Title: PC Text vs 3D0 Voice Post by: Asrial on May 26, 2004, 02:40:50 pm Hiyas! Just discovered this website and forum.
Star Control 2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I still think about it every now and then. My question is what is the status of being able to select PC text over 3D0 voice? I obsessed over the PC version so I'd really like to play it and not feel like I'm missing certain chat segments.

Well, I don't think thoughs were ever made into 3DO. Exactly. ..and the minor 'script' changes throughout the game. I read in a few places that the creators were intending to bring over the PC text eventually and have it be that you could select which format you played the game in.

It won't get you the old text, but here's how you do that just in case you don't know: right click the shortcut you use to open UQM and change it so there's a "-T 0" at the end after the path. That's a zero, not a "Oh".
Example: "C:\Program Files\The Ur-Quan Masters\uqm.exe" -T 0 Title: Re: PC Text vs 3D0 Voice Post by: Kaiser on June 02, 2004, 11:21:07 pm Actually the voice acting is among the best out there, especially for the time period. Its also better than reading through those God awful text fonts.
