Warhammer 1+2 Cinematics (CAVEAT - READ DESCRIPTION!)

This mod adds the Warhammer 1+2 cinematics back into the game. There is a BIG caveat with this mod, and that is that it overwrites the Warhammer 3 cinematics and some spell tutorial videos. CA COULD VERY EASILY FIX THIS if they just ported the cinematics into game 3. So if you want that to happen MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD ON THE SOCIALS.

What does this mean for you? It's simple! Turn this mod on when playing WH1 and WH2 factions. Turn it off when playing WH3 factions!

Click here to read how to activate each cinematic.

The cinematics are: Tomb Kings Quest for the Black Pyramid, Vampire Coast Hunt for Amanar, Hunter and the Beast, Silence and the Fury, Shadow and the Blade, Twisted and the Twilight, Warden and the Paunch, Race for the Vortex cinematics (Lizardmen, Skaven, High Elves, Dark Elves), Warhammer 1 intro cinematics (Karl Franz, King Louen, Khazrak, Malagor, Morghur, Archaon, Thorgrim, Grimgor, Wulfrik, Mannfred, Orion, Durthu).

Special thanks to Drazhir for critical information and Dux for LUA scripting advice.


Please check out the other mods I work on:
Legendary Lore by IfThenOrElse - This mod generates text popups for various actions such as defeating Legendary Lords, capturing settlements and recruiting units.
Victory Conditions Overhaul by Wolfy - This mod replaces the default short and long victory objectives with three unique routes each with their own narrative and rewards.
Smart Throgg Voice Pack – Replaces Throgg’s voice lines with a new script and performance faithful to David Guymer's portrayal of Throgg in Kinslayer.


I don’t think the cinematic is working? – Enable context viewer in mod settings from the main menu to watch for script breaks. Script breaks will kill this entire mod. These are caused by other buggy mods you are running in the vast majority of cases, which I have no control over.
Do I need VCO to run this mod? – Many cinematics will run without VCO, but several will not, because the conditions to activate them will never be met without VCO enabled. Example: the cinematic of Deathmaster Snikch getting Malus Darkblade’s daemon powers only activates if you defeat Malus Darkblade in the final quest battle. That final quest battle never triggers in Immortal Empires base game. You need VCO to make the quest battle appear.
Why did you have to replace WH3 cinematics to make this work? – This is a complicated question to answer. Porting cinematics is very easy, but they have no audio attached. Porting audio is very difficult. To connect audio to cinematics is a complex process that is beyond my skill. So I used the WH3 cinematics that already have audio and cinematics connected together. Of course, all this could be avoided if CA simply ports them into game 3.
Why is this mod 8GB file size? – That is the size of the cinematics and the audio from WH2 + WH1.
Why are there no subtitles? – The replace method makes subtitles not function correctly.
Does this mod work in multiplayer? – I have not tested in multiplayer, but it should work. Report your experiences below.

Enjoy!
