How do you play the tutorials?

February 17, 2006 5:24:37 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hey all. Was reading some posts and saw that some people have been viewing the tutorials. I looked in the turotial folder but all I've got are a few image files. I read you can play them with a Bink viewer, but how exactly do you do this? Thanks for the help. Gotta have something to occupy me for the next couple days!!

Get the viewer at http://www.radgametools.com/

Then double-click the .bik files.

Also, as a heads up, bink video doesn't have any navigational tools whatsoever. If you stop a video in the middle of play, you'll have to watch it over all the way from the beginning. This was a huge pain for me when I had to stop the Developer Commentary that came with the FEAR DVD edition.

If you have to pause a video, selecting a different program seems to work, so long as it's on top.

Ahh, now I see. I didn't have any .bik files. Didn't realize you had to install tutorials, movies and multimedia separatly from main game install. I'll check back in a little bit and let you all know what I think of them.

It also pauses if you minimize it.

The spacebar also seems to pause bink video, in line with media player convention.

Man. These bink people don't make it easy to watch these without their player. I finally found a dll that would play these with sound/without crashing in an old version of Media Player Classic (apparently the new versions don't have this feature). And it wasn't the dll in GalCiv 2
