System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition Update & Community Participation

Meh, modern games have a hundred times as many asset files as SS2.

Oh for sure, there's a ton of overhead right now, but my sanity starts slipping going through that obj folder, while other games nicely structure their files in neat subfolders.

But it would be nice to be able to tell the engine to tweq through index 0-24 of a .bin that could contain any number of meshes without having a massive amount of blah_0-100.bin taking up visual space in the obj folder.


But again, dark engines ways of animations keeps coming back and haunting me, so many things possible if everything wasn't so hardcoded and locked down with the database, rigs and use.

Random thought:

Theoretically with a hundred of bins it should be possible to sort of replicate an animated enemy right now, including virtual vhots for attachments and such, minus the nice blending and all that.

this reminded me - yeah, being able to modify fonts in some way that's not THAT wouldn't be bad.

So I don't know when this was made, but on GOG there is a store page. Still nothing on Steam yet but this has some new info on it.

well, we can now be sure a Voodoo3 ain't gonna cut it no more if nothing else.

Discover how a haunting story, riveting gameplay, and a terrifying atmosphere have made System Shock™ 2 one of the greatest games of all time.

Does this mean they have officially added a rivet gun as a new weapon?

Oh yeah, Unicode support with Unicode fonts and .str files extending and overriding instead of only overriding other .str files lower down the hierarchy would be great.
