The Intro movies that start up with BF2142 can be a little annoying, you have to ESC out for each one to skip em.
To remove the movies go here (or wherever your BF2142 is installed):
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Movies
Listed there are 6 vids, all with a .bik extension, backup all these into another directory then
rename the original .bik files with an addition character of text or add 'backup' or 'orig' or similar
ie... EA orig.bik or EAx.bik or EA backup.bik
This will now skip the videos.
Another way you can do this is create a text doc for each file eg, EA.txt then rename it to EA.bik thus creating an empty .bik document
with the same name, replace your original files with these blank .bik files. Remember to backup your .bik files before replacing them.
I do not rename or replace the DICE.bik file as this does affect the ALT/TAB fixer from working correctly sometimes.
There is only 3 i change, EA.bik, Intro.bik and Legal.bik ;)
