[Feature] Potential UI function or direct option in-editor for rendering Video Files on Screens? #575

Open MisterSirCode opened 3 weeks ago

MisterSirCode commented 3 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem (if not, explain why you think this feature should be added)? Please describe.

I recently got back into teardown modding, and while adding a screen to my world, I was disappointed to find out that apparently screens cant render actual videos... Which seems rather counter-intuitive.. Whats the point of a TV if it cant render an actual TV? I tried asking around but no one had any alternatives other then per-frame rendering of images, which is memory / storage intensive and buggy at best.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if there was a convenient function which could input the deltatime / starttime / speed and render a video file as a sprite / image, adapting per frame based on the speed.

Or better yet, for convenience, a simple option for screen elements to be able to take in a video file as an alternative to a script.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Ive looked at script-generating videos, similarly to how the campaign levels do it, but they heavily limited the creative control, and I simply lack the skills and complexity with the UI elements to be able to render what I want to render. Being able to simply plug in a common media format and run them internally would make things far more convenient.
