You mean this one: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Please do not post email addresses on the boards, thanks. ~Kolya]

Okay, do you mean the one that starts with letter "g", ends with "vle", and has a domain of hotmail.de?

maybe try to contact him via his youtube account.

If he does respond to you, make sure to let us know

You can always mail him, you know. If he truly stopped working on this project, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind sharing the code with you

I haven't had any contact with the developer since mid-2013, he probably go hit by a bus or something

Yo Dawg.

Anyway. We're a touch off topc aren't we?

Yeah I wouldn't go into that territory.  That sounds technically difficult/impossible.  I would shoot for a hack job of exiting shock2.exe and running shock.exe right into a new game and have it all linked up to 1 event in ss2 like clicking a button.  Maybe NV knows how to do it

There's gotta be a way for some code flag to send something outside the application to launch ss1 somehow and to rig up ss1 so that there's no option but to start the game with a set level.  This has got to be possible!

oh crap I forgot about that... but that's a gamepig mod isn't it?  Would you be able to play it full screen enough and with enough native control functionality for it to play like the original?  i have no problem with embedded app-like games but only if it's not compromised.

EDIT:  Fake?  Thought this was real?

When this is done I intend to make an SS1 FM.

Somewhat unrelated question... Is it possible to have an event in SS2, like a quest, to somehow (anyhow at all) launch an external program (maybe go right into a level of SS1?) ?  I don't care how ridiculous it is or stupid it looks as long as it happens automagically and fast enough as no to kill immersion.

yeah, this is definitely on my "things I have to see completed before I can die (un)happy" list, so I'm glad you are still here.

I did a brief update at the blog (http://revert3d.blogspot.com) However, Major changes are:
- Integrated GUI Editor (which is quite crappy but does the job for a first try)
- New GUI system with separate GUI "themes" (which is quite crappy and doesnt do the job at all and is the first thing I will kick out in anger as soon as I get back into the code)
- New scripting system. Its a total redesign for the sake of structure/useability/ease of use
- New GFX effects like blending/transparency. Take a look at the object Editor which shows a bunch of new object properties for stuff like that
- AI subroutines for the robot buddies: Well "AI" for the moment is "waiting" or "hanging around" for now. But its the first step into "letting objects do something on their own". Check out the "Crewbot" object, which has the new magic properties "AIPROFILE" and type "ACTOR". Theres also a "retreat mode" which will fire when the Buddy stands in the way, causing him to move his robot ass into another place

Please keep in mind: this version is heaviliy in-dev and was not intended as a demo. So be prepared... :p

Alright, here we go.

Revert3D v0.8.5b

Got this directly from Robert and uploaded it to my public Dropbox account.

Awesome! Thanks!  Playing around with it now...   whoa.  That was super easy!  Ooh look at that!

I think I've found it --> https://mega.co.nz/#!OoQXzYIR!bO7p1Sltr17CuotVm7sZDUzZ5GQ4m9a4oU0RJ458FEQ

EDIT: It looks like someone was faster Sorry, I haven't refreshed.

Would be nice to have that file hosted on this site since who the hell knows how long Mega will be allowed to remain open before its servers get raided too (given Kim whatshisname's past I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.)

Edit: nevermind i see you already did that. Dankee.

Note, that this is propably not the newest version.

Yeah its v0.7.6b, the first official one and also the one that is shown on youtube.
The other later one is v0.8.1b which would also be nice nice to have (hopefully someone has it too).

Anyway, thanks for sharing the files

Well before we get ahead of ourselves we need a clear roadmap.

Changing the 'stock' assets out to something less liable to get sued might be nice (then again system shock portable is kicking around just fine so hell if I know if anyone really CARES at this point.)

I'd say have multi-player be integrated in but I dunno. On the one hand i want 'the original game could run off this if you dropped the assets in' as a high priority. On the other I see this and i think less system shock and more 'this is better than the thousand and one doom source engines that are hard for noobs like me to edit and create for without tools that hardly work on my computer since I don't use windows.

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask around here if anyone still has the demo files of the engine that were released?

Since the links on the official site went down and the author didn't respond to an email I wrote him (one month ago) I would be very glad to see these files still alive (for the sake of the engine).
So whoever has relevant files for the engine (preferably the latest upload, "Demo_0_8_1b.zip"), please upload them here

Also I guess this is kind of soon to ask but are there any news yet on a possible source release of the engine? I'm a hobby programmer myself and I'd love to take a look at the code (not to mention that I would love it even more to play System Shock on it). I also wouldn't care if the code is not clean or commented enough, as long as there is anything at all

I'll ask him if he still has those binaries.

Indeed. Sure it'll be ugly and need more work but better it be somewhere people can get to. After all we're in this mess right now because the original code to SS1 is Gone and we only got NewDark (probably) because someone monkied with the partial scource release (unles they were an employee that just happened to have said source IDK.)

Look at the work done with doom since it got opened. Now we have something where at least the level architecture can be read and scripts used for event handling. I don't want to see that lost.

At any rate a friend of mine who's big into doom editing has commented the map editor is already more useable than even doombuilder (which is one of the simplist to use/easiest map making utilities.)

Then again we don't have enemy AI or any of the dozens and dozens of features like cyberspace/teleporting, gravety adjustments, enemy ai and behavior, level linking, or any of that... I think.

Not to mention lack of Logs and such.

Any idea if he was kidding?


If not I'd say Mars kindof takes just a little bit more priority.

*waiting for confirmation before nerding out*

Late reply, but both download links are giving a file not found error.

Just came here to say: Amazing work, this engine has so much potential.
I'd use it to make an exploration oriented sci-fi adventure.

man... the possibilites.

We really need a wiki and/or a forum for REVERT3D !
