MultiIntro

[M0tah]

This is another client-side DLL that allows more than three intros to be defined, similarly to the feature in FL Hack.

You can get it here.

As always, feel free to post comments/bug reports. You can also report bugs on the FL-Forge project page using the Tracker.

It’s worth mentioning that this also causes a new intro to be loaded every time you visit the menu, which can fix some fairly odd glitches from repeatedly visiting the menu.
For example (taken by M0tah): (click to expand)

I forgot to mention that if you want to use this with MultiCruise you should have MultiCruise v0.2.0 - v0.1.0 will only work with MultiIntro if you put MultiIntro.dll before MultiCruise.dll in dacom.ini.

So I’m assuming you can make your own detailed intro’s using this tool? Or can you only choose a room for it to display? I’d love to have multiple scenes with entire house fleets slowly flying past the camera, like in Return of the Jedi, before they launched their assault on the Death Star.

no Griff, multi-intro just allows for more than 3 intro screens.
You’ll have to manually edit the .thn files for the scenes you want.

Yes. Thankyou. That’s what I was looking for. Hoping to make some nice intros when I get to that point.

there are larger tutorials on the archive at lancersreactor.com.
the tutorial up here is okay to understand the structure but you won’t get very far without better information sources (unless you are good and fast with trial and error ofc).
