Removing the airport/Tenpenny cutscenes

[Brit_Bllt]

I'm trying to delete the cutscenes from Mission 2 in San Andreas (really the intro, it's just called Mission 2 in the scm file) so that when you start a new game, it drops you right into the game with no airport cutscene, no meeting Tenpenny, no instructions in the alley on how to ride a bike to Grove Street and all that. The game does what it needs to as far as marking CJ's house and handling interior access goes, and then just starts the player at a specific location. But however I try to mod around the cutscenes, the game just freezes on startup. I've tried deleting the cutscene code altogether, removing the start mission command and jumping straight to the skipped cutscene thread with no luck.

 

I've had the most luck by adding this to the start of the mission...

 

 

//-------------Mission 2---------------// Originally: Intro:INTROthread 'INTRO' select_interior 0 $5353 = 1 jump @INTRO_6707 

 

 

Which jumps right to the huge block of world-setting code that starts after the last fade...

That gets me as far as the game starting in the alley with the bike instructions and everything working fine for a few seconds. When you try to get on the bike, it crashes, and it crashes anyway after thirty seconds.

 

I'd really like to just get rid of all the cutscene junk and have the Mission 2 thread do nothing but set the @INTRO_7264 stuff (the interior, barriers and stat setting) and then just spawn CJ and start the game. I tried just tossing all the rest of the code in that thread, but the result was an otherwise playable game with a completely black screen.

 

This has to be easier than I'm making it...

That's a terrible way to skip a mission. The labeled you jumped to has a "return" opcode later in the code meant for gosub, not jump.
