Aztec wrote on Sun, 21 May 2023 12:57Hi
I would really like to play this mod but after installation I have a problem with both exe files
with ja2_5465_npc+attachment-fix - Hex_2.exe
I can hear only initial sound but my screen is black. I can not do anything
with JA2_5472_npcfix_DE.exe
After initial video my screen goes black too
And I this mod all in German?
Any help?

When starting new game, FFF-1.13 will try to play two Intro-files
The second one can cause a blackscreen
Both of those video-files use rather old formats: .smk and .bik
And while .bik might be supported by newer OS-Systems, it's rather unlikely for .smk
The first video-file used is in .bik-format and that one usually plays
The second one is in .smk and often causes blackscreen
Solutions:
Toggle Possible Solutions
Choose one
1.
hit "Esc" while the first video is playing, that'll skip videos and you can start (at what would be Desktop in 1.13, just looking a little different in FFF-1.13 - at the cigarette package is "shut down" to get to map-view)
2.
go to folder Data-FFF/Intro and delete or rename "Omerta.smk"
3.
in "ja2.ini" (main game folder),
look for "PLAY_INTRO = 1" (it's the last line, very bottom) and change it to "PLAY_INTRO = 0"
doing this, Intro-Videos won't be played at all
4.
in folder Data-FFF, open file "IntroVideos.ini"
and delete the ";" at Intro_Omerta
- before:
[INTRO_BEGINNING]
INTRO_REBEL_CRDT = INTRO\INTRO_MASTER
;INTRO_OMERTA = INTRO\Omerta
;INTRO_PRAGUE_CRDT = INTRO\Prague_cr
;INTRO_PRAGUE = INTRO\Prague
- after:
[INTRO_BEGINNING]
INTRO_REBEL_CRDT = INTRO\INTRO_MASTER
INTRO_OMERTA = INTRO\Omerta
;INTRO_PRAGUE_CRDT = INTRO\Prague_cr
;INTRO_PRAGUE = INTRO\Prague
and put the file "Omerta.bik" from zip you found this readme in
into Data-FFF/Intro
It's the former .smk-video converted to a .bik (sound got lost during convertion, but it's just a short slideshow like video anyway ...)
If you want to try solution 4, you'll need the file "Omerta.bik" (coverted from .smk) Can be downloaded here FFF-1.13+Intro-Solutions (mediafire)

Tested this with version of FFF-1.13 I downloaded at Bear'sPit Forum in March 21, if it ever gets updated this solution may becomes obsolete
Also:
The interface is a little tricky. sometimes you have to fumble around a little to find the exact spot to close a window, etc)
Sometimes it's hard to see, like the "shut down" at the cigarettes (to get to overview)
It did run on Win10 with both, english JA2 version from Steam and german JA2 version from CD
The original FFF was a german mod, that's why the texts in Intro are german, game itself will be english
Use "ja2_5465_npc+attachment-fix - Hex_2.exe" with english JA2
and "JA2_5472_npcfix_DE.exe" with german JA2 (game UI in geman)
It's a rather challenging mod, I got wiped out quite a few times (haven't completed it yet).
