How to skip cutscenes?

[Bas]

Hi,
is there any way to skip the starting/calling of a cutscene? FL crashes at my Linux OS when I try to start SP, so this might be an issue…or I might should try OSP for testing…

if you mean the opening movies, go into your freelancer.ini file and put a semi-colon ( ; ) in front of each of the 3 movie lines.

<data file=“exe\freelancer.ini” method=“sectionreplace”>;remove startup movies

[Startup]

<dest>movie_file = movies\MGS_Logo_Final.wmv
movie_file = movies\DA_Logo_Final.wmv
movie_file = movies\FL_Intro.wmv</dest>
<source>
;movie_file = movies\MGS_Logo_Final.wmv
;movie_file = movies\DA_Logo_Final.wmv
;movie_file = movies\FL_Intro.wmv</data>

He means the cinema scenes… for example: the destroying of the freeport 7!

Just leave the Thorn file blank.

My site has a Scenes Cut mod (you’ll also need FLMM and the SDK or JFLP). It also contains SP from MP and No Story, to achieve Open SP.

This won’t fix the problem for sure since FL still call for that file and this might be the reason for the crash (though, I don’t think that the intros are the reason - maybe when something spawns or so)

you can delete the reference to the thorn files. as all sounds, effects and models are called within the thorn file and not within the mission, that would likely not affect the mission itself.

Hm, somehow it should work even with the cutscenes:

SS directly from winehq.org, so yeah, some people had success with that stuff.

[Gisteron]

well, you requested a skipping of the cutscenes - a workaround. if you want a solution we prolly would need further information on the problem. have you an SDK installed, a Thorn SDK or any other changes in the mission files, the common.dll, or the thorns?

Nothing but freelancer. BUt I am going to re-setup Wine anyways, since I encounter some nasty bugs here and there and totally filled the application with crappy stuff I guess.
