View Full Version : only 1 out of 6 buttons appear over video

i'm using scenarist to do buttons over video using the guide here at doom9, and have figured out the command that links from the button to the new video, so i'm a-ok with that. my problem is that after the vobs are created, only the very first button shows up and works, buttons 2-6 don't show up; the subtitles are there, but no button is available to select. i setup all six buttons in the same way, so i have no idea why only the first button is showing up.

the code to link to the other short films is below:

{Mov GPRM14, 8194; LinkTailPGC, button=1}

the 8194 goes to 8199 for the rest of the 6 shorts. what exactly does button=1 mean? i tried with all buttons as button=1 as well as assigning each button an individual number, but that didn't work (and since i don't exactly know what it meant, i'm not sure if it would do anything at all.) also, each button has a number 1 in the upper lefthand corner, does that just mean it's number one on the screen and not over the entire vts? finally, each highlight has the value "end time of select" as 00:00:00;00, should that be equal to the duration length of the sub? but this shouldn't be the problem since the first button works while the others do not.

any help at all would be appreciated, and if anyone needs more information to help, just ask.


thanks.

This is the reason I re-author the menu... But the problem could exist with your cell times. Did you add all the cells in, close to their original ifo time? Highlight layer is fine. Your "code" is fine too. I believe the problem exists with the cell times and the subtitle times. When the movie goes to the next cell, the sub disappears and the selection time is over.

I must agree with GM006 it has to be something with the celltimes. I have this problem cery rarely. You have to play with the subtitle times a little bit. Set it somewhat earlier and see what happens. Also check with the original if your buttons times are the same as in the original.
