Hi,

I searched the forum but didn't found a real answer for my problem, so I will give it a shot ...


I can't start a campaign in EB (ver 1.1). When I choose a faction (Romani) and push the arrow, the game goes to the desktop and I see an empty black ActiveMovie window ...

I looked arround in the /data/fmv/intro directory and I saw loads of intros missing ... Only 2 intros are there ... When I try to start a campaign with the 2 factions which intros are in the directory, EB starts ...

Now , there is a placeholder movie intro which I tried to rename to Romani_intro.wmv ... Didn't work, Rome_intro.wmv either ...

So can someone please tell me how the intro files are called for all the factions or where I can download stub intro files ?

Thanks in advance,

sincerely yours,


Bometal

This is so not in the right forum at all. So I'll move it.

As for your problem, you need to turn off the movies. To do so follow these instructions:

a) Start Menu > All Programs > Europa Barbarborum > Configuration
b) In the EB Configuration menu make sure that "Turn Off Movies" is checked.
c) Save & Exit

Fixed it, thx :)

Tried the -nm switch, but haven't noticed the property in the menu ...

Thanks again,

For Saka and Pahlava intros were done, so that's why they are there.

well now I don't know why saka and pahlava have them... :smash:

there were no volunteers for the other factions' intros?

The guy who was making them disappeared. Someone volunteered to make a Romani intro, but the result wasn't up to EB quality standards.
