I seem to remember a lot more than 20 cameras, but thanks for the tip, I hadn't known that.



You mean a message like "Heeyyyy, Security has been lowered, nice job"? Only, you know, not quite so casual. Yeah, I like that.



<strike>How did you send them? Checkin' the email and PMs and it doesn't seem to have come in either.</strike>

Nevermind, I'm stupid.

Those are a nice start WhiteRabbit. I'll send them along to G`Len and we can see what he thinks. As far as I'm concerned we should totally use them (Although there are some that are missing). Thanks, I appreciate it. :thumb:

If I can find the textures Crion did on the old harddrive, I'll see if I can put together a chart of how they all line up.

I've just looked through White rabbit's textures and they're on several levels, that is, some are simply great :thumb:, some are just passable, but nothing is bad. Keep up the good work! Welcome aboard!

Oh, and they still have to be converted to the SS2 format (PCX or GIF, shared palette). Animated textures (such as the viral residue) have to be named in the SS2 standard (look at any animated texture in fam.crf).

I've made a few upgraded textures a few months ago, mostly object textures (crates, computer nodes and furniture) and a few screens; I'll upload them seperately from the rest for WhiteRabbit to take a look at.

By the way, WhiteRabbit, could you rebuild computer screen textures?

A few resources for our use:
(http://www.ttlg.com/ss1/citadel/html/menu.html) The Guide to Citadel Station, a TLLG site which gives you a quick tour os the station, just to bring you up to speed.

(http://www.ttlg.com/ss1/voiceres/index.htm) Voice of the Resistance, another TTLG site hosting all the logs and e-mails from SS1; the audio is in RealAudio, however, and the convertor to wave is no longer available for download; I suggest we use this site for the texts/images and Glen's extractor for the sounds.

(http://www.ttlg.com/other/jukebox/ss1.htm) SS1 Music, by Chicajo (IIRC); fully usable, just convert back to WAV; someone will still have to fit this into the SS2 song system, however.

(http://www.ttlg.com/ss1/archive/cinematics/ssintro.zip) The SS1 intro movie, in MPEG format (it will have to be converted to AVI), compiled by Mike Zuber; I'd like to know how the movies are stored on disk and how we could convert the two remaining ones (game over and endgame) to SS2-compatible AVIs.

(http://tsshp.sourceforge.net/glen/ss1.html) Last but not least - Glen's site (Glen, not G'len, it's not me), has SS1 levels converted to SS2, sound and graphics extractors and some textures.

Maybe assigning specific logs or e-mails to each person might help, but then again, me being me, you have to hurl me in a certain direction before I clue into what I'm supposed to be doing. :angel:

There's something I stumbled across during my game today. Y'know the e-mails from Anna Parovski? They play at different points during the game depending on how far in you are. If the laser is destroyed, I believe once you get in the Deck R-2-3 elevator, you get the first e-mail, upon arriving on deck 5, you get the second. If the laser is intact, upon arriving on deck 5, you get e-mail #1, when you reach the area with Gray on the walls, you get the second e-mail. How should we handle this?

Also, been poking around the .str files, and was just wondering, what's going to be done with the e-mail and log portraits? I don't remember every single one of the log creators having a portrait, are they just going to be left blank? And the section for LogIcon and EmailIcon . . . what should we do with them?

Okay, okay, I'll shut up now. :angel:

Yes, by all means - do it! I'll work on the models (a few are yet needed), you'll have to ask Zygoptera about the technical effects (cameras, c-space and so on) since I want to use the two-and-a half days of the weekened for modelling; logs should be almost ready text-wise, but you'll have to extract the sounds.

[(http://www.musicexplosion.net/glen/SS1Decks.zip]The) latest version of the SS1 levels, as far as I know, is here. I'll upload the rest of the files once I get home.
