tar Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 IIRC you need to hold the shift key down when you start the game. That will toggle the intro movie on or off. Perhaps you had the caps lock engaged once when starting the game and that brought the movie back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneymaxx Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Did you install any new media player recently? The start-movie needs the quicktime player from Apple, if it isn't there CMBO just skips the movie. If you DID install it CMBO now finds quicktime and plays the movie. You can find this information in the original readme.txt which can be found in the CMBO directory. Here is part of it: COMBAT MISSION: BEYOND OVERLORD v1.02 Copyright 2000 Big Time Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved Worldwide June 22, 2000 ... OPTIONAL: If you would like to see the "intro movie" to Combat Mission, which plays when the game starts up, you will need to install Apple Quicktime - available from <http://www.apple.com/quicktime> for free download. This is NOT required, however. If you have Quicktime but do not wish to view the movie, just click the mouse or press a key and CM will skip the movie. You can also hold down the SHIFT key while CM is loading, and this will tell CM not to show the movie now or during future startups. (Pressing SHIFT during a subsequent startup will tell CM to begin showing the movie again). ... Hope this helps.

Erwin Rommel Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Thanks guys.. got it back to playing "Burning Bridges" I did by chance happen to install quick time just yesterday and that would explain the movie playing when I started it today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Mauldin Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I had the same thing happen to me about a year ago. I had installed quicktime to play a "Rugrats" game I had installed for my Granddaughter. The first time after that I cranked up CMBO I was quite shocked... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrobin Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Your lucky, If you have got the CDV version :mad: all you get is their intro movie, which has absolutely nothing to do with the game. From memory a laser beam destroying a pyramid, with the logo emerging. BTW what is the BTS movie about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrobin Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Nevermind Thanks for the offer, but as you mention the file size is a problem. I have had enough of mega downloads on my dial up CMBB v1.01 at 68meg for us CDV users :eek: Red 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
