Here's the first little tibit off info I've got. Turning off the intro movies.

1. Copy config.z2f to a backup folder.
2. Rename config.z2f to config.zip and unzip it somewhere using winzip or a similar tool.
3. Inside the now gotten config folder there will be 33 xml files, open movies.xml in your favorite text editor (eg, notepad or something) and change the "true" to "false" on the very first line.
4. Save/close and rezip the config folder. Make sure that the files keep the folder structure, in other words, movies.xml must be inside the config\ folder, even in the zip file.
5. Rename the new config.zip to config.z2f and copy/move it to your game dir.
6. If it didn't work, remember you'll have the backup from step 1.

Or just left click on the movie as soon as it starts.

Spin, if clicking or pressing esc didn't work, it was probably because you opened the game for the first time. Same thing happens in RCT3.


BTW, I don't have ZT2 but if clicking etc only skips one thing at a time, I've found as in most games, pressing Esc skips all.

Clicking works (it's 3 times btw), this still goes faster.

Nobody got that it was just to show how easy editing the xml's is now
