point_clientui_world_panel
is a point entity available in Half-Life: Alyx.
Entity description
Creates a Panorama-type panel that can be used to display videos in-game
Notes
In mods/custom maps, all files used in panorama must be placed in the following folder structure:
Half-Life Alyx/game/hlvr_addons/<mod name>/panorama/videos/<name of file>.webm
NOTE: as opposed to text-files, video-files are not compiled as part of the map build, rather they are played directly from the source. Due to this, movies should be saved in the directory Half-Life Alyx/game-folder, rather than the Half-Life Alyx/content-folder, which contains uncompiled files.
From here on out, files can then be accessed in the object by referring to file://{resources}/layout/custom_game/<name of file>.webm as the "Source Movie"-variable
NOTE: filenames must all be in lowercase, as uppercase letters will not be recognized by the object
Only .webm-files are recognized. There may also be additional requirements for specific encoders and codecs used to encode video.
