faction videos and main intro is not coming up on wars of men?

[Fallen Angel Ezekiel]

Hey ya i downloaded the wars of men and the hotfix but the videos are still not coming up?

Are these included in the game or just to watch from the files?

Are you using the new shortcut to run the game? If yes, does a DOS window come up with a list of options to choose from?

Yes to all of those.

Since you're using Vista, then Vista probably doesn't allow the .bat file to execute all the copying/moving/renaming etc that is necessary for WoM (videos/save-games/etc) to work automatically. A solution is to move the files manually to their proper location and rename them.
Go to bi/data/fmv and rename the .wmv BI intro file. Then go to bi/ci/Batch/videos, copy the video you want, rename it to BI_Intro_640x480.wmv and put it in bi/data/fmv. Then fire up the game.

Okay i will do that, i looked at the link and saw the attached files that you put in your post should i download that to or is that for non vista players?

It is a .bat file for the people whose OS doesn't allow the regular .bat file to operate properly (so it's for you as well). You will still have to move some things manually, unfortunately, but with the new .bat you'll not lose your WoM save games.
