.bik animations [Solved]

April 11, 2017 4:16:27 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Has anyone had any luck getting a single .bik animation file to work in GC3? This is a single animation to replace the two (background and forground), .bk2 animations.

 

EDIT: I got it to work, what I had to do was open up RAD video and re-bink it into a .bk2 file. This did seem to degrade the animations quality a little as I do believe that my version of RAD isn't really set up for .bk2 animations. But, it is working for now.

Just curious - does "re-bink" mean your version of the RAD tools does support .bk2?

 

My understanding from earlier threads was that this format is not available publicly, only for devs (but, as a workaround ppl found they could just rename bik into .bk2 to get it to work in GC III)

 

Just wondering if we can really do .bk2 vids now.

Renaming to .bk2, and then binking the animation is all I did and it's been working fine for me.
