Changing the intro movie

[Mizaq]

Does anyone know how to edit the *.bik files so we can change the intro movie? Or even just replace it with another movie, I think it would be interesting to make our own intro movies for our mods.

I know how to change the intro movie, but i wont tell unless i can get a good intro to my star wars mod

Since people aren't telling, I'll give a hint.

Look at the bottom of the game box that list the system requirement. Good luck!

if you have a movie in .bik format all you have to do is to rename it intro.bik and put it in your civ3/art/movies file

like if you change the name of race.bik, or security_briefing.bik to intro.bik then it plays for your intro movie

hope that helps

Sigh, I don't have the box anymore and it just occured to me to do a search for the file type.

Any of you seen the security briefing movie yet? It's hilarious! Just change the names of that and the intro, then start the game.
