Movies not working?

Post by SWBF2 »

Ok so each time I go into a mission in campaign, the movie never loads, it just brings me immediately to the character selection screen. Any ideas of what is happening? Also I just uninstalled SWBF2, and reinstalled it again and I automatically had the v1.3 patch :funny2: :D

One does not simply uninstall themselves.
But seriously, how did you go about setting up your movie in the mission script? Could you please post your mission script?

Yeah...I know. Those are initialized in the level's mission script, which I am simply asking him to post.

You don't have a (modified) script if you're not making a mod. If you read the OP, he doesn't appear to be doing that.

To the OP - just remove anything in your addon folder and see what happens. If you "still have the 1.3 patch" on a fresh install, then you didn't uninstall it. Work backwards and get it working.

Alright thanks, and just to let you guys know, the intro movies didn't appear on my other computer either. and that computer didn't have 1.3 installed.

If the case is that it's not working even on computers without the 1.3 patch, then try installing the RAD Video Tools. It's a long shot (I've never seen this as a solution for anyone), but the videos in SWBF2 use Bink video, which the codecs in that download support. I think it's more likely that you simply have something installed on both computers outside of the base game, but it won't hurt to try.
