1)anybody knows if out of flash movies you could create files that myth II reads as myth II movies for intros?
2)if not out of flash, what program would you need to use to do so?
3)and how do you change the visuals of the menu of myth II to make it look different from the black crow it originally comes with?
4)and to change the music?
thanks!!!

The cutscenes currently must be saved in .smk Smacker format. There are tools available to mess w/ it, google for it.

As for music and graphics, it's all in the tags, so you need to edit them with tag editing utilities (fear, amber, etc).

thanks myrd, found a link to smk files,
anybody interested here's a link to it:

http://www.radgametools.com/smkdown.htm

suposedly it converts AVi files to smk files
couldn't test it cause I'm on a mac though...

so what would be the tag name you need to change to make the background and music change?
Anybody knows where can I download a tag extractor for mac?
I'm in another country for a month and I don't have my myth cd here...

You need the older version of the smacker tools. The version that can use smacker version 3 files. If I remember correctly. William Wallace asked this same question a few months ago, and after messing around with it for a few hours (and hexing the damn cutscenes) I found his answer. Search the forums for Cutscenes.

It's WALL-ET. Hahah :P

Anyway - yeah. I can't wait to make my cutscenes, but Da Cid took his camera home and we're bogged down, can't begin now! (he's walking around me getting annoyed).

SMKS. Suck ass.
Okay I got the models but now I'm too dumb to do anything with 'em
