Dark Avatar movies are not played!! and some more little bugs

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello!
Began to play Dark Avatar expansion. (v.1.5)
After some time discovered a horrible thing:
there is no any ingame movie played, i.e. anomaly finding movie or colony establishing movie etc. When using GC2 - all that movies are normally played.. Why so? Tried to look in options for checkbox to activate/deactivate movies - have not found, looked in prefs.ini - there is no such an option too. Please help...

And another two bugs (not so great but still):
1) When clicking the button "Planet/ship list" to open the window and then closing it using the button "x" it is closed and if to try to open it again it does not - you should click two times to open that window each time after using the closing button "x" (in original GCII - all is all right).
2) In planet "colony management" window when highlighting any tile with bonus in it, the text description of that bonus (near left bottom picture) is reversly scrolled by mouse. When scrolling mouse up - the text is scrolled down and vice versa.

And at last some proposition or what..
May be it would be useful to make a regulation of the ships' speed on general map in options menu. As for me, ships are mooving too fast.

Thanx and waiting for reply.

Forgot to specify more precisely:
1. Movies are not played in Dark Avatar campain.
2. Text is not scrolled correctly by mouse wheel.

a more thing: when starting a new game in pregame options a human special ability text "Super diplomat" - a dot is on the next line, pretty alone. It looks like:
"Super diplomat
."

And one more proposition. To make a possibility of unselecting the currently selected ship by leftclicking on the empty space of the map near this ship.
Also it looks like the checkbox in options "Enable autofocus to move camera to selected ship" doesnt work.

Does SDC show GC2, DA, and the Movies module all as correctly installed (You should update DA to 1.6 either way, while you're there)?

1)Yes, a checkbox in options window indeed doesnt work, checked or not checked - ships are always centerfocused when selected.
2)And again. Thelan Empire description of super ability in "abilities window" has the same problem as Terran (mentioned above with their super diplomat ability description) - a dot which must be at the end of the clause shifted to the next line:
"Super hivers have significant range bonuses and can build factories faster

."
The resolution is 1024/768.

3)Updated to 1.6. Movies still not appear to be. Its pity ((

4) A proposition - some wormholes should not be "singleuse" and disappear after a ship teleported usind that wormhole. That would be more challenging as to my mind.
