Description

===============================================
  K02-1 VIDEO LOADING SCREEN
===============================================

Play a looping video on the Arma Reforger scenario loading
screen. Depend on this mod, add your own video, publish.

It ships as a CLEAN SLATE - no video until you add one (so it's
light, and you bring the content).

----------------------------------------------------------------
  WHAT YOU INHERIT  vs  WHAT YOU ADD
----------------------------------------------------------------

Add this mod as a DEPENDENCY and you inherit, already wired up:

   - the DRIVER (plays the video) ........... don't touch
   - the LAYOUT (replaces the vanilla loading
                 screen, sized for video) .... don't touch

You add ONE thing: your own video, as a playlist override. You
override ONLY the playlist config - never the layout or driver
(overriding those forks the framework and you lose updates).

----------------------------------------------------------------
  SET UP YOUR VIDEO
----------------------------------------------------------------

Full steps are in  tools/SETUP-INSTRUCTIONS.txt . In short
(needs ffmpeg, free from ffmpeg.org):

  1. FRAMES - in your mod folder, run:
       mkdir frames
       ffmpeg -i "yourvideo.mp4" -vf "scale=1280:720:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1280:720:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" "frames/frame_%04d.png"
     Letterboxes any video to 1280x720 (no distortion). Keep
     clips ~5-15 sec.

  2. IMPORT the frames/ folder in Workbench (drag in, let bake).

  3. OVERRIDE THE PLAYLIST - right-click this mod's
     Configs/VideoLoadingScreen/Playlist.conf -> Override (copies
     it into your mod with the matching ID). Open it, drag your
     frames into the m_aFrames list, set m_fFPS to your fps.

  4. BUILD + PUBLISH.

  (tools/setup.bat automates steps 1-3 if you can run it locally
   from source. The manual steps always work - and Workshop
   subscribers won't get a runnable script, so steps are king.)

----------------------------------------------------------------
  NOTES & LIMITS
----------------------------------------------------------------

   - Override ONLY the playlist. Layout + driver come from the
     dependency.
   - Letterboxed to 1280x720; non-16:9 gets black bars, never
     stretched.
   - Only one active mod can own the loading screen (last loaded
     wins).
   - No playlist  ->  the normal loading screen shows, untouched.
