    Default How to disable the intromovie

    I know the intro is cool but I have seen it so many times now, and I cant seem to find the intromovie in the fmv folder - can someone please help?

    there should be something in the CGF that came with it, if there is one. I havn't played this in a while but I keep track of how things are going ^_^

    I think its under "Video", then change "movies = true" if it exists to "movies = false", that should do it

    CFG, is that the video_options.cfg, cause if it is, there are no video or movie. Havent been able to find anything named CFG?

    well CGF is the file type, so it should be named after the name of the mod

    so "For King Or Country", the file is labelled as "for_king_or_country.CGF"
    "Broken Crescent" is labelled as "bc_kingdoms.CGF"

    It might also be called "configuration"

    If it exists it should be in the mod folder, or in the main Med2 directory

    Thanks, this worked. It was in the Med2 directory. No movies = true or false to be found, so I simply added the sentence and bingo.

    Yes it really helped, cause now I understand where that CFG file is I have also been able to remove those green arrow markers, the banners and all the short eventmovies. Nice. Thanks again Gaunty. Only thing I cant get to work fully, yet, is the saving of the video-options, so I don't have to change them every time I am loading the game. But it is really nice not to have the intro running now. Also, the annoying voice over telling you it was a heroic victory, or defeat or whatever, that battle-commentator-voice, I would love to disable that. Do you - anyone - know where to disable those?

    uhh the video options should also be in the CGF under "[video]", here is my For King or Country CGF as an example

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    [video]
    anisotropic_level = 4
    anti_alias_mode = off
    antialiasing = 2
    assassination_movies = 1
    autodetect = 0
    battle_resolution = 1280 1024
    bloom = 1
    building_detail = high
    campaign_resolution = 1280 1024
    depth_shadows = 1
    depth_shadows_resolution = 2
    effect_quality = normal
    event_movies = 1
    gamma = 128
    grass_distance = 20
    ground_buffers_per_node = 4
    ground_cover_buffers_per_node = 4
    infiltration_movies = 1
    model_buffers_per_node = 4
    no_background_fmv = 0
    reflection = 0
    sabotage_movies = 1
    shader = 2
    show_banners = 1
    show_package_litter = 1
    skip_mip_levels = 0
    splashes = 1
    sprite_buffers_per_node = 4
    stencil_shadows = 1
    subtitles = 0
    terrain_quality = custom
    texture_filtering = 2
    unit_detail = low
    vegetation = 1
    vegetation_quality = low
    vsync = 0
    water_buffers_per_node = 4
    widescreen = 0
    movies = false
    windowed = false


    The voice over, the only solution is downgrading to V1.0 of Med2, is it really worth it

    Seriously, is the voice over hard-coded? Oh no, I really dislike that same voice and those same statements.

    Ill take a look on your file, thanks Gaunty.

    just be careful when fiddling around with setting default graphic options in the CGF. It can be remarkably easy to make your game CTD on startup

    , wouldn't want to be partly responsible for you breaking your game, thus I waved all responsibility by posting that warning ^_^
