The Mediapool |
The Mediapool contains all your mediafiles that you add to your project. You can create folders. All images, sounds ect will stay at their location, only when you create or export your project the files will be copied.
All imported files will be saved within "My documents" in the folder "Point & Click DK".
File format recommendations: :
Images : For all images without transparent areas you should use JPG. Otherwise you should use PNG. Gif files are only useful if you want to create retro looking graphics with no filtering.
Sounds : OGG files are smaller and better than mp3s.
Music : Also OGG files. You can also use Tracker files (IT, MOD, XM) which are much smaller in most cases. If you dont know what a tracker file is, Google is your friend.
Video : When playing movies the game will use the codecs present on the running system Which means you should use a very common codec like H264 or WMV9.
You can add pictures with Drag'n'Drop to your characters, objects ect. It is also possible to drag sounds into characters and objects. In this case a scriptline with a playsound command will be added to the selected frame. Music and movies can only be used via scriptcommand.
You can sort your files by right clicking on them and select cut and paste.
The maximum number of images, sounds, musicfiles and videos is 15000.
