Quite simple really, how do i get rid of the GOD AWFUL, EA Games, Runs great on .... shoddy advertising which you can't ESC from

[nickthemenace]

No point to this topic - closed

EDIT: Sorry about that, i didnt understand you properly.. anyway, the way i did it was to go into data\movies, and delete these ones:

EALogo.vp6
intel.vp6
NewLineLogo.vp6
THX.vp6

Thats all the advertising ones, but i cant find the one that has the last alliance battle at the beginning..

This way does work, and it lets you still play on the internet, but i think there is a way you can do it using gamedata.ini, but ive not looked.

This can be added to the ini

Video EALogoMovie
	Filename = None
End

Video EALogoMovie640
	Filename = None
End

Video NewLineMovie
	Filename = None
End

Video IntelLogo
	Filename = None
End

Video THXLogo
	Filename = None
End

Let's not close topics that quick next time.

Video EALogoMovie
	Filename = NoEALogo;  EA_temp_sfx_vj
; Comment	= "This is the EA logo screen"
End

Video EALogoMovie640
	Filename = NoEALogo;  EA_temp_sfx_vj
; Comment	= "This is the EA logo screen"
End

Video NewLineMovie
    Filename = NoNewLineLogo
    Comment = "NewLine company logo"
End

Video IntelLogo
	Filename = NoIntel
	Comment = "Intel logo movie"
End

Video THXLogo
	Filename = NoTHX
	Comment = "THX Logo movie"
End

or this in the video.ini. There are different ways to do it.

If you want to get rid of the battle it is the biggest movie in the data\movies folder.

yep i agree with ched i mean come on that battle is awesome and if u dont feel like watchin it u can just press ESC ok but i like it i watch almost everytime but the other movies i delete.

[Kelso]

There's an easier way. Add this line to gamedata.ini inside the gamedata block:

PlayIntro = No

[Gil-Galad99]

Wait,Wait,Wait Kelso are u tellin me that pressing one key on a keyboard is not easier than typing PlayIntro = No

i dont think that typing PlayIntro = No is easier but they bought the game with thier money so its thier choice.

Questions answered, going to close this so it doesn't get out of hand.

[Hostile]

Why people keep closing this?

The reason why you would want to know both methods is by deleting the movies, you've solved it for yourself without modding the game really.

Why you would want to use the gamedata.ini method is in case you want to put it in your mod and let people use the mod who may not know about simply deleting the movies or never thought of it.

[Kelso]

And its easier because should you ever want them to play again you don't need to reinstall the game. And writing 1 line of code is faster than several and also faster than hunting down and deleting the files themselves and running the risk of deleting the wrong ones.

[nickthemenace]

well, i dont delete them, i just put an 'a' at the beginning of its name.. thought deleting them was easier to explain.. and i agree Hostile.

well thanks for the reply guys i just deleted the video.ini entries. I only use it for modding as it just saves a lot of time

[Allied General]

which ini file contains the details relating to spell power properities e.g. stun duration for horn of gondor or the duration of blade master or glorious charge.

Its been 2 days since i started modding BFME, I got boromir to use blade master (the effect is in the attributemodifer.ini i think) and faramir to summon two hordes of rangers but i just need some help in tweaking abilities.

[nickthemenace]

most of the effects are in attributemodifier.ini, although some, like elendil are hardcoded (i think)

aww well that sucks, i thought there might be something in gamedata.ini

I guess most of the generals logic is disabled right or heavily modified?
