Topic: Need OP game help.

You need a program such as WinZip to view (and delete some of) the contents of the zip file.

I'm sure there are other programs out there that will do the job, but I have used WinZip ever since it came out.

Make sure you take the Read Only atribute off the file first.

Age..IIRC...Pesty's OP pack came with the SFC INI tweaking Application....

You can set lighting ,volly info ,AI difficulty.....and......er.....DUH.....*drool*......I forgot what else...

I'll edit this when I'm am on my primary PC...

Nevermind...I walked my lazy butt upstairs and looked...

It also lets you hide your race and BPV choices on GSA set up screen.... it also lets you set your game screen resolution...

Anyways....

Make sure your filming is set to on(filmroom)

Run a big AI skirmish with lots of your favorite ships....

After its over...go back to the film room...

You will see your last recorded movie(s)...

Choose one and hit play movie....(note you must at least start one skirmish mission before trying to view a movie so the game will load ship models)

when it loads nit F9 to mide all the shield graphics and ship tags....then hit "D" to shift the control panel out of the way....

Use " [ " to slow the movie or " ] " to speed it up...

Use the F2 view to change the camera angles and "T" to switch the ships you want to view...

With the ambient lighting set down a bit,,,and the above "D" and "F9" keys hit ( I also like to slow the movie a bit)......

If you like to watch the game films....this is almost cinimatic quality...especially with well lit models with higher polycounts and excellent textures...

Every weapons flash lights up the models....phasers flash against shields...drone exaust trails give off a different color glow for each speed and totally look cool when a droner fires a volly...

There quite a few graphics mods for weapons out there to tweak the "appearance" of things like the photons and disruptors....

when  you get viewing films down to being confortable....DL some of the "real" battle films from the DV or GSA games between aces place them in your SFC directory file (the main one)...

Then you can see tactics played out...in a most beautiful way...

I did what you said Crim and it is cool and iyt does look very similiar to TOS.Whae the lighting id turned down and you push F9 the Fed. ships look even grayer as they are supposed to be.Really cool.

There are a couple of things to do about it. My easy fix is to make a backup copy of the sfcsounds.zip file (in Assets/Sound), take off the read only attribute on the original then go into the zip file and remove the esgloo* files. 

Doe this mean you delete them or in the note pad in Assets/Sounds setting it to 0?
