« on: 22. November 2022, 09:47:27 »Finally, I've managed to play this FM (yeah, a proper vacation since 2018). And I had a blast! It felt like a SS1, but ultra-compacted to 3 levels. But thought it would be longer. Found two rapiers and three scorpions, secret tunnel on S-W and 0-floor on level 1. New audiologs were cool (funny shodan voice though), great music, and a very carefully crafted level design and scripting. Thank you for the awesome FM, I've literally spent two days playing it

« on: 28. December 2019, 12:22:06 »So I finished the mod, but I didn't get to see half of the engineering level, I couldn't find a way into the maintenance tunnels at all, and never got to go into cyber space on that level either due to the security level. I thought going through the hidden entrance in the healing suite was the way to progress and unlock all of that back on the engineering level, but it turned out to be the end with the SHODAN fight.
While I enjoyed the mod, I'm a little confused, what's the point of the maintenance tunnels if the path is just to get the healing suite key and go through the hidden elevator path to SHODAN?
Also how does one even get into the maintenance tunnels in the first place? I'd love to replay it and explore that area soon.

If there would be a giant game breaking bug, then fixing is necessary. Also, its a good trait to know WHEN TO STOP updating stuff, otherwise you won't be able to move on 
Regarding abandoning compatibillity for the sake of evolition. I totally agree. I would make fanmissions for the sourceport only. But using the old enhanced edition is quicker and easier. It's neat that the editor allows saving resources in a way that just patch over existing ones while omitting original ones. But I rather have a full resourcefile with changed and original resources than a resource file with only changed resources. And the side effect is that backward compatibillity will stay intact until the SP allows total control over everything, even code changes per ini file.

But on a bug, I will try later once more to confirm : Not any SHODAN to kill !Just two mobs, loss of nearly control, screen starting to fade on Shodan's face, even if I exit the Cyberspace LOL...
Anyway, not so a big deal, hoping it is some kind of the same ending in the original game...
Thanks for the feedback.
If you would've read the install_instructions.txt that comes with rewired. it Says:
//KNOWN BUGS
////////////
It might happen that the SHODAN critter sprite becomes invisible but she will still sit on her throne, so keep shooting if that happens.
Difficulty is OK, areas are huge, even too much some times, the maze aspect is cool ! Even in Cyperspace, really, really good job. And thanks to the maze aspect, I presume there are some "replaying" possibilities...
^ There is two ways to level 3. One of them lets you skip all cyberspace terminals except for the final one. And yes, when you get kicked out or killed by SHODANs guards and land outside in the realworld. She will still pixelate your screen and kill you. That's intentional.
Oh, and i found a glitch/bug, I think : in the Throne room, the "ramp" to the windows just facing the long ramp to the cyber port, between the entrance and the Cortex Reaver, is radiations/poisonning free... Maybe it's on purpose, maybe not...
^ That is correct. Updating the mod to fix such a small issue is a problem. Because doing so would make your old savegames incompatible. So it will stay in the mod. I'm sorry.
Thanks you so much again for your feedback! And who knows, maybe one day someone will make a french translation of my mod. The files to do so are here.

« on: 11. July 2018, 02:52:34 »Well, I could also just take the Hatsune Miku vocoder and let her speak my SHODAN?I've heard that there is software that can learn to 'copy' a person's voice, so that you run a few pre-recorded files of speech through the program (or just get the person to speak into the PC's microphone whilst the program is monitoring the microphone), and then the program can 'speak' in a good approximation of the person's voice.
Miku talking down on Hacker: "You have listened to my songs for the last time, baka!"any interesting source port related fixes?
I added empty strings to some logs and texts so they dont crash anymore. Axemeleon already fixed the bug gamecode wise, but there might be other sourceports in the future that might not be so lucky. So by default I decided to always add empty strings by editing the .res file directly with the tool he send me after I changed them with schocked/hacked.
Some screens refering to surveilance cameras the player interacts with crash the game when he exits them. Axemeleon also did change this in the game code. And I also figured out that no alternative picture source is needed to display them. So whenever you have a surveilance camera set up in your mod, make sure to set "alternative sources" to 0 in the editor for screens in question.

« on: 10. July 2018, 18:14:28 »wasn't aware of such a thing - I'm thinking that while it probably won't be good enough to emulate Garrett for example, it could be sufficient for Shodan, as the added distortion would mask the flaws quite efficiently, I'd imagine. basically, if you can generate a voice that sounds somewhat like Terri, and Shodanify it well, you could get a pretty believable Shodan voice, one that doesn't make you cringe.

