Let's play System Shock (blind)! (Update #4 uploaded!)

[Trash]

Yeah, I know. Tossed the portable version aside and paid a visit to abandonia. With dosbox, dgvesa, the mouselook mod and a whole lot of fiddling with settings the game now runs like a dream.

All thanks to this LP making me look it up once more.


Looking forward to more btw. Playing it through and recognising the places the LP visits is more fun than I had imagined.

The portable version doesn't really work for me either. I do have some problems getting it to run in Dosbox as well however. Audio/Video no problem, but mouse behavior is a pain. In Windowed mode I get an extremely slow mouse and in full screen mode it's all over the place.

What settings did you use for the mouse to work properly?

 

[Trash]

In dosbox I changed sensitivity to 150. I downloaded dgvoodoo and the mouselook mod. The mouselook mod has its own config file named xcyb.cfg which you can edit with notepad. I changed these settings:

set hmousemul 1
set vmousemul 1

set mlook_hsens 100
set mlook_vsens 50

Games runs like a dream with them.

I REFUSE TO TRANSCRIBE THIS. YOU HAVE TO HEAR THE TERRIBAD AUDIO.

I AM SORRY, BUT NOTHING ON MY COMPUTER CAN OPEN THOSE FILES. NOT EVEN VLC.

 

[spekkio]

Yeah. An ancient type of Real Media Audio FTW...

its been some 10 years since i last played the game, so i dont remember much of the audio logs, which is why hearing them again would be nice.

also, in the reactor room i threw a grenade and ran as fast as i could, that way you have enough time to get past the cyborgs spawning and can sit in a corner and snipe them.

THAT'S A SHAME, BECAUSE THEY WORK ON VLC FOR ME. AND I'M NOT GONNA RECORD AND UPLOAD THAT SHIT, SO DEAL WITH IT.

WILL YOU RECORD AND UPLOAD THEM IF MY LITHUANIAN FRIEND MAKES A VISIT TO YOUR HOME?

 

[Peter]

BRO I AM PRACTICALLY LITHUANIAN MYSELF, SO THAT DOES NOT FRIGHTEN ME.

Strange, I started CD version myself and can't find Sparq Beam in the starting Medical Bay. Also can't find flechette on the reactor level. Maybe my memory is cloudy.

 

[GeneralSamov]

As I understand it, the sparq is more of a random loot, as for the flechette, I found one

Spoiler

on a dead corpse in a room in the NW part of the map, which you enter through a "shielded door" (one of those with the radiation symbol on it) where there are 2 cyber assassins and a grating, on the other side of which there's the corridor you reach after going through the room, where the lights go off and a party of cyborgs ambush you from several rooms hidden behind the walls, and going down a repulsor thingie with the "safety override access" designation

, and another one

Spoiler

in the 50% gravity room with 5 or 6 zero-g mutants

Oh, got it.

I remebered this place, but can't remember how to climb to upper tunnel. I bringed crate and with a lucky jump made it.
