[SOLVED] Dump0000.bik file [how to make it work in a mod]

[Neige Noire]

How do I make the game display my own Dump0000.bik file in stead of backdrop.tga? I am talking mods not the vanilla game. The mod in question has no bik file for this and displays its own backdrop.tga by default. I am guessing some txt file has to be edited since simply copying the bik file into "modfolder/data/fmv/menu" does not work. Any ideas?

You have to edit the .cfg file of that mod and put this or enable it again if set to true:-

[video]
no_background_fmv = false

Blue part is where you will find it or place it under.

I have already tried, but adding it to the cfg doesn't help...

Yeah it can be hectic sometimes set it to that and then delete the default .cfg that is the main one and then it should work.
Also make sure the default option is also on that is:-

[video]
movies = true
no_background_fmv = false

I checked and it works for me in SS6.3.

Ok, I figured it out. It appears that the mod does not use backdrop.tga. It uses an identical image in "data\menu" called _m2_border.tga. And it was simply covering the video. I edited the picture, cut out the middle part and left the frame. It looks pretty neat now. Thanks for your time, Ishan.

Yeah they might have used alpha to cover it up nice trick.

Movies will not play if you have this entry in the CFG file:

[misc]
bypass_to_strategy_save = 1
