HOW does one reliably do this? I remember looking at the WAD and the graphic for this looks like a HOM, but each 1 unit sized linedef is aligned to animated the whole thing when scrolling as a mini-movie. Will this ever be solved? This would be so cool to abuse. Attaching the WAD in question: Attachment Deleted |

The process to create a video like this is: - Take the individual stills of the video you want to represent.
- Split them into 1px-wide vertical slices.
- For each set of slices across all frames (first slice of each frame, second slice of each frame, etc.):
Arrange the slice from each frame of video right-to-left in a texture. - Create your "holovideo screen" by arranging the textures you created above side-by-side in 1px linedefs and using the scroll effect. If you want the screen visible from both sides, do not apply a backside midtexture and instead use additional linedefs.
Additional note: To save on total textures used, you may choose to arrange multiple strips vertically in the texture and use Y-offsets to select which "slice set" applies to a particular linedef. This is what the author of TRUCK.WAD did. Of course, if *real* Vanilla video playback is what you're after, there's always this... |

Thank you very much for the explanation! I really appreciate your post since I've wanted it for so long. I might not clearly understand it still right now but at least I have something real to go off of. Now to find something to animate, maybe a test switching between two or three different images would be good start. Having them linger too to look like an automatic desktop background changing cycle.

I've wondered about that holovid thing for years.. Nice to finally know the answer!