If these programs did work properly, then it would be great, not only for mod-makers who want to make mods with in-game speech that matches up with the speech by characters in the original games, but it could help too if the original actors/actresses are available for hire but their voices or performances don't match their earlier work.
But since I've not (as far as I can remember) seen these sort of programs mentioned in regard to modding, am I to take it that the results of these programs aren't (yet) good enough for this purpose? A pity, if that's the case.

Lansing's recording equipment seems to be introducing some bad form of crackling noises, apart from that, not bad so far. but yeah, the Shodan stuff.. as mentioned, my brain just goes does not compute if it's not Terri. maybe some more tweaking that would get the voice lower down could help.

Hey guys, uhh let's see. I want and I will finish my Thief map. No matter what. And since I am very experienced with Dromed, SS2 would be a cakewalk to mod for. But I rather would want to continue working on my 1:1 recreation of Spencer Mansion in Thief 2.
anyway, I think I have seen voiced logs/emails for ReWired mentioned somewhere (would be great, as no System Shock FM should be without voiced mails/logs) - how are you tackling the Shodan voiceovers? I did manage to achieve decent results just by using free online voice generators when creating audio for the Minstrel AI (Ariadne), but getting such a voice to sound even remotely Shodanesque would require some serious sound editing skills.
I have an actress speaking SHODAN, and she does a great job. Rest is up to my audio editing skills, which are... let's not talk about them for the time being. And I don't fear comparisons. My SHODAN is not the same SHODAN. So we can give it our own spin. Here is all logs so far
ohh and version 1.2 is out!
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 09. July 2018, 20:26:56 »yeah, the total SS2 FM count is barely making it out of the single digit area - as mentioned elsewhere, SS2 mechanics are too complex, and assets are not generic enough to pump out new missions easily without compromising quality (a problem Thief doesn't have).

that's pretty much why my top two recommendations to anyone thinking about doing a SS2 FM are "do voiced logs/mails", and "no Shodan" - RttUNN would be a good example. almost no cringe in the audio area, especially with the latest patch.

« on: 06. July 2018, 11:22:37 »*quickly tests stuff* it can actually be anything, so it seems like you basically tell the engine to load a resource (RestabSetBase), specify the res type (mission, alog, we don't know the rest), and a filename with its location (XYZ/xyz.res).
so as long as we know the load codes for all the res types, it will be possible to load any resource via the AS file.

There is still a problem with screens that point to surveilance sources. when leaving some of them, the game crashes
Also some alternating picture sources don't work properly yet. Otherwise I wouldve repacked it already.

Why me? Why not someone else? I am done. Leave me be with sshock! I have to go back to Thief. Still got until November before the Thief 20th anniversary mapping contest on ttlg is over! LOL Just kidding... I already have an idea for a sequel. But it would require some additional changes to HUD, replacing textures maybe?, That I didnt do in ReWired. Because the sequel be a more action driven corridor shooter ala doom starring an UNN soldier that cannot be manipulated and bought. At least that's the raw idea I have. Nothing concrete. Oh and outdoor areas
I thought there was only red, blue, and green transparent force doors/plats.
Oh and access granted but door still locked. What? LGS are wizards and I think it's cool you exploited this feature that probably never existed in the original game.
I didn't even know there werent white/grey forcedoors and bridges in the original game until you told me. I guess LGS just never inserted some?
The original game doesnt use both locked parameter and access level paremeter on doors. either, or, not both.
But they use locked parameter on metal gratings, because critters try to open a metal grating that cant be opened and cause "door-open-sound-loop-chaos" how I call it.
heh, yes, the engine has quite some features and untapped potential. Even the source release uncovered a few things that I couldn't reverse engineer, as the original game didn't use it at all. I could spoil you, yet the whoa! effect would be cooler if a modder would exploit that
My level was entierly made with shocked, the old version, its not as bad as you think it is. It's amazing in its own right until hackED is fully blossomed. So don't downtalk on your beautiful shockED

that's why I'm saying that we need to get it working with the source port in a way that would only require extracting an archive, or lose 90% of the younger audience.

Is it just me getting grumpy with old age, or is it makind? Copy and paste?? Whoaa! Complicated like brain surg* !!!Installing the mod is a matter of "six easy steps," as creator the-3rdplayer explained, apparently without irony. It involves replacing some files, a process that isn't exactly brain surgery but that can be a little intimidating if you haven't done such things before.

So I send the articles in question a mail. Nicely asking to change that bit of the article. Because I feel like its robbing the community and dertseha of their achivements if it doesnt get mentioned. The only news website that did not wrote an article yet is kotaku. And believe it or not, they send me a e-mail asking me if I would answers some questions BEFORE posting some halftruth nonsense on their website. So I take the opportunity to give credit where credit is due.
