Intro Movies

(1/4) > >>

nectere:
Has anyone figured out how to make the neighborhood intro movies yet as seen in the base neighborhoods i.e Pleasantview etc? I assume its the reia file? I cant find any info on how to work with this file type or what it does.

Nihale:
I think it's just the fancy thumbnail in the menu. I deleted the one from Pleasantview and it still does the flyby when I go into the 'hood.

baratron:
Don't you do it by hitting "video" mode while in the Neighbourhood? I think you pretty much need a custom camera to be able to swoop over the Neighbourhood smoothly rather than getting stuck in the streets.

Venusy:
It's the .reia file in the N00X (1 to 3) folders. Unfortunately, no one seems to know how to open them or make them. You could try copying and renaming if it's an alternate reality 'hood...

shc:
I am sorry for commiting necromancy.

I've been scanning threads in order to learn how to make my own 'intro movies' and the only info i can find shows that;

a) The intro is not actually a 'movie' but a pre-scripted cam motion, sort of like the special event camera.
b) The .reia file is what is responsible for this pre-scripted cam motion.
c) No-one knows how to make this said .reia file because they don't know the program that creates it and an internet search only brings up links about something real estate related.

However when I did my own google search, if you look amongst the real estate and the sims 2 who, what, where reia links I happened to find some links about a programming language called Reia. I have no idea if this has any relation to the .reia file in sims 2 as I know sweet f all about programming and languages and whatnot. But I thought that maybe someone in the sims 2 modding community who is knowledgeable about such stuff may be interested in the links, so I hope you don't mind if I post them here.
