CFG files are indexed text-configuration files. They are used for placing fade-in and fade-out effects for videos, and can be found in "master.dat\art\cuts".
Structure[]
The names of CFG files correspond to the name of the MVE file video in which the effects are placed. In the file are text entries like this:
; ; comments are indicated by semi-colons ; [info] ; declares basic info about the effects in the video (word "info" in brackets) total_effects=2 ; declare the total number of fade effects effect_frames=0,250 ; initializes the start frames for the fade effects, separated by comma(s) ; <------------ random semi-colons ; [0] ; effect number 1 (distinguished by start frame number, in brackets) fade_type=in ; only two possible values for this: in or out fade_color=0,0,0 ; red - green - blue values for fade-in or fade-out. Can range from 0 - 63, separated by commas fade_steps=30 ; The number of frames the fade will take place on. Normal movie Frames Per Second (FPS) is 15 [250] ; effect number 2 (distinguished by start frame number, in brackets) fade_type=out ; only two possible values for this: in or out fade_color=0,0,0 ; red - green - blue values for fade-in or fade-out. Can range from 0 - 63, separated by commas fade_steps=30 ; The number of frames the fade will take place on. Normal movie Frames Per Second (FPS) is 15
Notes[]
- So far, all fade effects have been to black (RGB values 0,0,0), and the number of steps is always 30. It might not be possible to change those values (not verified).
Example[]
Taken from afailed.cfg - the effect file for afailed.mve, Hakunin's last spiritual contact with the Chosen One.
; ; movie.cfg ; [info] total_effects=2 ; Total number of fading effects. effect_frames=0,130 ; The frame number each effect will start on. ; ; [0] ; Frame number this effect starts on. fade_type=in ; Fade in or out? fade_color=0,0,0 ; r,g,b value to fade from/to (range is 0-63). fade_steps=30 ; number of steps (frames) this fade takes. [130] ; Frame number this effect starts on. fade_type=out ; Fade in or out? fade_color=0,0,0 ; r,g,b value to fade from/to (range is 0-63). fade_steps=30 ; number of steps (frames) this fade takes.
