Name: New Opening Video
Version: 1.0
Date: 2/3/2010
Category: Videos and Trailers
Author: Bioware

=================
Description:
=================

This is a new video to replace the opening sequence when you start up Dragon Age.

Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmYfRt-hGpI for the full video, in case you want to view it before installing.

=================
Details:
=================

Unless you know how to edit .ini files, and are confident and comfortable in doing so, don't attempt to install this mod. I'm not at fault if you royally screw up your game.

=================
Installation
=================

1. Download my file.
2. Unpack it with Winrar and move the single file to C:\...\Dragon Age\packages\core\data\movies\ Note: The folder may not already exist. It works fine if stuck straight in the override folder as well. (Thank you, Shamikka, for testing this.)
3. Open the settings folder in C:\Users\Administrator\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\
4. Open DragonAge.ini file with notepad, or (preferably) Notepad++
5. Modify the [MOVIES] section to look like the below. Note: There should be two settings in 0 and 1. If you wish to keep those (not recommended, since it's annoying), simply move the video.bik to 2.
[Movies]
DisableIntroMovies=0
FirstRun=0
0=video.bik
1=(UNASSIGNED)
2=(UNASSIGNED)
3=(UNASSIGNED)
4=(UNASSIGNED)
5=(UNASSIGNED)
6=(UNASSIGNED)
7=(UNASSIGNED)
8=(UNASSIGNED)
9=(UNASSIGNED)

=================
Un-Installation:
=================

Reverse the changes made to the .ini file and remove the file "video.bik" from C:\...\Dragon Age\packages\core\data\movies\ or wherever you put it.

=================
Known Issues:
=================

None, as far as I know. Please report them if you find them.

=================
History:
=================

2/3/2010 - v1.0: Uploaded the file and made this readme.

=================
Future Ideas:
=================

I am considering adding videos of each individual trailer to be used as possible opening videos. The only thing holding me back is that converting videos to .bik is a time consuming process with my crappy computer. Maybe in the future I will do so, using the official trailers.

This file was not made by me. I simply obtained the original .mp4 of the 720p trailer, converted it to .bik and worked out how to make it work in the game.
