Prevent skipped videos from being loaded. Optionally skip new game intro.
Tested on Phoenix Point 1.0.56617 with Modnix 2.2. Tested on Phoenix Point 1.0.56617 with PPML 0.1. "
Why "... testable on PPML 0.1" ??? Released ....... are new PPML versions v0.3 in use ??? I don't understand something here.

Good question. You may notice that I do this for all my mods. Basically, 0.1 mod is the safest of all three PPML mod versions, and PPML 0.1 is the lowest common denominator.
Modnix support 0.2 and 0.1 mods, but does not support 0.3 since it breaks compatibility again. PPML 0.3 can load 0.1 mods, or at least claim to be, while 0.2 and 0.3 mods are incompatible with each other and will crash PPML 0.1. PPML 0.1 has also the least features - if a mod works there, it should pose no problem for both Modnix and 0.3. (Ultimately, compatibility is the responsibility of the loader author; PPML 0.3 claims to be compatible with 0.2 but turns out do not.)
I can also remove PPML support and force everyone to use Modnix, of course. But that would be like Apple or China, both of which I hate. A nice garden does not need to be walled. Still, I can't support everything, nor do I want to add to the PPML mess. Testing on 0.1 is a conscious choice.
I have no experience in Vortex, and from what I've read it may not be compatible with PP because PP does not officially support modding. I may be wrong. Below is the doc I read. It basically describe how to "put mod files in the correct place". Mod loader not mentioned. https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Creating_a_game_extension_for_Vortex (The "mod installer" section is about Vortex's mod configuration, not real exes.)
And without mod loader, mods will not work. You can manage it separately, but it'd be lots of work for little gain from my point of view. Given the uncertainty I'm inclined to spend time on Modnix to allow more type of mods, and making modding tutorials. (45 minutes of videos recorded and editing.)
Note then Skip Intro need to kicks in much earlier than other mods, so I doubt the future official modding support will allow Skip Intro to works its full magic.
It took a while, but I have updated Skip Intro to not skip curtains by default, and add the capability to skip the early openings. The later requires a new mod loader that is compatible with old mods. You may also keep using the original PPML for the first.
The mods still work as is. PPML's injector must be re-ran after every game patch to re-enable every mod. I'm adding a notice to all my mods since I just realised that this information is not communicated by PPML.
The "new" mod loader is made by Ijwu, not by the original loader author, and intentionally breaks compatibility that many unmaintained mods depends on.
I tried hard, but found no way to make one file that supports both. Instead, I made another new mod loader, yay! Called Modnix, It does not break compatibilities, and at the same time allows Skip Intro to skip the logos.
If that doesn't work, I have written, on Modnix's wiki's manual setup page, how to run both PPML together. Strongly advise against it, but I acknowledge it as another way forward.
Pls add different versions. Need just skip beginning intro and videos skip. No before loading screen, its instead of this just freezing in main menu and on map before loading.

and the mod loader does not recognize it's even there.
are you sure this is compatible with the new mod loader 0.2?
