Tricks
Change mouse click sound
From a file manager, open the folder: "Program Files/GSC Game World/Cossacks II/Data/Sound/interface"
Rename the file interf_click1.wav to select1.waw (less noisy). You must provide a sound file for "select1.wav" otherwise the game will not start.
Skip intro videos
From a file manager, open the folder: "Program Files/GSC Game World/Cossacks II/Data/"
Rename the following file names (you may add "_off" for example):
- 1.bik (it is the CDV video)
- 2.bik (it is the GSC video)
- 3.bik (it is the game intro video)
