       EV: Override

      I know that there are quicktime movies in EVO, and I set the prefs to show them. But whenever I quit EVO, that particular pref is lost. Does anyone know why, and how to fix this prob?

      For your information:
      I am using a mac.
      It has OS 8.5.
      It has more that 130MB of ram.
      I have EVO 1.0.2. (I updated it from 1.0.0)
      I never see any quicktime movies, even before I quit.

      By the way, when will these movies show up? When I load the game? When I qiut? When I board a ship? When I accept a mission?

      Thanks a lot.

      I don't think that EVO has any movies in it (the original, and still the best), but some plug-ins do, and as for the case of the mysterious dissapearing prefs, they default to unchecked if there are no movies in the game you are playing,so go get a plug with some movies!!! 😉

      That is correct; EVO in itself comes with no quicktime movies. (Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb! If you're gonna include the option, don't just have it there for 3rd party stuff!!!) The only plug I can think of that has movies and is out right now is FH or FF, I can't remember which one. I think it's FF. Rest assured that Meowx plugs like Dark Realms and Project Nebula will have plenty of movies! (And an option not to download them, in case you have a slow connection... :D)

      C'est FH, pas FF. Les films font planter la plupart des ordinateurs (y compris mon iMac), donc Martin Turner n'en a pas mis dans FF.

      Itr's FH, not FF. Quicktime movies crash most of the CPU (including my iMac), so Martin Turner didn't put any in FF.

      They've always crashed for me, using Frozen Heart, too. Anyone know how to make it work??? I'd really like to include movies in my plug-in, and it would be feasible for me too, but I can't distribute something that won't even work on my own computer, can I?
