I'm trying to make a new campign, and the inro videos are really slowing me down (have to keep reloading the game). Any way to disable them?

...strange choice[:D]

But, try to delete or move the video files that are in the video folder.
BTW, when you load the game press the spacebar a couple of time and the game skip quickly the video intro.

In the dat\video directory are those files.

If you rename the ones you don't want to run, it will skip right past.

The three starting ones are:

2by3into.wmv, matrixintro.wmv, waw_intro.wmv

I believe hitting esc will end the movie.

Don't tell me pressing Escape too many times exits the game after bypassing the intros? [&:][:o][:@][;)]

Seriously, downloading now, I've been looking forward to this game.
