I think he means like a intro video.

I believe this has been asked before if it is the video. You will need to use the search function at the bottom of the forums for that. (I believe i saw it in the script section).

There are some apps around which enable you to play a video before your FPSC game begins.

One of these is called 'Game Cover 2' which comes with instructions showing what to change your game .exe name to and some folders, one of which is 'video'.

As Mickm touched on, you could for example use an application like Fraps to record some in game footage of you playing the game then save it and put the output file in the video folder of GC2. The player would then get to see a demo of your game before playing.

You probably want to have it run on a timer from the main menu but I'm not sure how or if this is possible. I would start by looking into the FPSC scripting commands for playing a video file and using timers then see if you can implement something into your games 'titlepage.fpi'. This can be located in the following directory path once you've build your game

C:\Program Files\TheGameCreators\FPS Creator\MyGames\YourGame\Files\languagebank\english\gamebank\mygame\titlepage.fpi

Always a good idea to use the search function in the forums too as someone has usually thought about trying the same or something similar to you which will be of use.
