Cut Scenes Thread

How would one insert cut scenes in avi format into Quake 3 or Half life. And also how to make cutscenes with in-game models and maps. This includes readable dialouge on screen at the same time.

worldcraft:
func_move
func_turn
func_<animation name>
and then theres that one ent
like
cutscene

I recommend reading up on machinima (using the game engine to create movies) since I don't think you can put an AVI straight into the game, at least not in HL.

Planethalflife.com can be quite helpful

For Q3A, you can use the movie command in the console. Cutscenes are used in the ROQ format. You can convert the AVI to ROQ by extracting all of the frames and the soundtrack and inputting it into id's little RoQ producing program available at their FTP..

HL has it impossible.

I'll try to add AVI support in CheapHack when development on 1.55h is started.
