Custom movie for steam user

Hi there I have a question:

I created a custom movie and converted this movie to a .bik file. To be able to see that custom movie, it's locally in the "Portal 2portal2media" folder. I also created the entity "vgui_movie_display" and linked with the custom movie. When I run this test map I can watch that movie.

I also would like to realize that steam user also can see the custom movie. But there is a problem: If steam users want to play this test map they are looking to a blank area. I think when I uploaded the map to the steam workshop the custom movie was not uploaded.

Is there a way to avoid this issue?

I almost know everything, except everything...

Custom .bik video won't work when packed into .bsp. So there's no way for workshop players to see it this way.

But there's a workaround. You can convert your video to images and then create an animated texture which can be packed into your map file and so works in workshop.

God bless the quick save's inventor...(Portal: Prelude)

OR you can put a "custom assets" download on the workshop description (in which 100% of the people reads it).

But yeah I recommend the other guys solution (more casual)
