Question Youtube Video??

versatile verve · 3 Weeks Ago

Hi, I recently made a new map on sandbox and I added some jumps in it to get arround faster. I added 2 ghost edges and since these are pretty advanced jumps, i wanted to embed a youtube video on how to edge ghost. I embeded a bungie video of the map itself, with this code:

[--bungievid--]value[/--bungievid--]
(without the "--" in it)
but i dont know the code for youtube videos, i tried:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VT3Gkzi3u8

This one works here but not in the map post... :( the code is

http://then this link"www.youtube.co...3Gkzi3u8" then again

[youtube]7VT3Gkzi3u8[/youtube]

and lots of other combanations... i even tried the embeded code from the youtube video. But nothing works, can any1 tell me how to embed youtube videos?? and yes that is the actual youtube link to the video on how to edge ghost.

Just copy and paste the URL and it makes the code for you.

that doesnt work for me. i tried that in the thread but it just shows the link...

look: heres the link to my map:
http://www.forgehub.com/mapdb/showentry.php?e=944

the part that im trying to embed the video in is towards the middle of the page, scroll down till you see the pictures with the big yellow arrow and circle on them. Its kinda hard to miss lol. I spent awhile tryn to explain how to edge ghost but it still needs the vid, the only thing that shows where i want the vid is the link to the vid, not the actual vid.

It should work. Maybe something isn't working. I'll give it a try:

YouTube - Halo 3 - ClearlyMe's Tips on Ghost Jumps and Edge Ghost's

Tis working for me. Make sure you are copying the url in the adress bar, not the one off to the right.

lol well, it works for you, but i cant get it to work in my post, i got it to work here once, and then tried it in my map thread, but it didnt work so im back here now. lmao, i tried posting the url of the website, the one that you just used:

YouTube - Halo 3 - ClearlyMe's Tips on Ghost Jumps and Edge Ghost's

but it doesnt work on my map thread. :o

i did it keeps showing the link?? wait, you can see the tutorial on ghost jumps on my map post?? this map post?? The Relic version 1 - Forge Hub Map Database

and not the bungie vid of the map, i mean the vid of the ghost jumps. towards the middle of the post? not the top? all i see is the link for the vid.

On this thread i can see the video, but when i go to my map thread, where i want to post the video, it doesnt show up.

1. Chill with the posting in white...

2. Again, just copy and paste the url (the http:// stuff) into your post, and click save. It won't show until you save it and view your thread. No BBCode or anything.

3. Don't make another thread, VM me if you still have questions.

I'll take a wild guess and say that Youtube vids cannot be embedded in the Map Database.

Youtube videos can be embedded into the Map Database, why wouldn't they?

My guess is that since the video comes up for us and not for you, it is a problem with your computer. I'd check it out.
