video event report instead of text msg

[gpgaulish723]

Got some vids for my project "Exposing of the Empires". How to create event video to emerge step-by-step instead of txt and pic event msg? Please help!

Text event messages are created using:

historic_event event_name true factions { england, }

Where true is optional and makes it a yes/no event, and factions is also optional and makes the event only display for the specified factions. To convert this to an event which plays a video, use this instead:

historic_event event_name event/video_name.bik factions { england, }

Where, again, factions is optional. Make sure you include the video_name.bik file in your mod's data/fmv/event folder.

If you are interested in large size message fields that allow larger then normal (wider) movies do use the descr_event_images file from my Bare Geomod set up.
