Title: OMG NOSTALGIA!
Post by: EAD_Agamemnon on February 25, 2007, 09:36:59 pm
I just finished playing THE GREAT WAR in the FSPort. Now I have the nostalgic urge to view all the cutscenes and nothing but...for both FS1 and FS2. I dont remember what to type in to unlock them in the tech rooms. I dont want to play through the entire things just to see the cinematics. How do I do this? Long ago I knew how....but now I dont. Help me please...I got the discs but not the means...

If you've got the ogg movies (and perhaps the MVE movies) you can play them stand-alone in VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/).

I figured out why my 3.6.9 wasnt working. My custom ship tbls werent compatible. :p
In-game though how can I unlock all the cutscenes so I can view them. Now that I got 3.6.9 to work right and I got all the MVEs from the discs in place. It plays the intro movies to FS1 and FS2...but cant access the others....

Press ctrl+shift+s in whatever room you're in to unlock everything.

Sorry then, not sure what to tell you.  It always unlocked everything for me.  You're holding down all three at the same time, right?

Press those keys in the ship database screen and then go into movie section. They don't work if you use them in the movie section itself.

not working....it works in the tech database....in the missions list screen.....i tried it in both separately.
one thing I did notice is when I used the code in the tech database...i click on cutscenes (nothing there but the intro)...and I go back to the tech database...I have to use the code again for everything to show up again...

I have all the movies in the data/movies subfolder....the intros work okay but the others wont show up with CTRL SHIFT S

Well then, you'll keep getting smart remarks until you act a little more polite.

We could give you a link to download all of the movies.

They are hosted.

I'll be damned though. My copy-pasting skills? Vanished without a trace.

This thread is suddenly looking similiar to the old Word Association threads...  :nervous:

Which is nostalgic in and of itself (at least for me... I liked those threads!).

downloading them is out of the question....i dont want to spend a week downloading them all.. dial up where I'm at sux and nothing else is available. by a week I actually mean it....however many hours are in a week is how long it would take for me to dl them...and taht would just be for either FS1 or FS2

Well then, I guess you'll have to be a man and play the game to the end then.

I can see where you'd have trouble.

Ack, ppl...
Give him a break.
If you have the .MVE's (on your retail discs):

If not... (and you don't have the .OGG cutscenes) you're outta luck.
