Scripting to play bik movie

[hitokiri2486]

Hey all,

I'm trying to script the movie that plays in Kingdoms Crusades when you capture Jerusalem into my own personal mod. The movie won't play however, and I'm not sure why. Here is part of the script that I have (setting counters plus what happens if England captures Jerusalem):

set_counter Jerusalem_Ireland 0
historic_event jerusalem_jerusalem event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik

end_monitor

As far as I can tell, this script is pretty valid. The historic event is correct too, I have in historic_event.txt the jerusalem_jerusalem event exactly as written above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Edit: Okay, I've tried a different script that's a lot more compact, but the result is still the same--no .bik movie playing. Here are the counters plus one script run, when England takes over Jerusalem:

declare_counter jerusalem_catholic
declare_counter jerusalem_islam
declare_counter jerusalem_rebel
set_counter jerusalem_rebel 1

;;; England capture Jerusalem
monitor_event I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = england
and I_CompareCounter jerusalem_catholic = 0

set_counter jerusalem_catholic 1
set_counter jerusalem_islam 0
add_events
event historic jerusalem_catholic
date 0 0
movie event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik
end_add_events
;;; historic_event jerusalem_catholic event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik

end_monitor

So, why is this not playing? Any help would be appreciated.

Well on your second example you forgot to put an event. You're using "monitor_event" and you just stated a condition "I_SettlementOwner". You also might want to have the "movie" line above the "date" line. I assume that you have also added the "fmv" folder to your mod folder? If not you should probably do so, have it in "YourMod/data/fmv/event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik".
