Oh, it's okay, none of us have the time we want to. Even myself, I began working on game translations and got carried away from here for ~2 years, I guess...

Anyways, things are going slower than I wished.

Basically it's a file that, when extracted, gives you some cinematics that (in the case of Constructor, you can't play it fully without getting error screens when winning or losing the game) can be interesting on having along the game.
Now what thais does in Constructor? Remember that there's a small screen showing the System 3 logo right? If those files are extracted on the game's folder, it shows cinematics of the tenants, HQs, intros and outros, the You Lose cinematic, and some other stuff (like when you enter the Cement factory and turn it on, it shows the machinery animation, or when you are refurnishing some house, for example)
I thought it should be a nice addition to those who can't/don't want to mount ISOs on DOSBox, and want to to have a clean installation without the trouble of mounting/installing.

Ah I see. So it can be added with a note that it will make some troubles?

It will resolve some troubles, no?

Yes, you got it (wow, I never thought that it would go way out from what I wanna mean

)

Actually, when you play without the FMV files, every time you win or lose, the game prompts you out of the game because you don't have a specific file, and that annoys me. So this extra file you can download (~200MB) adds those missing files so you can play it fully without problems, just like you should at the time when the CD were sold.
Sorry if the mesage before meant another thing.

Oh, I am Russian, so I cannot judge how close was your reply.

But I have long years playing with "movies/sound addons" by different warez groups after they ripped it before, so I perfectly got what did you mean.
