What mods should I install?
I have a current PC running XP.
I have SHTUP already installed.
I've heard of SHTUP, Rebirth, Straylight, and Deepfriedbeer sound upgrade.

If I were you, I'd keep it as it is. To me, SHTUP is the only one worth having on a first run.

Thanks!
I think I'll just stick with SHTUP.

ugh, well I WAS going to be playing SS2 for the first time.. but it won't run. I've tried every single solution listed on this site (yes, all of them). Nothing works for me. I get the black screen of death after the opening cinematic (that won't play).
I think I just need to walk away before I end up breaking something.
Are there any emulators that will emulate a windows 98 environment? Its times like these that I wish I had some ancient computer sitting around.

When exactly do you get the black screen? Before or after the level loading?
Tye7 on 2/7/2007 at 22:03
after the opening vid, I get a loading screen. The bar loads to 100% and then the game crashes.

You added the safe_texture_manager line to cam.cfg (or user.cfg) right?
Tye7 on 3/7/2007 at 00:11
Yep, tried User.cfg and shock.cfg too.

If you had to create user.cfg yourself, is it named user.cfg or user.cfg.txt? Many people do this incorrectly because they have 'Hide extensions for known file types' flagged.
