Question

Hi all,

 

I have been wondering for years how I can go about getting and converting the cutscenes for Rebellion. I am on XP and have not played the game since I left Windows 98. I still have the CD and would like to rip and convert the cinematic cutscenes. Can anyone help me please?? Thanks!

Bink player should play them, but I don't know about converting them.

Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Bink can convert them, but the only files that look large enough for video is in the MDATA folder on the CD. However, they are listed as MDATA.001, MDATA.003, etc. Nothing I have seen looks like a Bink file.

 

Thoughts on how I can get Bink to play them? Thanks for the quick response.

I have converted some of them for the remake. I used BINK and RADTOOLS . There is an option tool to uncompress back into original AVI which is about 1 gigabyte from the compressed SMK original. Then recompress with a common codec such as MPEG4.

 

MDATA.001 whatever (some are WAV music). Change the extension from .001 to .SMK to look like MDATA001.SMK

Smacker video is part of the RAD Tools stuff. You can uncompress and compress with it.

 

 

Additional info for creating movies for Rebellion:

--------------------------------------------------

 

-The movies have to have a certain resolution, depending

on which movie you want to replace.

 

MDATA.000 640x480 (Lucasarts logo)

.001 640x324 (opening crawler)

.003 640x324 (enter the Alliance)

.004 640x324 (enter the Empire)

.005 640x324 (credits)

.101 640x324 (Deathstar fires)

.102 640x324 (Rebel HQ destroyed)

.103 640x324 (Rebels take Coruscant)

.104 640x324 (Deathstar sabotage)

.105 640x324 (Alliance destroys Imp command ship)

.106 640x324 (Alliance: you lose)

.107 640x324 (Empire: you lose)

.108 640x324 (Empire destroys Rebel command ship)

.201 640x324 (succesful trench run)

.202 640x324 (unsuccesful trench run)

 

.300 wav open music option screen

.301 wav empire player background music

.302 wav empire player background music

.303 wav empire player background music

.304 wav rebel player background music

.305 wav rebel player background music

.306 wav rebel player background music

.307 wav before battle Empire attacks Alliance player

.308 wav after battle Alliance victory as Rebel player

.309 wav music Rebel player loses battle.

.310 wav imperial march where?

.311 wav imerial march variance where?

.312 wav imerial march variance where?

.313 wav before battle Alliance attacks Empire player

.314 wav after battle victory as Empire player

.315 wav after losing battle as Empire player

 

Movies that require 640x324 can also be replaced by 640x480 movies,

but then 1 or 2 seconds of the beginning won't be played. You'll hear

the sound, but the video will be blank.

 

-also the movies must be encoded with 256 colors ! If you're

not sure how to do this, simply point smacker's palette to an original

movie on your Rebellion cd :)

 

-Rebellion doesen't seem to care about the framerate, so you can either

use the original 15fps, or the 25fps PAL, or 29fps NTSC.

 

-Since the original movies differ in their data-rate, I think that's not

something you need to consider as well. If you want to bring the size down

you can try the value 170906 (from the first original movie) as a specific

data rate.

 

 

As always, have fun !
