Wow, looks promising but I guess it would be better to use this as a test layout and rebuild the map with static meshes.
There's a scene manager so you could make an intro using camera paths, but typical matinée controls don't work (no fade ins or outs, no effects, etc.), so your best option will to record the in-game sequence and then edit it in Movie Maker, Sony Vegas etc.

This looks like an impressive mess of brushes and static meshes, no wonder T3Ed gets quirky. Good luck, though, Ironeagle and Nomad, I think artistic approaches like this would be a useful or even necessary addition for FM making in general

I'm working on a new ibt/cbt optimizer. Not "RIGHT NOW" though, this was a while back. I assumed there wouldn't be much interest, but the subject of mission archive file size (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135810&p=2093689&viewfull=1#post2093689) came up recently.
With this optimizer, if a resource can't be stripped because no matching stock resource can be found (i.e. it's a custom resource), then it's added to the pool of resources available as replacements. So if later in the optimizing process a similar custom resource is found, then that resource can be stripped.
For a single ibt file there's only a small benefit from this, but for missions with two or more ibts sharing custom resources, there can be a significant saving. I tried it on a couple of the Cabal missions, and the reduction in zip file size was 100-120 MB.
The resulting cbt files are compatible with existing loaders, although a new rebuilding dll may be needed.
If there's any interest I'll post about it more in a week or so.
