Skip the intro

Post by firefly177 »

Does anybody know if there is a command line switch that can be employed to skip the intro movies etc.?

Thanks.

There's no command line parameter for this, but you can simple rename the VIDEO-folder inside \Witp\ to "NOVIDEO".

Yes - pressing it 4 times in rapid succession when the first video starts to play gets you to the main screen... if you hit it FIVE times though, you go back to desktop.

No command line workaround that i know of.

i suppose you COULD remove the videos that play at the beginning - but i am not sure what would happen.

Just do as VSWG stated, rename the VIDEO folder to NO_VIDEO. Works for me, and no key presses needed.

Doesn't this screw up the animations in the replay? [&:]

Nope, the only videos in there are the three you get when you start the game up.

Just tried it...

You still get the "splash" screen showing Zeros dropping torpedoes [8|] [:D] - but not the videos... hit the ESC once and you are into the menus. [8D]
