    [​IMG] I don't know what happened to my Disc 3, but everytime I try to enter the Gnoll stronghold, it hangs during the cinematic. Is there anyway to remove the cinematic or stop it from playing? I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to enter the Gnoll stronghold if the cinematic is removed.

    If it isnt in config, or in the game options, try something else. Go for a complete install and put all the movies on your hdd. If the movie is corrupt it wont transfer. If it does, you should be ok.

    If the cinematic on your disc doesn't work, try to copy it from a friend or somethin'. Maybe it's available somewhere on the net?

    But you shouldn't let this pass out of your mind ;P Fix it! I'd be happy to help if you need to find the cinematic. Send me a PM if you want it.

    Just make a copy of any other cinematic file and rename it MOVIECD3.BIF. It will be weird to see an inappropriate movie (I'd suggest using the FAI movie, MOVIECD2.BIF, or the Durlag movie, MOVIECD6.BIF) but you should manage to get in the stronghold safely.

    The "movies" folder under the BG directory won't appear if you haven't done a custom install and selected at least one movie. I would advise doing a full install of both BG and ToSC. Although the install weighs 2.5 GB, it's worth every byte of it. No disc swapping and no risk to scratch your valuable cds more than they apparently already are.
