simple media decoding plugin that decodes web pages instead of videos...
See installation instructions at the end of this file.
This means you can do: playfilm berkelium:http://google.com
And you'll get google.com displayed as if it were a cinematic or so.
The engine will pass mouse+keyboard events to such cinematics so you can interact with it.
You can also use the 'videomap' term within a shader, if you want to put some youtube video on a wall or something. Here's an example of such a shader:
muh_bad
{
{
map $lightmap
}
{
videomap berkelium:http://google.com
blendfunc filter
}
}
CSQC is able to interact with videos by:
1: find the name of the shader
string texname = getsurfacetexture(trace_ent, getsurfacenearpoint(trace_ent, trace_endpos));
2: send a key event
gecko_keyevent(texname, keycode, keydown);
3: move the mouse cursor
gecko_mousemove(texname, x, y);
note that the x and y values should be between 0 and 1. Surface resolution is not relevent here.
4: resize the image
gecko_resize(texname, 1024, 1024);
if you're using it in 2d, make sure it matches the pixel width of the screen where it'll be displayed. it'll get fuzzy otherwise.
Size matters. Beware of sites that do not resize images for different resolutions (ie: most of them).
5: you can query the image with:
vector v = gecko_get_texture_extent(texname);
6: you can purge resources with:
gecko_destroy(texname);
this will 'end' the video. when the shader is next displayed it'll reset from the original url.
7: you can change the url with:
gecko_navigate(texname, "http://fteqw.com");
8: you can send it these navigation commands (in the place of a url). You'll likely want a focus command.
cmd:refresh
cmd:transparent
cmd:focus
cmd:unfocus
cmd:opaque
cmd:stop
cmd:back
cmd:forward
cmd:cut
cmd:copy
cmd:paste
cmd:del
cmd:selectall
Compiling the plugin for Windows:
In the berkelium 7z file that you should have already downloaded, there'll be an includes and a lib directory. Stick the contents of both of those in the empty doubled berkelium directory on the fte svn.
The msvc project file should now be usable. You will likely want to change the linker target path to get picked up by the engine automatically.
Windows Installation instructions:
Download Berkelium from here: http://berkelium.org/ (http://github.com/sirikata/berkelium/downloads)
You should get a 7z file that contains a bin directory. Copy the contents of that bin directory to your quake directory.
The FTE-specific plugin 'berkeliumx86.dll' should be placed as 'quake/fte/plugins/berkeliumx86.dll'.
