This is a "empty" .AVI file that can be used to replace those annoying relic and nvidia intro movies that play on startup. Works with the first Dawn of War, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, and Soulstorm.
Q: How is this different than just using the -nomovies switch on a shortcut?
A: That switch stops ALL movies from playing. Using this allows you to keep the really cool intro movie, while getting rid of the others that are just annoying.
Q: How does it work?
A: It's an .AVI file that contains a single frame of an all black screen @ 640x480 resolution with DIVX encoding and hexedited to play in the Dawn of War engine. You replace the offending .AVI files located within in the /Engine/Movies folder, and then edit the corresponding .LUA file to remove the content between the quotes for audio line. For example:
relic_intro.lua file contents (modified):
movie = "relic_intro.avi"
audio = ""
maintainAspect = 0
Use it or don't use it, it's up to you. Personally, I wanted to keep the cool movie on startup, and I thought I'd share the file I created so you don't have to make one yourself.
