How to add a splash video to be displayed on game startup (2 methods)


This tutorial shows you how to add a splash/logo video to be displayed when the game is launched. There are currently two methods available for adding a splash video. Personally I recommend using method 2 as it's a lot more flexible.

Tutorial

Method 1: the built-in intro movie option

1. Click on Game25 new.png on the main menu bar to open up the game properties tab.

2. Navigate to the Into Movie field & open up the file selection dialog by clicking on this Open dialog icon.png button.

After you've done sorting out those images, open up the interface section of the editor & create a new interface. Now open up the properties for the interface & assign the image with the transparent background you created to the background image section. Tick the show interface permanently option & set displacement to absolute. Don't forget to set the class to something like miscellaneous. & that's it for that, you can now feel free to close the properties tab.

Quick note #1: You may also want to create a temporary image the same size of your game default resolution with a solid color as it makes it easier to draw the interface area when you can see exactly what you are working with.
Quick note: #2: You can create custom classes for interfaces with the explorer tool (ctrl/⌘ + e). I think we need to create documentation for the explorer tool, sorry for the inconvenience.
