v0.70 released

[knapman [FD]]

grab from the download page, we are testing the background video feature with this release as we expect it will not be supported for all hardware at this point so we need feedback on graphics cards that it fails on

Some notes:

AVI is the best format to use. Some others are supported but much more buggy. You of course require the relevant codec to be installed.

Referencing the video is the same as FoFiX. Add these tags to the song.ini file:

video = xxxxx.avi
video_start_time = xxxxx
video_end_time = xxxxxx
video_loop = true OR false

These are quite self explanatory. The video path should be relative to the song folder. Start and end times are in milliseconds.

You can also use a default video, placed in the background folder. This is used as fallback when a video is not found.

Im reinstalling all the stuff and going to install the 2010 thing but I thought you guys weren't going to use the 2010 thing yet? is this just a bug?

EDIT
i tried reinstalling everything, and tried installing the 2010 thing, aswell as tried adding the dlls manually(i didnt think it would work.. but thought it was worth a try) so.. im thinking this is an actual bug now...

Can you check that you can run the avi file in the video background directory outside of the game.

Thanks
