the reason it's not working - 3ds max is probably writing 32 bit RGBA data instead of 24 bit RGB, the latter appears to be the only uncompressed format that works. 3ds max doesn't specifically ask for a codec, IIRC. Then it's probably uncompressed avi, especially if it's a huge file. Ii dont know anything at all about codecs!Īll i know is that it's a avi file created by 3ds max.
