Title: The REIA file is editable Post by: Mizz Rose Bud on 2006 November 01, 17:36:59 Pescardo, you wrote
Quote Not that I know about. It's definitely a static flyby, though, because you can transplant the REIA into another neighborhood, and it will still display the original flyby in this thread : http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,151.50.htmlI just donīt know how it can be done, but I downloaded this file http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=106552 and suddenly the flyby movie showed a winter landscape in Pleasantview instead of the normal green. So the REIA file showed the actual hood and not some pre recorded movie ....... There must be a way to edit or maybe make our own REIA movies ... how ??? ??? ??? Rose Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 November 01, 18:56:41 Maybe ask the person who did the snow thing. I don't know of anyone who's been able to make .reia movies though.
Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: Mizz Rose Bud on 2006 November 01, 19:36:54 I donīt think that it have anything to do with the "hood-mod" ... but the REIA movie did show the changes I had made in the hood ... but I havenīt head of anyone who have managed create or change the REIA file(s) ... anyway, if the game can change it, then we can also change it ...
The reason why Iīm posting it here, is that I do believe that some of the guys in here have a better change to figure it out, than I have :P Iīm really not looking for any answers, itīs more that I hope that someone would take up the challenge ;) Rose Title: Re: The REIA file is not editable Post by: Venusy on 2006 November 01, 21:23:25 Are you sure that was the .REIA and not the neighbourhood drift feature?
Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: Mizz Rose Bud on 2006 November 01, 22:38:07 Yep ... Iīm sure ... but you can test it your self ... just download the file and place it in your Downloads folder and enter Pleasantview
Rose Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: Gwill on 2006 November 01, 22:44:46 There's no .reia in those downloads.
The reia file is the preview you see *before* you enter the neigbourhood. What you see is the neigbourhood drift. Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: twojeffs on 2006 November 02, 00:37:47 Yes, the .reia file is the 'movie' that plays in the button for that hood on the hood selection screen. After the hood loads it's just doing the flyby and the drift, which has nothing at all to do with the .reia file.
I agree that there must be a way to edit those, but only if Maxis/EA releases their program since it is apparently custom. Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: Mizz Rose Bud on 2006 November 02, 06:52:54 Darn ... >:( you were right and I was wrong :-\ Sorry guys
I removed the .reia and the flyby was still there ??? I really did believe that the flyby was part of the .reia file ... oh well, better luck next time I guess ::) Rose Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: cwykes on 2006 November 02, 07:19:35 So has Metroid Menace just given the existing flyby snow terrain, or has he figured out how to make new flyby's?
Title: Re: The REIA file is editable Post by: Mizz Rose Bud on 2006 November 02, 07:26:48 I think that the flyby just show whatīs in the hood at the time you load ... but Iīm not really sure anymore :(
The download "just" exchange the grass terrain with snowy terrain. Rose this is going to annoy me the rest of the |
