Bumping this because after playing around with UViewer for Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, I always thought it would be cool to have a map viewer for Shock 1. On the strangebedfellows forums, I was told the System Shock Hack Project tool lets you do this but to be honest I can't figure out how, the program wants me to load either a .res or .dat file and I have no idea where the levels are stored and there seems to be no documentation whatsoever for it.
Can someone enlighten me? I'd be very thankful.

You need a file named CYB.CFG in the ShockHack folder - it should have something like these two lines in it:
Code:
cddata C:/Games/System Shock/Res/data
hddata C:/Games/System Shock/Res/data
Then, you run the program itself thusly:
Code:
shack.exe -w640 -h480 -s2
This will run ShockHack at a resolution of 640x480, on level #2 (Research).

Thanks, looks like I've been trying to use the wrong version of the tool all along, the one I tried to use was called HackEd.exe and came in a like 260 kb archive file, as the "real" tool was under 100kb in size I assumed bigger = more recent and better. Thanks again. :angel:
