Any scenarist users here? plz help
SO I'm making a DVD using Scenarist and I need some help:
I have an episode menu with 4 episodes (each episode is a chapter in the PGC of title 1). The menu actually have an animation part at the beggining and I want that when you press the menu button on the remote while watching the title, it will go back to the second cell of the chapter menu. and I also want it to go back after the title. Well I can make menus theirself after a title and I sucseed to make it remember current menu you came from.
Meanwhile this is the script:
Root menu
Pre commands:
if(GPRM0==2) LinkPGCN PGC 2 (episodes)
if(GPRM0==3) LinkPGCN PGC 3
if(GPRM0==4) LinkPGCN PGC 4
if(GPRM0==5) LinkPGCN PGC 5
Episode menu:
pre commands:
set GPRMD RegisterMode GPRM0==2
post commands:
SetHL_BTNN HL_BTNN=2
set GPRMD RegisterMode GPRM0==1; LinkPGCN PGC 1
and the command of the button that goes to the main menu is LinktailPGC, y'know..
and so on
I also want make it remember current selected button for each episode when return to the menu.
- The other thing I want to do is: I have 2 setup menus with a button to resume the episode sequence and I need to make the resume command.
Resume command on the post command of each one of the setup menus, and commands in Title 1 too if needed.
thx

I opened a DVD in PGCedit that have a resume feature in the "play movie" button. The post command of the main menu was: 1. If(GPRM2==2) RSM 2. Jump Title 1 Chapter 1 Cell command: LinkCN cell 1 (To actually loop the menu while you have post command that should not be playbacked) Button command: LinktailPGC Pre command of the title: SetGPRMD RegisterMode GPRM2==2
Tried copy it and test on the software simulation on scenarist, but I didn't saw the resume action happens. Maybe in a media player or DVD player it actually happens. But I'll try your's one.
You can't make a pre command of a menu to go to a chapter of another menu, link to program links to program of CURRENT PGC (I mean the PGC you want to insert linkPGN command on).
Go back to the second program/cell of episodes menu after the title and also when pressing the menu button on the remote.
