how to disable the RA1 intro animation?

[Alo]

hi

 

does anyone know how to disable the starting animation in RA1 and go straight to the main menu?

I think hyper answered it first over at ppm, hex-edit the right .dat files and rename english.vqa to the name of a video that doesnt excist.

 

Any other questions however feel free to ask here and welcome to the cnc-comm

yeah, that should do the trick. You can also see if creating an empty (text) file named english.vqa in the game folder does the trick. Could just crash the game, but you never know, it might work.
