It begins...

I was wondering why with some of the daily builds of ResidualVM Grim Fandango starts with the videos and others it starts where you last left off?

I can't exactly answer the 'why' myself, but if you take a look at your prefs file you should find a line reading last_set=XX.set. If it's there and you want to start with the opening cutscene you can delete it or comment it out. But you can also use it to hop around the game using the debug set info in the wiki. That's a little bit limited in that you start with no inventory, meaning that if you were to jump to the beaver dam, you won't have the fire extinguisher and I don't know of any command to put items into the inventory. Still, it's a way of sort of progressing through the game.

Ah right thanks.
