Main menu movies

[booradley60 0]

I searched for this and couldn't find anything on it, but I was wondering if you could edit the background movies that play when you're in the main menu. I want to see the M113 on Malden get blown sky high instead of blasting the two guys behind the sandbag emplacements. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds Interesting if you could.

I would think you could, atleast for addons islands there just like intros for missions, but the problem would be finding where they're stored.  I'd somewhat doubt they're hard-coded. In noe.pbo's config.bin it just says

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">cutscenes[]= {"intro"};

WHich is awful strange cause I don't see any intro folder or pbo.

It's the "anim.pbo" in your DTA folder.

How can we edit it?

depbo it and take the missions out, edit them, put them back in...

And where can I find something to dePBO it? (seriously)

Head over to AvonLady's Place scroll down to mission editing and then click on "essential mission editing tools", download UnPbo v1.5 Hell you might as well grab the MakePBOv1.1 as you'll need to put that pbo back together..

Sounds like fun.

Do you have to make the mission into a certain type? Like intro? So radio messages and such don't show?

top ten intro ideas:

10. General Guba sitting in a russian base then four blackhawks and two M1A1 Abrams come and after destroying all the russian defense, the blackops team from one of the blackhawks runs into the room guba is in, SWAT style and shoots him and his body guards (thats what is supposed to happen, anyway)

9. Guba and Victor battle it, western style. They take ten paces, draw their pistols and shoot, then the camera moves in on the setting sun.

8. a totally random battle but you are in the view of a random grunt

7. a totally random battle but it is playing the mission from the original ofp demo

6. A10s take off to some cheezy airsoft music (memories of sega flight sims) then the music gets serious and you get to see them bomb a town and harass it. maybe 30mm some running soldiers in the back if possible.

5. you see through the eyes of a segal during a random firefight.

4. the scope of a sniper during a settling sun in a forested hill top area. camera being MGS style.

3. a totally random battle with totally random soldiers and random obsticles, with a totally random outcome.

2. a mission heavily using addons or using some sort of ballistic script (artillery, scud guidance)

1. a revised guba idea, have guba taking a leak to some sort of happy uptone cubian music and then the blackops team rushes in and takes him hostage onboard a blackhawk which gets shot down then everything goes to holy hell in a handbasket and then they send in two platoons to clash at each other and then the outcome should be random. Should west win, they take guba, should east win, guba goes back to his little place of residence.
