Yes, if I wouldn't save space on partition C: it would be easier
to put System_Shock_Infinite in the english System Shock 2 folder
and switch between "Play FM" and "Skip FM".

Hello Matteo,

since 2000 I play System Shock 2.
In 2015 I found and played System Shock Infinite.
In 2019 System Shock 3 was announced.

A few days ago, when I read the coming of System Shock 3
is uncertain, I remembered System Shock Infinite,
which I hadn't played for years.

In 2020 I bought System Shock 2 v2.48 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10) at GOG.
This version contains two setups, setup_system_shocktm_2_2.48_(31077) in english
and setup_system_shocktm_2_2.48_(german)_(31077).

I installed the english version first.
Then I renamed the folder "System Shock 2" to "enSystem Shock 2".
Now I installed the german version, the folder is "System Shock 2".

So I can play the english or the german version of System Shock 2 as I like.
The folder, which is not played gets renamed "enSystem Shock 2"
or "deSystem Shock 2" before the start.
The path to System Shock 2 is always C:\GOG Games\System Shock 2\SS2.exe.

To play both versions of System Shock 2 and System Shock Infinite,
I installed System Shock Infinite like a portable version.

To save space on partition C: I installed it on partition E:.

I copied the content of the english "System Shock 2" folder to
a new folder on partition E: and named it "System Shock Infinite".

Then I tested three ways to install System Shock Infinite with
System_Shock_Infinite_Full_2.41b.7z.

First I used the SS2BlueModManager 1.16.1, second the SS2Tool 6.1.1.8
and last the manual install with FMSel only.

All three ways worked.

To get a clean install, I renewed the content of the folder
"System Shock Infinite" three times.

After the installation I extracted the Psi Pull Addon in the
"System_Shock_Infinite" folder.
The path is E:\System Shock Infinite\FMs\System_Shock_Infinite.

Then I activated FMSel and started System Shock Infinite via "Play FM".
This path is E:\System Shock Infinite\SS2.exe.

So I have two shortcuts on the desktop.

C:\GOG Games\System Shock 2\SS2.exe
for both versions of System Shock 2
and
E:\System Shock Infinite\SS2.exe
for System Shock Infinite.

At the moment I'm at the The Fluidics Control Computer
and it seems, that System_Shock_Infinite_Full_2.41b
is the best version of System Shock Infinite ever.

I also use Psi Pull and Psi Bolt to get things
and fight Protocol Droids for example.

System_Shock_Infinite_Full_2.41b and System Shock 2 v2.48
are the perfect match and playing System Shock Infinite is great fun.

Thanks for the version 2.41b!

Greetings

I don't think it will be quite as easy as that.

The multiplayer option itself is disabled on the new menu. But returning to the old menu is easy:

1) Open the \Intrface\ folder;
2) Remove all the files inside (like the bunch of pcx, bin and str ones), but leave the folders in (like 1_medsci1, 1_eng1 etc)

If you guys try out the mod in coop, expect the very first level to give you spawn problems for player 2. But maybe, as soon as SHOAN is dead, you will both be teleported safely to the beginning of the Von Braun. The team and I had such a shitty experience with multiplayer (bugs, and progress lost every time), that we had calmly aknowledged to ignore it. :\

edit: as Kolya mentioned, you can just remove or move the whole \intrface folder, for a quick try. Just remember that without the folders inside it, the map won't show in the levels.

And even then, back when I was playtesting, a fun(ctional) MP experience was pretty much ruled out on the basis of progression triggers not being set up with it in mind or something along those lines. You are welcome to try, and please keep us updated, but be prepared to spend a few hours practicing exasperating technomantic rituals.

Maybe this is something that could be helped with using the nuts and bolts we have gained access to in the meantime, but I will freely admit that I have not the faintest idea about any of this stuff.

Hello,

         First of all, I would like to point out, that this total conversion of the original game is nothing short of amazing work.  With that in mind, is it possible to somehow play this mission together with a friend? I understand, that it entirely disrupts the main point of the game, and the menu didn't seem to have that option, but she has been hooked on the main game and wanting more, and this seems like tons of replayable value.

also yeah, the archive attached to the first post has an extra folder that was causing the issue, will repack and reupload, most likely.

