Cut Scenes

In FO2 near the beginning of the game, usually in travel between klamath and the den, there is the cut scene where the mutant (I think its horrigan) blows away some farmers. I'm looking for code that launches this. Has anyone seen it? There is another one in SF when you ask the computer what happened to matt.

I wonder if they used the recording feature to save the files (SDF abd VCR) and have a way to launch those to make cut scenes. Or if not, how did they make cut scenes. Any ideas?

EDIT: If I enter recording mode and select gammovie.map, I'm in the cut scene near the den. Hmmm and I can open that map in the mapper tool. Yep its horrigan, and the script attached to him is ecbdygrd.int. Seems the mapper didn't include the source for that one. Decompiling with noid's tool yields this. Ah yes, there's the farmer and children, animations. I guess its not a cut scene in the usual sense, its straight animation. Some very interesting code in there!
 
The set enncounters are launched by the engine at a certian time. This 'call' is hard coded into the Fallout2.exe so when making a mod you will need to find something to replace this encounter, or use the FO2 virtual patcher I think
 
It usually happens between Klamath and the Den? Wow, you must spend a long time in Klamath (I think it's scripted to occur sometime in August of the year you start the game). I almost always encountered it travelling from the Den to Vault City.
