How to fix the AvP background + theme
By Hinsonator and 1 collaborators
Just thought i'd add a small guide for those who want to change AvP's background to what it was back in 1999.

Background
This is the easiest of the two steps. Starting off the background should look like this.
To fix this you go to where your Steam copy of AvP is located. You can do this by right-clicking on Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000 in your library and going to it's properties. From there, click on the "LOCAL FILES" tab and then "BROWSE LOCAL FILES...".
When there, go to the folder called "FMVs" and delete a file called Menubackground.bik. Create a backup if you feel that you may want to change it back.
Your AvP background should now look like this.
Music
The menu theme used in the steam version is the gold edition main menu theme - the original menu theme is different.
This step is a little more... challenging because it's hard to find the file without having an original CD copy of AvP.
This table will allow you to compare both themes (original and gold edition)
Aliens versus Predator Gold
Aliens versus Predator
For this guide i've uploaded my copy of the theme, you can download it here.[drive.google.com]
Send the file you downloaded off my Google Drive previously to the same place as you deleted the animated background.
When starting the game your menu theme should sound like the one used in the original release, if you completed the instructions correctly.
Extra Infomation
For those who want the orignal FMVs and uncut Predator Intro here are the download links.

Evilheavy for getting the AvP theme off the CD and testing if it's compatible. *perspective change* I also made a few changes to the guide to make it slightly easier to follow. (Hopefully anyways... heh heh heh.) Hopefully I didn't butcher the original guide :P

Thanks for the original sound file. You can do the same thing for the original FMVs. Back up the Steam version of the FMV files, then download the originals and place them into the FMVs folder: http://www.moddb.com/mods/aliens-versus-predator-classic-redux/downloads/original-ingame-fmvs

There's also a different menu track you can put in that uses original music from Aliens and Predator: http://www.moddb.com/mods/aliens-versus-predator-classic-redux/downloads/avp-redux-main-title
