Visas Movie

[harIII]

Can anyone tell me what exactly triggers the movie where Visas talks to Nihilus about the an echo in the force? If I don't move the video or rename it, every time I load a new area or something I get to watch Visas and Nihilus which would get quit irritating after you play about an hour of Shadows of the Empire. Would anyone know how I can stop the game from playing this movie besides moving it to a different folder, changing the name, or simply deleting it?

It depends upon how darkside or lightside you are I believe. I don't know how to stop it though.

[harIII]

But it happens right in the beginning when I start a new game... and I'm neutral.

[Fallen Guardian]

That's odd. Idk what went wrong then.

The script that triggers it is, k_align_movie but as Fallen Guardian said it should only play once you've reached far enough Light/dark points.

[Jaevyn]

Just to add to DarthStoney's observations the script relates that one of three conditionals must be met:

 

       if( bAllowPlayback &&
         ( ( nPCAlign >= 75 ) ||
           ( nPCAlign <= 25 ) ||
           ( nDarkPoints + nLightPoints >= 50 ) ) )

 

This means that the player must have an alignment of either 25 or 75, or have made 50 lightside and dark side choices. The code that actually controls when the movie plays is as follows:

 

    if( GetGlobalNumber( "000_Event_Movie" ) == 0 )

 

So in other words either you need to change the Global Number name that the file refers to, or remove the script entirely.

I'll give removing/editing the script a try tonight because I'm also using a whole new set of global variables.
