Intro Video

[SvenNyqvist]

Is it possible to interrupt the Intro videos? I would like to do that. After a couple of times it is just an increased loading time.

Just click the mouse button [:)]

[SvenNyqvist]

Thanks! I tried the Escape key but that did not function.

When ever I click on the mouse the intro movies stops.

Can you change ( edit ) the intro movie ? [:D]
Thats a more intresting question.

[SvenNyqvist]

The mouse click works fine.

You probably can change the into movie. The movies are in the sub-folder "Movies". If you save something else under the same name I assume it would work.

Is it possible to turn off the intro movie?

Now that would be neat.

agreed. I am using the betas so I get crashes often (as expect of a beta). but this means I get to watch (or rather, manually interrupt) the intro video again and again and again.
Would be great if i could just turn it off completely.

Is it really that hard to click the mouse button once when the intro starts?

yes, yes it is.
it also slows down the loading of the game itself. (oh, and an option to not start with the galactopedia open).
last night I was isolating a crash to submit a save which replicates it reliably... i had to run the game more then 10 times in a row doing that.
but even if not... if i run the game several times a day for a few months now that is still a lot of clicking that I want to avoid. there is a reason why people make "no intro hacks" for every game ever made. it is a hack that does NOT crack the DRM and does NOT let you pirate the game... it simply disables the into movies... they make them for every game that doesn't have a built in option to do so.

There is a box in the bottom left corner of the galactopedia that disables it from opening at start.
And I agree ditching the intro would be cool, I might try replacing it with a tiny video clip and see if that works.

I think Matrix and Codeforce should put this last on their list.
Seriously, I think there are things that are more important for Codeforce and Matrix to do.

[taltamir]

sure... there are more important things to do. but it should still go on the list.
