« on: 06. January 2015, 13:28:41 »Yea look. I'm pretty sure this project is dead, but I don't want the engine to die. System shock 1 had a lot of features even the version of doom Strife was built on didn't have, so levels are still pretty retro looking, but you can have floor over floor without having to resort to tricks like 5d space from marathon.
Anyone know where the original dev went?

« on: 15. May 2013, 20:39:30 »Yeah I wouldn't go into that territory. That sounds technically difficult/impossible. I would shoot for a hack job of exiting shock2.exe and running shock.exe right into a new game and have it all linked up to 1 event in ss2 like clicking a button. Maybe NV knows how to do it

« on: 15. May 2013, 20:35:06 »I know secmod is able to generate custom inventory menus so a 640*480 window should be doable, but getting the ss1 3d graphics into it would require grandmaster lever hackery.
Posted by: RocketMan
« on: 15. May 2013, 20:31:39 »There's gotta be a way for some code flag to send something outside the application to launch ss1 somehow and to rig up ss1 so that there's no option but to start the game with a set level. This has got to be possible!

« on: 15. May 2013, 20:14:00 »When this is done I intend to make an SS1 FM.
Somewhat unrelated question... Is it possible to have an event in SS2, like a quest, to somehow (anyhow at all) launch an external program (maybe go right into a level of SS1?) ? I don't care how ridiculous it is or stupid it looks as long as it happens automagically and fast enough as no to kill immersion.

« on: 15. May 2013, 09:17:27 »I did a brief update at the blog (http://revert3d.blogspot.com) However, Major changes are:
- Integrated GUI Editor (which is quite crappy but does the job for a first try)
- New GUI system with separate GUI "themes" (which is quite crappy and doesnt do the job at all and is the first thing I will kick out in anger as soon as I get back into the code)
- New scripting system. Its a total redesign for the sake of structure/useability/ease of use
- New GFX effects like blending/transparency. Take a look at the object Editor which shows a bunch of new object properties for stuff like that
- AI subroutines for the robot buddies: Well "AI" for the moment is "waiting" or "hanging around" for now. But its the first step into "letting objects do something on their own". Check out the "Crewbot" object, which has the new magic properties "AIPROFILE" and type "ACTOR". Theres also a "retreat mode" which will fire when the Buddy stands in the way, causing him to move his robot ass into another place
Please keep in mind: this version is heaviliy in-dev and was not intended as a demo. So be prepared... :p

Did he mention anything about the current state of the project (or the source)? Or anything about the changes in this version since the v0.8.1 version?
Btw the launcher still says v0.8.1 but I guess they didn't feel the need to update it since its not an "official" update.

Since it's not the original archive I can't say for sure if some changes were made on the files but everything seems legit so far.
Still I wish there would be an up to date demo (I mean even v0.8.1 is from late 2011) or even better, the source code of the engine...well lets hope we'll see something someday...

« on: 21. April 2013, 02:36:40 »Well before we get ahead of ourselves we need a clear roadmap.
Changing the 'stock' assets out to something less liable to get sued might be nice (then again system shock portable is kicking around just fine so hell if I know if anyone really CARES at this point.)
I'd say have multi-player be integrated in but I dunno. On the one hand i want 'the original game could run off this if you dropped the assets in' as a high priority. On the other I see this and i think less system shock and more 'this is better than the thousand and one doom source engines that are hard for noobs like me to edit and create for without tools that hardly work on my computer since I don't use windows.

Ooooh the possibilities! Hopper ambush!!

« on: 15. April 2013, 02:20:52 »Hi guys, I just wanted to ask around here if anyone still has the demo files of the engine that were released?
Since the links on the official site went down and the author didn't respond to an email I wrote him (one month ago) I would be very glad to see these files still alive (for the sake of the engine).
So whoever has relevant files for the engine (preferably the latest upload, "Demo_0_8_1b.zip"), please upload them here
Also I guess this is kind of soon to ask but are there any news yet on a possible source release of the engine? I'm a hobby programmer myself and I'd love to take a look at the code (not to mention that I would love it even more to play System Shock on it). I also wouldn't care if the code is not clean or commented enough, as long as there is anything at all
I'll ask him if he still has those binaries.

« on: 29. March 2013, 17:14:44 »Indeed. Sure it'll be ugly and need more work but better it be somewhere people can get to. After all we're in this mess right now because the original code to SS1 is Gone and we only got NewDark (probably) because someone monkied with the partial scource release (unles they were an employee that just happened to have said source IDK.)
Look at the work done with doom since it got opened. Now we have something where at least the level architecture can be read and scripts used for event handling. I don't want to see that lost.

Then again we don't have enemy AI or any of the dozens and dozens of features like cyberspace/teleporting, gravety adjustments, enemy ai and behavior, level linking, or any of that... I think.
Not to mention lack of Logs and such.
