Thanks for the kind words sir, you're welcome. Yes, that's an excellent idea but the Animation cutscenes can already be disabled in game Preferences, no need to rename/delete. Good idea though. For me, the game CTD'd whether they were enabled or not. As for the ".Q3" format, I looked at a couple in a Hex editor and couldn't see anything identifiable aside from "ANIM" at the beginning. An old DOS format maybe? Don't know.

BTW, in my Hind95 tests in XP 32-bit I had an idea to copy the files over to my Win7x64 dual-boot environment just to see what happened (after manually creating the registry keys inside Wow6432node) - I can report that it *didn't* run "pre-installed" in a 64-bit enviro. Cheers!


Hi Ziggy, Ah, right, cheers for the heads up on the cutscenes. Just to report that i've dabbled around a bit with an old converter, all to no avail.

So, the quest goes on!

Cheers

HWKI

Flyboy's Hind Page is now online, comments and feedback welcome!
http://digitality.comyr.com/flyboy/hind/

Note that it's not supposed to be anything visually special, or contain much other than showing people how to get the 3DFX version working. wink
