still menu timeout scenarist

[simpleknight]

I am new to this board, and I assume that this question is answered somewhere out there, but I couldn't find it.

Here's what I need to do:

for every menu I make in the title I'm building, I want there to be a 3 minute timeout. Then, I want to be able to jump out of whatever VTS I'm in and go to the top menu in the main language folder. So far, I have not been able to figure this out.

Any help is appreciated,

SK

In the pre commands for your menu PGC that you will have a 3-minute time limit on, set SPRM 9 and SPRM 10 for a navigation timeout.

SPRM 9's default value is 0. When it is set to a non-zero value, it becomes a countdown timer, decrementing by 1 every second. When it reaches 0, the player will jump to the PGC number stored in SPRM 10.

The navigation timer works only in the title domain (VTS). It doesn't work in the VMG.

I pretty much figured out what yousuggested. The only difference is in the part afterwards.

For each menu, I set up a pre that calls the navigation timer. Then, I have it jump to a PGC with a menu in it, but I use the pre for that menu to link out of the VTS to the language folder in the VMG.

This may not be ideal, but I only have to author for one model of DVD player, so as long as it works on that (which it seems to) that's all that I will need.

I still can't get over the fact that Scenarist 2.6 doesn't have an undo function. It has forced me to save as after every significant change (which I suppose I should do anyway), but it puts me on pins and needles!
