All of the cutscenes except for the .bik files (found in /data/movies) are found in the data\cinematics\cinematics.big file as modifiable .txt files.
Since these are simple text files, it is possible to actually modify and make your own videos, but this has never been tried.
SWAP CUT SCENES AND ADD CUT SCENES
It is fairly easy to make it so several cutscenese are shown at once, or swapping any cutscene with another cutscene.
The exception are these ending cutscenes:
...the game ends after at least one of these ending cutscenes.
Below is case 1-1 in data/datafile.big/missions.txt.
I modified this mission so that there are three back to back videos/cutscenes, starting with605_survivor_deaths.
605_survivor_deaths replaced the original 024_framed in the safehouse. 024_framed is the cutscene where Stacey and Chuck watch the news of "chuck" blowing the zombie gate on the news.
Moved to Royal Flush
Video of all survivor death scenes, including 4 suicides:
Backgrounds only show up in correct area
The cutscene location and Chuck's location need to be the same, otherwise the background is black.
For example, if you are in the safehouse and it is a cutscene in the safehouse, the video will show normally.
But if you are in the safehouse and the cutscene is supposed to take place in the underground, the background will be black, and only props (items) and characters will show up in the video.
I tried to make all the 142 non-ending cutscenes start from the beginning of the game, but got stuck in the empty arena again, where you always end up if there is an error at the beginning of the game. I probably put the coding in incorrectly.
From dengarde, how to remove items from cutscenes:
This removes GateHackThingy_Object from Data/cinematics/cinematics.big/54b_Hack_the_gate.txt
