[SOLVED] Pause movie on last frame?

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

Is it possible to play a movie, then have it display the last frame/ pause, until the player clicks to continue? The video I'm using has a date on it, and I don't want it to disappear once the movie is done - It's important that the player can read the date.

I've previously worked around this by displaying an image of the last frame after the movie until the player clicks to continue, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do this so I don't need to add a bunch of images?

Thanks

The video's playback system in renpy is not as advanced, unfortunately. So image only, yet. (Anyway, it's easier to do than trying to rewrite a standard code).
Another idea that comes to mind: use the animation at the end of the video, i.e. several interchangeable images to smooth the overall impression.

actually, you can do this. just pass the `image` parameter...

An image that is displayed when play has been given, but the file it refers to does not exist. (For example, this can be used to create a slimmed-down mobile version that does not use movie sprites.) Users can also choose to fall back to this image as a preference if video is too taxing for their system. The image will also be used if the video plays, and then the movie ends.

so...

Code: Select all

image the_movie = Movie(play="movie_name.webm", image="end_frame.png")

Ah, so it's not quite possible. Good to know.

This is cool and I didn't know it was possible I just added a loop=False so it actually shows the end frame:

Code: Select all

image chapter1 = Movie(play="movies/chapter1.webm", image="movies/chapter1end.png", loop=False)

However, this method doesn't work with my ATL transform (zoom fade), but it will with a standard dissolve.
