Fred Tetra Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Do you like watching company logos galore before you get to play a game? Do you leave that sort of thing turned on, even when there's a way to stop it? If so, go back to the forum now. Stop reading. Still here? Open your Kotor 2 Movies directory. You're going to replace two files; Leclogo.bik and ObsidianEnt.bik. If you want to preserve your original files, rename them now. Now unzip this file to the directory. When you start Kotor 2, you won't have to watch the logo movies. If you want things to get going even faster, alter your shortcut (desktop or start menu) for Kotor 2 to have "swkotor2.exe" as the target instead of "launcher.exe".
Darth333 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 This is quite useful when we have to constantly reload your game to test mods! Thanks
ChAiNz.2da Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks Fred! This is one mod I won't hesitate to play through TSL completely before I use it! and as Darth333 had said, when it comes time for modding, this is going to be a very welcomed tweak...
T7nowhere Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Leave it to a programer to make this kind of solution. All I do to remove the company logos is to delete them I did that with KotOR and every EA game I have ever owned. But this is good for all those people that like to do things the safe way.
Fred Tetra Posted February 11, 2005 Author Posted February 11, 2005 Normally, I would delete the files, too. However, many applications employ "Success-Based Programming", which is to say that they expect files to be where they should, "just because." After all, the installer should have placed them there, right? My way is just a slightly safer way of doing it.
RedHawke Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Very nice Fred! Though I did like T7 and just moved the files to a backup folder...
RedHawke Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Originally posted by Fred Tetra Ahh, those who live dangerously! Not any more Fred, I did some testing and your "safe-and-sane startup" actually starts faster! Mark one up for safe-and-sane!
CTOAN Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Fred- You are the man. I'll try that with the original KOTOR, since my copy of TSL won't be here till Monday
RebelScum! Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Sweet! Thats a nice mod!...All I need is the game now....Either i order it today and get it on monday or i go to get it tomorrow...Can't get it today..ill be so busy to very busy on my site
CTOAN Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Repointing the shortcut for KOTOR 1 to SWKOTOR.exe works like a charm. Didn't bother with changing the pictures, though...
beel2112 Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Awesome! I haven't been this happy since the "+restart 1" code for Battlefield 1942/Vietnam.
