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

:erm: Need another log convertor? *smiles sweetly*
Unfortunately, that's the only thing I have the time and knowledge to do.....if not, that's fine.

I converted and letterboxed the intro movie for SS2 compliance, but finding a free webspace provider with both a >20mb storage limit and a large enough file size limit is very annoying. Do you still need it?

If someone are interested to know, I have converted intro movie from System Shock Mac-version to playable AVI version. Unfortunately I don't know how to convert other movies (end movie, death movie etc.) to AVI.
So does anybody who have knowledge of mac fileformats (forks and resources and so on) to accomplish this?
I will later upload AVI-file and provide link to it here.

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?No kidding? I never knew that. I thought they were both at Deck 5.

Err... Could it be a message like "Security level is now 90%" or something, then go away? Its possibly suggested and might be hard to remember if you just loaded a game, but it seems like the easiest route.
No, that would be the route to be most like System Shock 1, certainly not the easiest. But we probably can't do it by a percentage number. The extent of what we can do is probably have "Security level has been lowered" come up on the screen.

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.

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.
I might have later ones in the bowels of my computer somewhere, I'll check into it.
[EDIT] Yeah, those are dated. I do need the newest Shock.gam whenever though.[/EDIT]

Yeah, I suppose I can do that. ;)

Okay, here it's : (
http://koti.mbnet.fi/sra0a1/) Place to download System Shock 1 Intro movies.
I also uploaded orginal QuickTime SShock intro movie there.
To play AVI file you require XviD video codec and MP3 audio codec.

I saw the link above that included some audio logs and the like, (I'm at work though so I can't look too much). I was wondering if I would have to extract the sounds or if I will have to snag them from ingame. Just any sound info anyone has. Otherwise I'll just plod through it myself and figure things out. I just don't want to repeat unecesary work. =]

By the way, WhiteRabbit, could you rebuild computer screen textures?
Sure. I'll next be able to work on textures Sunday. Just point me towards them.
On the security camera bit, would it be possible to display somthing like "Security Camera 3-5 Destroyed" if you destroyed camera #5 on level 3?

I doubt it, but maybe.

So, I guess it's a matter of whether you want to stay as close to the game as possible, or take the easier route and stick with only setting up one situation where the e-mails would play. I imagine it would be a bitch to do things the way SS1 had them, though. :erm:
I don't know hardly anything about ShockEd, but I imagine you'd have to set up the e-mails so that if you, say, got one in the
Deck R-2-3 elevator, a trap will prevent the same e-mail from playing when you reach Deck 5, and instead, the second e-mail from the resistance group would play. Then you'd need to set up a trap to prevent that second e-mail from playing when you reach the area with Gray on the walls.Like I said, I know nothing about ShockEd, but I'm just throwing out an idea. :erm: Could it, or something like it, be done?

Just being curious here, grimlan. What did you use to do the conversion? How much work did you have to do on it?
