I've been writing a sophisticated offline mission. It's fun, and I've learned how to do several clever things inside the briefing room. However, I think it would be a lot easier on everybody if I could just put my own mission briefing stuff into a video clip (avi, mpg, mp4, wmv, or whatever is easiest for HiTech to support) that would play at the beginning of a mission. It would be especially nice if the user could just press <ESC> to skip the movie once it's been seen a few times. If that facility were available, then the existing briefing room logic might even be eliminated entirely.
