Id to send the opcode to play a movie

[stoneharry]

Basically I am replacing the long boring intro on login to the wraith gate cinematic.
In character handler I have made this:

    if(plr->m_FirstLogin)
    {
        uint32 introid = 22031; // cant find correct id for wraith gate

#ifdef USING_BIG_ENDIAN
        swap32(&introid);
#endif
//        OutPacket(SMSG_TRIGGER_CINEMATIC, 4, &introid); // don't need this - were using movie not cinematic
        OutPacket(SMSG_TRIGGER_MOVIE, 4, &introid); // no idea if this will work  - my fail C++ skillz

Basically changed the intro id and the opcode.
I have no idea what the "4" in the opcode means though.

Browsing through loads of DBC's I have come up with a list of about 5 possible id's, playing them through this code all of them did not work.
I'm asking if anyone knows the correct Opcode formula or the correct id for the wraith gate cinematic.

DBCs I have browsed and looks possible:

- CinematicCamera
- CinematicSequences
- Move
- MovieFileData
- MovieVariation
- FileData

The movie ones + file data seem to be the ones most likely to have the id, but I cant seem to get it to work! Probably my fail C++ skills.

Thanks in advance.
Also I figured to post in here since this is more to do with emulation than DBC editing (model editing section).

So what exactly happens? You say you can't get it to work, does it just skip the intro completely, or does it black out, or something else?

IDs for SMSG_TRIGGER_MOVIE can be found in Movie.dbc (first column). The one you're looking for is 14.

I tried 14 and the only thing that happened was it went straight into game (didn't play the movie/intro or anything). =/
Same problem with all the id's I have tried (sorry for long time reply i was asleep )

Well, the ID is correct (tested with mangos debug command) so something else must be wrong. You might need to move it down to the bottom of the login function to let the character completely load first.

Alright - Know I know 14 is the exact id I can play around with it easier, +Rep

Edit: Once you get in game, the sound does not work at all and the mouse dissapears. The rest is normal, any ideas?
I cant even get it to play in game using: ".debug sendpacket SMSG_TRIGGER_MOVIE 4 14" and variations of this

Edit2: It appears my DBC's are not up to date or something since it's not in that DBC only the WoW main intro and logo.

See screenshot of my DBC file (for 3.1 and 3.0.9 it's same what I extracted so far)

Mine looks the same and it works for me (in mangos), even tested at login.

Anyway, I just checked arcemu source code and it's a bit different, it looks like you need to use OnPushToWorld() in Player.cpp.

So try add the opcode after if(m_FirstLogin) { in OnPushToWorld() and see if it works. It's probably the same in aspire/hearthstone if you're using that.

EDIT:
there's already an existing function for playing movies: SendTriggerMovie(), you should use it.

ok thanks again - I'll give it a shot.
