Battlefield 1942 Dummy Movie Files
I remember complaints from both Mano and Woody about the damn load screens every time you want to play the game. So I decided to Bink up all 4 dummy files to replace BF1942's files. I never had a problem with the intros, but since I play the game a lot now, it is just stupid to watch the movies all the time. My files are 4 two-frame *.bik's with just the Battlefield 1942 logo on a black background... fast, pleasant, and nice looking.

I know we have some new recruits (Midknight and, soon, Emrys) so you guys should fetch these files, too.

Well then, you're welcome Smile.

INSTALL NOTES:
  • Archive Contents: EA.bik, Dice.bik, Intro.bik, Legal.bik.
  • Unzip all 4 *.bik files into "\Battlefield 1942\Movies"
  • Prior to that, if you want, backup the real files in case
    you want them back (you won't ever need them though).

    OK, well there are a couple of more annoyances with BF1942... the most minor of minor annoyances, I say. However, I just took the incentive to fix them and distribute them publicly! Or just to the fellow LCC BF-Elite Wink.

    This is my BF1942 Multi-Fix, just download and enjoy.

    READ THE 'README-CONTENTS' & 'README-MUSIC' *.txt FILES!!!11

    Now, for those who read the readme.txt files... you'll know what this is for. This is a replacement for Battlefield 1942's Load Screen Music. In the 'README-MUSIC.txt', I wrote out how to replace the menu's music so you should have a clear understanding of how to insert this file.

    If you don't know how to plop this music file in, just refer to 'README-MUSIC.txt' in the archive... here's just a summary:

    Replace 'Vehicle4.bik' in \mods\bf1942\music\, \mods\XPack1\music\ & \mods\XPack2\music\.

    By the way, this file comes from CS: Condition Zero. I do NOT play Counter-Strike, I just have a 'pirated' copy laying around and its so easy to rip off their sounds. That's about all CS is good for Smile.

    That's it, enjoy. You're welcome Puppy.
