Is it possible to make new characters for the ecoms so that you can make entirely new characters talk?

Also, how do you make a picture load at the beginning of a level, and can you make your own picture to be used in that screen?

It is not possible to make new characters for the ecoms, as the graphics for each are stored in the appropriate "htdata" file that you installed with the game prc.

As far as the cut scene images, here is a quote from a previous thread regarding exactly that:
claxbane wrote:

Here are the available cut scene images:

andyjana.rbm
desertforbox.rbm
explosion.rbm
galaxite.rbm
monolith.rbm
orbitshot4.rbm
replicator.rbm

To use, use the Cut Scene action, then in the text for the cut scene do this (for example):

<img explosion.rbm>What a cool explosion!

In one Cut Scene action you can put multiple img tags and it'll know to show each in its own form.


Unfortunately, you likewise cannot create new cut scene images, for the same reason given above.

I used the Blank or Anonymous and prefixed the message with different things in the text. Here are some texts.

Squad A: Sir, enemy hostiles are overrunning our position.
Mike: I'll get that built in a jiffy.

Yeah, I did that kind of thing too, although it's "Andy in." or "Unit One in."
