STW movie sequences

I've been working on a Historical Campaign for Shimazu Yoshihisa in STW/WE and I wanted to add a mpeg movie sequence as an intro for one of the battles. However, when the movie plays in the game it positions itself in the top left hand corner of the screen and not in the center like the default movies. Anyone out there with any experience designing add-ons, that could give me any insight as to what is wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks

Hello JA2474,

I recognize the problem. Here's the bit I still recall:

-there are large (640) and small (320) movies.

The small movies align left, the larger ones are 'centered'.

-there are also 2 moviefolders. "X.mpg" will load the movie in dir Movies. "../EvAnims/X.mpg" will load the movie in dir EvAnims.

I'm pretty sure that it's possible to get the small movie 'centered', but I forgot what did it. You could try to put a black box around a small movie to make it a large one.

You may find some useful info in these old notes:
