We have it working in our mod for replace a model's texture with a video. It is a bit tricky in this respect because you have to pre-design your uv to work with it, but it would be easy to translate it to just draw a quad in the world with that as the texture; Referring to IBIK. It isn't that hard.

Totally agree. These projects always seem to have a 2 week argument about licenses - which ultimately achieves nothing. You're not gonna take someone to court because they downloaded your map compiling tool and have hex edited your name in the About dialogue to theirs. Who cares?? "Hey guys I have

Really just depends on your ethics. If you don't care what others do with it, choose the WTFPL or something. If you want to give big freedom, but still credits a BSD-style licence is good. If you want to force others to pass on the freedom, a GPL-style licence is good. On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 9:47

You actually shouldn't need to even use avikit.. since the engine has loading of avi's AND bink videos. preferably you would want to use bink anyway as you wouldn't need to worry about codecs. loading a bink video actually returns a material anyway, and there is an actual 'bik' shader for drawing
