Is it possible to get away with making an intro to a game with BYOND? Full motion or even slideshow style?

Should be in Dev How-to imo. The short answer to your question is yes
|
You can embed a flash video in a browser control.

I haven't done this yet with my project, but I plan to. My strategy will be to:
- Not place the mob on the map until the intro sequence is done. - As part of the state variable, keep track of where the player is with regard to the intro sequence. - Display all intro stuff via the client screen (the same way I already handle menus). Although I haven't done this yet, I can't imagine any reason it wouldn't work. | |
Keep in mind that as long as you have a map included in the project, the mob will be added to the map, at coordinates 1,1,1 unless otherwise defined.
| |
Since this happens in the parent call of mob/Login(), it can follow something like this:
mob/Login() | |
Ah yes, you are correct. I've been setting my mob location to null and using map and battle avatars instead, so I forgot about that.
But my idea works if amended to set the player's location to null at the start. | |
Just outta curiosity, wouldn't it be easier to just have a window popup with the images and buttons you desire? That way (if you have an edited skin) you can hide the stat tabs and output (if they exist)
