Playing Smacker Videos

Thane5 edited this page Nov 23, 2022 · 1 revision

Redguard's cinematics are saved on the Play disk as smacker (.smk) video files.

To decode them, we could use something like this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsmacker/

We've also been thinking about remaking the cinematics in "HD" (same visual style, just with more pixels). Remaking the audio of those would be too hard (need voice actors and composers for that), but we also can't just copy the audio from the original cinematics and add them to the new HD video files. A workaround would be to only play the audio from the original files on top of our remade cinematics.
