Couple of minor tweaks

[nrich61]

So im playing on my third game and a couple of things that annoy the s*** out of me, i hate the way the game makes me wait around to watch actions or listen to some bloody moron yell for help, was wondering if there is a way to disable any of these things:

 

1. Alien discovery zoom in, I have mixed feelings about this whole mechanic, but the main thing i want to stop is the way it zooms in, the aliens look up, then they finally move, just prolongs crap and is annoying to have to wait for this mini cinematic.

 

2. Different npc's talking and not allowing me to do anything while they do it, for example, rescue missions, when the camera pans to the location of the diplomat (or whoever), and they make there REPETITIVE spiel, at the very least i would like to be able to start moving my guys while they whine, at the best, they whine once the first turn after they are seen and shut the hell up for the next turns till they are rescued. Also some of the times when the box appears with an advisers head in missions and out of them you cant do anything till they are done blabbing.

 

3. Healing and shooting, so i can tab to another character while my guys are running to a new location, but when they heal themselves or another, i cant do squat till they are done, same with when they shoot, i want to speed things up, at the very least make the actions go faster.

 

these are my big hangups, besides some major mechanics that annoy me, but those are being addressed and im sure will be adressed as more mod options are figured out and/or opened up by firaxis.

 

 

 

Thanks for any info :)

Well, I don't know if you'd consider this help, but those zoom-in moments are called glamcams in the files and those character voice-overs are either called or tied to something called narrative or narrative moments. I've tried disabling both to no avail: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/808448-removing-glamcam-and-event-voiceovers/
