Like in TD/RA1. This would allow for a nice story-driven campaign without movies, while players don't have to open the briefings for every mission manually. If not, then I guess I'll have to make some movies that show the briefing text or something. -------------------- If you're woken by your alarm clock during a nightmare, should you be happy?

I think it's not neccesairy to tell that you need the XCC mixer... And also version 1.40 doesn't work too good, I should take version 1.45 And yes, in mission.ini you can specify the briefing... But then you have still to open the briefings manually. I'm sorry tomb, I cant help you further. But I think it isn't possible (well, evryting is possible, but then you have to edit the .exe, and that is VERY, VERY HARD coded (i'm working on a decompiler)). -------------------- /\ TY Bittah! /\ If you've X-Fire...

Oh well... animated briefings inbetween missions might be purdy-er anywayz. I'll probably dig up Animation Shop Pro, create some animated GIFs, which I'll turn into some movie format like AVI, before converting to VQA... hmm... might work. starts pondering -------------------- If you're woken by your alarm clock during a nightmare, should you be happy?
