You can try [wiki]PlayMovie[/wiki], but I've never used it and it might not work at all. It definately won't work outside of Windows at any rate.

You can do an ingame movie/cutscene using ACS scripting, hudmessages, and cameras. Isn't PlayMovie supposed to be rather unstable?

Can i do audio cutscene ? format Ogg or Mp3 ? because with hud message :s
I don't know if i can put high resolution texture and high resolution sprite , Zdoom can do this ?
It's a very complex project because i never use tools like the ACS scripting and all this stuff

ZDoom supports OGG and MP3 so you can use OGG and MP3 audio as well.

Yes, you can use high resolution textures and sprites, by downscaling the images. Textures can be scaled by the [wiki]HIRESTEX[/wiki] lump, and sprites can be scaled using the scale [wiki]actor properties[/wiki].

Heh, on my own topic of PlayMovie being unstable I tried to use it from the console and guess what happened? Full system lockup. >_<

I thought I've seen a John McClane player model for Quake 2 over at http://www.polycount.com but I think that was ages ago.

I remember the model being very good (well if you ignore the fact that it's so low poly).