The mod is 1.5GB and cannot be uploaded through the forum. It needs to be uploaded "manually", I'll look into it.
//Done. I also made the archive name shorter to avoid long path issues.

Ok I've replaced SHTUP beta6 with SHTUP-ND beta1, and got rid of the model fix. I checked and the error I was getting was that the directory name was too long. I've shortened it and everything works now! Thank you so much!

The only error I cannot get rid of is the one that Infinite_addons_fixes keeps getting. it says: unrecognized mod type?

This is what I'm running.

Thanks I got it to work by moving the folder! But I still have the vanilla menu when I start the game and not the new Infinite menu screen.

I finished SS2 today, and really want to give Infinite a try! However, I cannot seem to get it to load, no matter what I try. I'm running the Gog version with SSTool and Blue mod manager. I've tried it with all the mods off, or all the mods on, but it doesn't seem to work. It just loads the normal game, and not infinite.

Alright, i will await further news on your progress however i will most be willing to help get coop operational onto your mod, :3

If you are willing to for go with me and some other tester for multiplayer fix, i would gladly pitch in, however due to the in-activity in the forum, i can only hope this message can get across to you, just drop down your decision and i will contact you shortly. :3

Just wanted to thank you xdiesp for this awesome mod.
I used to play SS2 every 1-2 years for the feeling of good old times and SS2 Infinite just made it better!

what was causing the problem?

That is a shame, I was hoping for a co-op playthrough like the half-life ports on console

I read earlier in the thread that apparently a bunch of patches ago people tried multiplayer on this and they were able to show up on the ship, so i guess this is sort of a regression of an unsupported feature?

I'm afraid so, the scripts would only work for the server side. We were able to have another player tagging along, but only for a short while and pretty buggy. 

If you have a friend crazy enough to try, ask them to play a parallel game to yours: if you keep in contact, you can get each other out of dead ends.

Hi, i have a question, i'm really bad for modding some game but i really love this game and this mod. But i'm french and my english is not really good and i don't understand all the new dialogues.
I just wanna know if there is subtitle with this mod ?
And where i can found the file for translate it if nobody do it.
Thank

If your up for a challenge - To take a page from a competition we attempted here a few years ago. Try turning the training bits into playable levels.

By training I'm referring to the bits at the start of the game where you select which training you want to do, which in turn results in you receiving stat bonuses.

Your the sort of person that I know could accomplish it, given the great work you did on the existing version of this mod.

Sounds cool! I enjoyed Infinite, so might be worth a play.

iwantss3: thanks! I loaded the savegame and first the air regulator played the wrong audio file, then crashed. You might be using a slightly outdated version of the mod, before the recent swap of audio files (and latest round of fixes). Try this and save on different slots, in case the bug reappears:

1) Keep playing with your current version: destroy the cysts blocking the door with this fix, and move to the tear (or further in the level) without using the air regulator.

2) Apply the latest patch 2.41: then proceed with this save, made right before the Body.
[Save before Many.7z expired]
[Laser vs Cyst.7z expired]

your own crash.dmp would be nice as well.

iwantss3: see if you can reload a savegame, from before you entered the Body of the Many. If you don't have one, you may skip that part of the level and just continue forward. If that's not acceptable, send me your savegame (current or immediately previous).

If I remember correctly, Dark Archon used to have a crash in the Brain area.

Hi guys!

I love the game and love the mod, but I have the same problem as Dark Archon. After applying the vial in the storegeroom korenchin starts speaking and after he finishes it the game crashes. I tried to run into the tear in the next room, it loaded fine, but when I went back to the reality game crashed

What shall I do?

Thank you!

forgot to say I have 2.44 version

I've updated the Addons & Fixes file on Moddb with the new German translation, and an addon which brings back Kinetic Redirection. As usual, big thanks to UNN Atropos which managed the newly moved logs from v2.41.

Any further change will have to wait until next year!

I updated both files on Moddb with the latest fixes. Testing went well, so I had the time to add a few extras. Now there's a note by Shephard hinting at saving before bulkheads, and there's more details in the finale. Meanwhile, I experiment with those custom levels.

Alas, it still falls after Korenchkin's messages.
