Scenario tree and navigation commands in scenarist

Daodan · 16th March 2012, 22:07

Hello.
I'm currently stuck in scenarist at the most important part, and where the user guide has 0 information. The navi commands and scenario tree.
So I have made an IG for the menu in designer, have my video and audios everything. I have 1 movie for now, with more audio tracks and subs. In menu I have buttons for play, setup and scene selection. Each directs to the the appropriate page on the IG. And each of these pages has either chapters or audio/sub selection buttons.
First question is: how do I put the state on the default audio/subs as activated on my setup page? Scenarist only lets me select one.
And the most important one: how do I link my audio/sub selection buttons to the stream with those default tracks? I seriously can't find anything about this. The navi commands are cryptic at best.

Also maybe another small question

. In my ming my setup page pop-ups as an additional page over the menu page. In designer I included the buttons from the main page in this page also, but what I'd like is that when pressing the down button that extra page to disappear and menu page to be back (so I don't want those buttons to be active in the setup page).

What would be helpful to probably everyone wanting to learn this program would be a scenarist complete project, which one could dissect and learn from it but I can't seem to find any. Or at least some tutorials that aren't just the very basics which one can pick up from help file.

That's probably a lot more information than anyone would be easily able to write up in one forum post...

Sonic does have sample projects with step-by-step tutorials for building an entire, functional disc with pop-up menus from scratch... I'd suggest starting with those. That will answer all the basic questions you have about authoring with Scenarist.
