Is it possible to skip the intro movies?

If I remember correctly, this was not possible when the game was initially released.

Has anyone come up with a way to skip the intros and go right to the Load Game screen?

btw, Its been a long time since I was active in any I-War forum. I'm glad to see that some people are still playing.

There sure is. Open your flux.ini and find this entry:

Code:

&#91;icGame&#93;
multiplayer_only = 0
movies&#91;0&#93; = /movies/infogrames
movies&#91;1&#93; = /movies/psys
movies&#91;2&#93; = /movies/intro
comsec_discovery = 0
base_discovery = 0
base_entry = 0
jail_break = 0
outro = 0

Then just delete this part of it:

Code:

movies&#91;0&#93; = /movies/infogrames
movies&#91;1&#93; = /movies/psys
movies&#91;2&#93; = /movies/intro

Save it, and you'll never be troubled by intro movies or logos again. You'll just jump straight to the start screen.

You can also make a shortcut that points to this: IW2EoCGS.exe, instead of this: EdgeOfChaos.exe, and you won't even get the intro screen, the one with the engine start up sound. It will just jump straight into the game.

Stuff like this is essential to avoid wasted time while testing mods. Enjoy.
