How do I lose the intro movies?

Well what I put IS "movies = 0" but I'm not certain that is what is correct. I seem to recall copying and pasting from the file, but I could be wrong. If I typed it by hand, I naturally would have added the spaces.

So, short answer: try it one way, and if it CTDs or doesn't skip the movies, then put it the other way

I think the fact that every other setting in the file has a space in between the equals sign might be a big clue.

To disable movies other than the intro, you can look in \data\fmv and guess the appropriate filename, then try renaming the extension to .bak or something.

Or you can use the applicable settings in the cfg file. I notice mine has these all set to 1 in the video section:

Set any you don't wish to see to 0. Should be obvious from their names exactly which movies they control...

Likewise if you've disabled a type of movie, but want to have it back, setting the appropriate one(s) to 1 is the thing to do.

Checked it, confirmed, "movies = 0" with the spaces is indeed correct. Thanks Foz! That's another hour or two of my life saved!

No problem gardibolt. Don't make a big fuss about me being over here though... I'm hiding here cuz it's a thread I'm not in trouble in. So shhhhh...

Apparently today just isn't a good mood day for me...

Yeah, this works great... as long as you don't keep overwiting the config file like I seem to!

Hehe.

Need to go through those other suggested mods/fixes of yours, Foz. Now that I THINK I have them working. Left out a step after putting in some changes, so they weren't taking effect (though the txt files were right).

Darned pagan magicians!

Yeah, I get that too. It works the first time you launch MTW2, then after you exit, the setting is gone and the next time you will get the videos again. The best way is the method I suggested above, which is to simply rename the bik video files. The two intro movies are:

data\fmv\logo.bik
data\fmv\faction\game_intro.bik

I append .bak to the extension and I get no intro movies permanently.
