Nifty!!

Doesn't 'NoMovies' disable Wonder movies in the game?

AFAIK, the only way to skip the intro movies is to click a mouse button- would appreciate hearing otherwise...

Yeah, that's the situation I'm in as well (1.5ghz Athlon/512MB/128MBnVidia) -- I want to skip the intro movie, but I want to see the wonder movies! ("That's MY wonder!!" )

I tried replacing the .bik files for the intro movies, but instead of the movies I got a message "Your movies are not installed correctly" which I still had to click through. I'll keep trying and report back if I find a way to remove them entirely....

Ok - problem solved.

Download the attachment, and unzip it to the following folder (assuming a default install of Civ4):

C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\Art\Movies\Intros

If you don't want to overwrite the intro movies, change their names before you unzip my replacements. You will hear a clicking noise in place of the movies, but you won't have to click - so there you go!

ok, that works


now is there a way to disable the logos ?

Yeah, I want to stop the intro movies but want to keep the wonder movies as I think they are a cool thing for the atmosphere of the game. I will remember that file above when I get home (I am currently in an airport departure lounge waiting for a delayed flight )

The files work fine, thanks Stuie.
