Shutting off the videos and sounds

Post by nilssone85 »

Hi!
I cant find how to shut off the videos and sounds in the game. Especially those videos when groundstriking is annoying!

Regards

Select Player Interface Settings in top menu of main form - untick the boxes, then restart the game for the new settings to take effect.

One of the very first things I did. I think this was one of those - seems like a good idea at the time jobs. In reality it was not worth the time and effort of putting in.

I agree completely. It was a complete waste of time putting video and sound in. Time that would have been better spent on fixing bugs. The game is not Space Invaders, it's a strategic simulation.

I like the videos and sounds. [:)]

Video and sound was easy - from my points of view. Matrix had their people gather the files and Delphi makes it easy to play them. So, the whole task only took me a couple of days of work (back in 2012, if I remember correctly).
