This shouldn't be sanctioned, it should be IN THE GAME to begin with.

so fucking depressing to see ancient sanction requests that probably never even got addressed. truly an awful way to handle it they should be walking back nowadays.

i want to bet they gonna say the same thing like the previous version of this mod

Sanction this please!

Should just be part of the damn game tbh

I'm not sure if it's even possible with the tools at hand, but a team voting system would be perfect for this.

Would save dozens of hours you could be playing the game instead of watching the same old cutscene for god knows how many times. Should've been an option since the release of the game imo.

Please sanction this one.

I hope this gets sanctioned. Been wanting this since release.

seems whoever was responsible for sanctioning got the rona a year early

Let's see after this patch has gone by a few weeks. would be so nice

I don't think anything will ever be sanctioned again. It's been over a year.

aaaaand i don't think it ever will be sanctioned. such a shame :)

Same. I hope it gets sanctioned as well.

Good idea for a workaround, let's see if this one gets sanctioned.

It's not sanctioned yet.

Its sanctioned, right, but I can't use it in the official realm.

So it this mod sanctioned and can be used on official realm ?

@Nostra, @Pixaal, Señor Chang responded to telopots and I responded to Señor Chang . I'm not asking for that to be implemented. I can see the confusion though because this forum style is ancient and doesn't best represent responses.

Google is your friend :) https://www.vermintide.com/news/2019/1/18/sanctioned-mods-wave-1

how the heck does sanctioning mods work? can someone give me a layman's TL;DR?

@Jolly not that that would be sanctionable, but it's not possible anyway. Cutscenes are local to the client, no one can force someone else's cutscene to skip.

@Señor Chang It basically is actually. Being able to skip cutscenes is built into the game already, probably because the devs themselves were tired of them. All this mod does is set skippable_cutscenes = true when appropriate.

@Jolly read the description.

Would be cool if the host can skip the cutscene for everyone, instead everyone needing the mod to work.

How bout FatShark just codes this into their game instead of having it as a mod?

sanction this please fatshark, we've been skipping your garbage for thousands of hours already

I was tempted to make it whisper to the player who doesn't have this mod that they should go get it, but that probably counts as "affecting other players" and would be an easy excuse for FS to deny sanctioning.

inb4 "This mod can't be sanctioned, because it will be must have and players who use it will force other players to use it."

@ Rock Tribe Bateman
And how exactly watching this damn camera pan gonna stop me from rushing through map? If anything it only going to make me more impatient.

Support, clever workaround for the Fatshark BS, if this one doesn't get sanctioned then Fatshark are just being unfair at that point.

"There's a pretty significant difference between taking your time throughout a mission and being forced to sit through a camera pan you've seen dozens if not hundreds of times."

That's right.

If you really think being forced to watch a cutscene everytime, even after you've seen it more than 10 times, is an anti-rushing technique, then what can I say, that's a very bad opinion/view/thought.

There's a pretty significant difference between taking your time throughout a mission and being forced to sit through a camera pan you've seen dozens if not hundreds of times. Hopefully this one gets sanctioned, else we may see what sort of lame excuse arises to stymie the mod's approval.

I think it's more about anti-rushing than really caring about a cinematic intro. Rushing makes the game boring, enjoy your playtime and work together.

"Aussiemon's original Skip Cutscenes mod was denied sanctioning because it affects other players who do not have the mod and "ruins their anticipation at the start of the map to have a bunch of other players running around derping during the cutscene"."

Fatshark Logic at its best.

The workaround is smart though, hopefully these anti-logic obese fishies can accept it too.
