Procrustes: The only thing you can play/extract/listen to outside of the game are the background music files (in the DATA/MUSIC directory). If someone developed some type of program to extract the sound effects/voice clips from the game, I definitely would have wanted to use them, but I am positive there has been no way to obtain sound clips from the game as of right now.

If you load up my map right now in Scapex, you'll see that there's no way to extract those sound clips I used and play them outside of Scapex. I would have definitely been able to use ANY of the god's voices if it were possible to extract sound clips from Scapex (because all of the god's clips are stored on the Scapex maps), but since there is currently no way to do this, I did not have the ability to do so.

Besides...the god voices, creature voices, and sound effects are all the property of Shiny and I'd probably feel the same way as they do about extracting sound clips from the game and using them in your own maps. It's not like they went around downloading clips off the Internet like I did; they paid voice actors to sit there and do all of those voices.

By the way, nice try on the reverse psychology. Trying to **** me off to get a role in future cutscene I see. http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif Haha....you don't think I picked that up after you first post?

Oh and I don't think I thanked anyone yet for their positive feedback.

Well I guess now is a good time to say THANKS and I am glad you all liked it (even though I knew you would).

I am taking a temporary break from Scapex for now, but not for too long. (Hopefully someone else out there will be able to "steal" http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif from my map and make a good one by themselves.)

Oh and thanks for the offers of your voices too. I may hold some of you up to that later on...

By the way, I wanted to thank you guys for having a fight right here on this FEEDBACK thread, http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif because it helps to show people who weren't here earlier what I was talking about at the end of the cutscene.

Procrustes January 27th, 2001 04:34 PM

lol no I was actually using reverse psycology to have you NOT put me in and it looks like it worked! (or is this reverse psych) (or that?) (etc..)

I thought I was the one who was telling everyone to chill that it was too early to be making these judgements? If I remember correctly Jesta's position was not to nerf Percy but to Boost Stratos?

Not that it matters but if you check the threads you'll see http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

I looked back at the threads and see why Jesta gets all the credit cuz he jumped on the bandwagon and made a new thread about it, right after bitchin everyone out for starting new threads, shame on you Jesta! LOL http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

Heck I got so mad I even yelled at Poopsie in the DK-tourney thread for saying we'll have to look at that in regard to the locust thing LOL Sorry Poopsie.

Hey Folks!

It has been awhile, I stopped by the forum for news about the next patch, I was disapointed by the news that it was going to be delayed, however I totally trust Shiny, and hey, have they let us down yet? I am willing to wait.

The cutscene/movie was great!!!

If half of the people on this message board could devote time into learning Scapex, instead of flaming each other we all would be spending time discussing movie quality cutscenes instead of whining at Shiny about delaying a patch.

I wish to thank Jesta for putting together a very funny cutscene, and Shiny for making it all possible by handing the user this extremly high, and easy to use, level of technology.

Count your blessings people, and you will find they are many.

Seana Fireshard February 11th, 2001 06:58 PM

I have a slight problem . . . I'd love your cinematic, except that I CAN'T WATCH IT!

It's really weird: both it and your previous one (the WASSUP parody) are in my Sacrifice/maps/scenario directory, and they both show up on the scenario screen: but with a listing of "Max Players: 0. Tileset:<blank>" I am then unable to select them.

Scapex doesn't consider the two maps to be correct Sacrifice maps. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I downloaded both off of your website, but I had to hold down shift and click on the download button--if i didn't, Netscape would start loading the file to the screen http://www.veforums.com/frown.gif

If anyone can help me, I'd be very much obliged. I'm looking forward to seeing these examples of Sacrifice Cinematography

Are you able to load ANY scenario maps that you download?

If the problem isn't only with my maps, then it's obviously a problem with your install of Sacrifice/your system.

If it were a problem with my maps, then I wish I knew what the problem was, because this problem doesn't seem to be coming up on the 40 or so people who have loaded my map.

Jesta... I watched your cutscene "The Brokenhearted Troll" again (only for the twentysixth time) and it looked pretty different http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

When the troll was killing all the purple bitches... he suddenly got stuck at that big stone and those bithy thingys where just shooting at him... He was helpless... pathetic really... http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

after a while he gave up and just stood there while the bitches got tired of shooting I guess...

BTW:I AM NOT KIDDING , THIS REALLY HAPPENED !
You should be little more carefull where you put your markers for the road that the creature needs to follow (Don't put no rocks in between ! lol

...anywayz... your cutscene RULEZ !

keep it up !

Also... check your email... It might be my side but I can NOT send you any email (When I do I get my own email back and a message saying... "email not correct"... or whatever .

I was gonna send you my cutscene a week ago !! (The LON Story)

I guess now you'll just have to wait until the end of the month... Then I'll share it with EVRYBODY !

Jesta February 15th, 2001 06:03 AM

Yes I know exactly what problem you are talking about.

It is a rare bug that occurs in the map and it's due to bad creature path finding.

I was going to spend some time trying to make sure it didn't happen, but after a while I just wanted to get the map out already and noticed that the bug doesn't occur very often, so I figured what the hell..

Also I'm not sure exactly what was causing the problem. Everything I tried to change would cause something else not to work right, so I just decided to leave things the way they were and if you watch the cutscene enough times or just have bad luck, you may very well run into the bug, which I believe occurs due to bad path finding on the character's part, not because of any mistakes I made on the map.

To be more specific, I think the reason why it looks like he is standing still and not doing anything is because of a rare bug where the Sylphs stand and shoot him at a constant rate, and since he keeps on getting shot by the Sylphs, he's unable to move due to the constant rate which they shoot him at. The whole time this is occuring, he's really trying to move up to attack one of the Sylphs. Once when I saw the bug come up, the Troll managed to get out of it after 15 seconds and eventually killed the Trolls.

Ah well. It's a hard bug to reproduce, so if you end up seeing it occur, consider yourself having "bad luck" that day. http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

There IS a way to extract the voices...
IF you have 2 pc's next to eachother...
This is the way I do it...
I connect my 2 pc's with an stereo-audio cable (male-male) and I just play them from one pc and record the sound on the other with Soundforge XP ! http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

Exellent result and rather easy. http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

Actually when I wrote that I did not know about GoldWave.

GoldWave lets you open sounds.wad and sfx_english.wad and you can take any sound effect or creature voice sound clip in the game.

Also, to take sound clips out of maps (like how all of the gods' sound clips are compressed into the map), all you have to do is export the triggers from that particular map, and then import it into your map, and just get rid of everything you don't want.

You can do this as often as you want.

By the way, I don't have a second PC nor a stereo-audio cable so your method is unfortunately unavailable to me. http://www.veforums.com/frown.gif

Idolater March 4th, 2001 07:19 AM

Kafka: lower the texture resolution [medium], restart the game...and then start the cutscene...

Jesta March 4th, 2001 07:29 AM

Nope, Idolater, he's not talking about a video card lockup like on technodrill's map.

He's talking about a rare bug that I am aware of which occurs where the Troll gets stuck by a rock while on his way to attack the Sylph's last pack of bodyguards before confronting her.

The game just sort of sits there since the Troll is unable to complete the next trigger (to kill all the Sylphs).

Well, actually, the trigger didn't go wrong, it turns out to be a rare bad pathfinding bug that sometimes occurs.

Oh well. Doesn't come up very often so consider it bad luck if it happens. You can try dropping the resolution a little, but it shouldn't make a difference.
