Neat. I'd like to try making the widescreen Hor+ instead of Vert-, and also add a way to turn off the awful sprite filtering when you get close to in-game sprites

Thank you for your reply.

I've read GPL 2 FAQ and there are two points which look contradictory to me. On one hand, it says that the author themself is not bound by GPL and, as you say, can do with his program whatever pleases him. On the other hand, it says that the developer who had released a program under GPL can't later license it to another party for exclusive use.

I should say that I have a great respect for Malba Tahan, he's obviously a very talented programmer and a really nice person. I have nothing against Night Dive as well and most certainly don't want to cause them any headache. I'm not interested in stirring any trouble for the sake of it, I'm only interested in the source code. There's a lot to learn from it and I'd hate to see it lost the way the original System Shock's code was lost.

I have a question for people who happen to be more knowledgeable than me on the subject of GPL and GPL violations. Looking over the source code of SHLINK, I've noticed that some of the files contain a copy of GNU GPL license which states, among other things, that SHLINK is released under the terms of the license in question. Considering that EE's loader is a derivative work based on SHLINK's source code, am I right in assuming that the license extends to it and dictates that its source code must be made available as well?

System Shock Classic and Enhenced edition, today was relesed on GOG.
Enhenced edition runs naticely on Windows with music.

yes, everything is working, except for the background music.

Awesome. Can we use this combined with the mouse-look mod?

when he says no music... does that mean he got sound effects working?

is this project dead?

1st: Malba Tahan, you are teh_man! Thank you very much for bringing in your coding/analyzing skills for a good thing! ( U) And of course all the rest of the gang who did that important work which lets us enjoy one of the greaterestest games in a very new dimension. You guys are awesome!
(Enough ball licking for now..)

shlink is the way to go if you don't have a super-computer like all the cool kids and can play on 13000x37000 resolutions at 1337 FPS.
Like me on a Core2Duo 2,13GHz, 3GB RAM, 1000MB GT220M i'm having problems playing with SSP's DOS-Emulation.
With SSP even at 640x480 its not running at full-speed and gives a notable lag compared to the far superior shlink variant.

The music can be played via Winamp or whatever player you prefer, there is enough extracted music out there in the interwebz which sounds actually better than the original music with... the stock MIDI setup... and even REMIXES! I collected all the available music, sorted it by Level on the station, put it in folders and if i enter a different zone i just ALT+TAB out and switch to the folder of the current zone i'm in at the moment to have the right music playing.

Anyways, playing alone is only half the fun which brings me to my current problem and reason why i'm posting here.
I want to stream System Shock 1 via twitch.tv but i encountered a problem which makes it impossible or at least really uncomfortable for me to do so
Btw i use OBS OpenBroadcasterSoftware to stream games.

1st scenario: If i try to record and stream the game in fullscreen mode it's not capturing every layer i think but only the top-layer which is only text.

Fullscreen monitor capture mode:

1st seconds in the game

The millisecond i switch to the System Shock.exe

2nd scenario: I want to play in windowed mode but it's not scaling up properly

Windowed mode

TL;DR: Want to stream on twitch but fullscreen capture is not capturing the game properly and gives black screen and windowed mode is not scaling up, plz helpz! kkthx?


EDIT: Apperently spoilers are not what i expected in this forum. How do i make pictures visible and not just links ?

best news this year.

and enjoy the ceremony.

Oh, right. Silly me.

Thank you, guys

I'm currently very busy, but I haven't given up on this. I'm currently studying (Computer Science), and I'll graduate by the end of 2014... I expect to keep working on this after graduation.

Any news on this guy?

Okay this is hopefully the final stupid question, but... does mouselook mean I can look up and down? If so mouselook isn't working.

Right... when it comes to SS I'm a complete newbie. I'm struggling with conflicting instructions from comments in this thread, the readme included with shlink and the instructions on the SSP post.

Do I still enable mouselook etc as per the SSP instructions? I've tried it and mouselook appears not to be working with shlink. Just looking for a quick "easy guide" for a quick set-up for best possible graphics, mouselook and as many of the SSP enhancements that will work with shlink.

Thanks in advance. Oh and cheers voodoo47.

EDIT: Main point of confusion in the shlink readme is some mention of OCDSHOCK.EXE, as I'm not sure if I need to do anything with this or not, maybe it's the way the readme was written or maybe it's just my head is fried, either way I'm a little perplexed.

Cheers for clearing that up. Now, reading the enhancements list on the SSP post, would these be integrated into my game if I played using Shlink (main ones I'm worried about being audio logs and basically getting the game to look like it does in the SSP screenies. I'd be happy with it looking like the screenies in all honesty.

Just read this entire thread to see if it's worth playing yet or not. Have attempted SS only once, and if I recall correctly it was the SSP version, and back then I think the barrier was lack of mouselook and terrible performance.

So, in summary/to clarify:
1. If I were to get SSP and Shlink, would I have a relatively stable game perhaps able to be completed, that would run decently and have music?
2. Would these specs work, d'ya think:
Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500 2.3GHz
3Gb RAM (ok probably not relevant but for the sake of completion!)
Intel Mobile Graphics 4 Series
Win7 X64.
3. I think another reason for not getting past the first 2 minutes was the godawful low res. I'm fairly certain it was lower than 640x480. What's the smoothest I can get this game looking?

Thanks guys. Only inspired to play SS after replaying SS2 way too many times. Oh and I'm waiting to play SS2 on a different machine

Well that was a long time ago (Well, a couple months ago to be exact), not experiencing that anymore. Well at least I'm using SSP 1.2.2 before. So my only problem now are dragging the window, resolution problem and no music.

Yep, For example when you move the window it just magically moves to the bottom so I have to restart the whole app again so it is in the correct orientation. And the other one was leaning and crouching where it crashes the whole app if you do it more often. Well it only happened to me when I first used the app.

Yeah, much faster than DOSBox, though shlink has a couple of bugs.

Hi, I'm just gonna ask if shlink is still being worked on because I would love to have music in it plus the latest was like 2 years ago.

if you are using shlink, 640*480 is all you are going to get, no matter what kind of install did you use as base.

I don't think resolutions larger than 640*480 are supported - you are probably confusing this with System Shock portable (which does support 800*600 and 1024*768).

Thank you, guys

that's good to hear - and good luck with your studies.

I must say , this is great .
Is it still being worked on ?

forgot about that. virtual keyboard maybe?
