Im hoping someone here has heard of Bink by Radgames. It is a FMV tool for games that has been used for years by most games companies as the FMV tool of choice. Anyway as I have asked in the newbees section can DB open and run a Bik file?

Cheers
Luke

I doubt it, but you can make the BIK file into a exe. You can then have DB run the exe, wait until the video is over and go on.

I did it once for my NWN module.

I think it would cost a packet to license it... Why not contact the Bink people and find out ?

Bink and Smackplay (Smacker) can be got for free from this address:

http://www.smacker.com

Darkbasic can use these files as I have tried them and they work.

Er... I may have got it wrong over if Darkbasic can use them.

Better check first.

Sorry for that.

Its not free
the player of the vidoes is free
but you need to buy a Bink SDK for your games
and its cost 5,000 for a game

The tools are free, it costs money for the SDK to have the BIK files to run in your game.

Bioware has a good tut on how to use it.

The SDK costs a pretty penny, but beyond that the rest is free.
