System Shock 2 Community Patch (SCP) — Beta 2

"It's Once Again Probably Still Halloween Somewhere" Release

About
SCP is intended to serve as an unofficial patch for System Shock 2 that delivers an authentic but also highly polished gameplay experience, hopefully approximating the form SS2 would have taken if Irrational had had a few more months to work on it before release. It is not a total conversion, a source port, a reimagining, or a remake. It is not SS2 for experts, nor is it SS2 for newbies. It’s just SS2, but better.

(backup here if YouTube mutes the music on this one again)

SCP requires System Shock 2 patched to version 2.44 or higher (SS2Tool) and you need to start a new game.

Note that there was rather a lot of insane rushing to get this release out by Halloween'ish, so it's not unlikely that one or more things got screwed up. Caveat emptor.

I also hope I've got all the mod updates right. guess we'll see soon.

but yaay, go us!

[673f071bb65e6Kolya]

Congratulations to you both. I know a lot of hard work has gone into this mod and I'm looking forward to play it.

That screen shot of the interior of Happy Noodle isn't actually achievable from within the game, right? You still can't enter the shop through the front door, and there isn't a window from that prospective. Or am I missing a secret way in, like a switch for the front door or through that back door somehow?

I could use some noodles right about now.

[673f071bb686dNameless Voice]

The blue tint on the screenshot implies that it is being viewed through a window.

[673f071bb694fYankee Clipper]

D'oh! Your right, of course. I missed that great big see through thing. I think they call it a window.

To all the SCP Devs, many congratulations on the momentous release of SCP Beta 2 - WELL DONE !

Congrats! Now I need to renew the translation ...

[673f071bb6f3ctiphares]

Very very nice. I used the previous scp version, and will give that a try soon too  : )  The happy noodle store looks amazing; such details create much more immersion and believability.. i always found the earth and charactergeneration sections extremely barren and empty.. now there is actually atmosphere

I've read the changelog and i must say, all these changes seem to be really amazing   

many thanks to the Devs    : )

Thx for your efforts, keeping SS2 a truly relevant game that looks and plays ever better.

Hi,
I updated the German SCP translation to SCP beta 2. To give a shoutout/link in German, if you want to (I don't think many people knew there is a SCP translation), you can use these lines:

Great work on this one, and the continuing support for this amazing game

[673f071bb771cZylonBane]

I've added a link to a quick-and-dirty trailer for this (and several other mods) to the first post. Or just click here.

[673f071bb7808System Shocked]

Nice work !

[673f071bb7924voodoo47]

aww, cutting the hybrid chase before the muzzle flash effects could be seen.

[673f071bb7a61ZylonBane]

Deliberate, actually. In the footage I shot it was floating in space below the end of muzzle since it got spawned while the hybrid was still raising its shotgun.

[673f071bb7b70voodoo47]

mmhmmph, was under the impression that the timing was pretty ok, guess not. will revisit.

[673f071bb7c65ZylonBane]

Recording at 30FPS captures a lot of weird stuff, I discovered. Like destroyed wall junction boxes disappearing for a frame before their corpse appears.

[673f071bb7d82Kolya]

Nice video editing there. But why DailyMotion? WHY?

[673f071bb7e9cZylonBane]

Because @#$%ing YouTube immediately muted it due to my choice of music. Apparently 21-year-old anime soundtracks are serious business.
