Startup Videos

[amos_82]

I was just messing around with the theme.ini; and realised that you can have a specific video play on startup.

So if you have a video which you want to associate with a theme, you can just add this to the theme.ini:

StartupVideo=C:\Program Files\GameEx\Intro Videos\Your Video.avi

There's loads of stuff you can customise from the GameEx.ini (in the config folder), like the toolbar behaviour, resolution, loading screens, hide buttons, all sorts. It might be obvious to some, but i think its cool

Hi Amos, yes I actually modifed your alpha themes I put on the GameEx site to do that before uploading them. If you download and look and them, yourll see it uses a relative path to the video to

And yes the theme customisation is very powerfull, "almost" all settings can be put into theme.ini.

In the gameex code, theme.ini kind of acts as an override.

Thanks for doing that Tom. I feel like a dumbass i didn't realise it had changed because i rename the downloaded versions, which threw out the startup video line in the theme.ini.
