The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

The Pages of Now and Forever (http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/) posted news of an amazing commercial that Danny Santos (http://www.dannysantos.net/l) made for the re-release.  You can download them in two formats:

DivX (http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/classicgaming/starcontrol/urquanmasters/sc2-com-avi.zip)

Quicktime (http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/classicgaming/starcontrol/urquanmasters/sc2-com-mov.zip)

That trailer is Outstanding! :)

It gave me goose bumps!

Is that going to be the intro for the game?

Nope, it's just some other nice fan-made stuff.. we are going to use original 3DO / PC version intro.

That fan trailer was pretty cool, I agree.  But hey, is the port really gonna need a lot of advertising ?  All my friends have already heard about it.  

Repeatedly ;-)

Oh.  my.  god.

I can't count the number of times I've considered attempting a starcon2 port myself - to think that a group of people are seriously going to do it almost makes up for the fact that my home state just sold its soul to the devil.  I mean the republicans.

You'd better believe I'll be monitoring sourceforge .. maybe I can even toss my coder's hat in the ring to boot.

Any serious help is greatly appreciated.  Stop by the IRC channel at #sc2 on irc.freenode.net if you wish to help.

Very nice hype movie :)

I am glad you are using the 3DO intro etc, all of them rock :) I like the final movie - you really get a sense of scale with the ships :)

That was awesome!!  I'd love to see more stuff like that.   :)

So cool.

I'm impressed. Resurrecting a thread this old is a mean feat. I mean, it was probably rotting and covered with 3 feet of dirt at this point.

well now that the dead have risen once again. does anyone have that fan made intro. i havent seen it and would like to view it. please :)

seems the links are... um...dead. :P

Haha, I got all excited when I read this, and yes, the links are dead. I'm with you, defiant.

I *had* it, yes... But since that was 2002, I deleted it ever since..

It was a really superb nicely done trailer, though. I remember that I repeatadly watched it and it was still ubergreat... Like any trailer/intro should actually be.. One where you don't hit the space/escape key when the game starts, because that intro is just damn badass....

A quick google gives me the QuickTime version here (http://www.centralwow.com/files_details.asp?FileID=46).

Are we talking about this clip? http://www.medievalfuture.com/div/sc2-com.avi

Hey, I hadn't seen that before! Thanks for the rez.

But it's... well, not very contentful as trailers go. And a little Mars, anyone?

That's the way I like trailers.  Unfortunately, it's not a good trailer for the newbies;  creates an expectation of a 3D game...  It's more of a nostalgic teaser.  Great Mark I model though.

That trailer kicks ass!

my computer wont dignify those files with a response, all it does is basically make my computer spaz out, see i told ya updating my computer wasnt good, avi and mov files worked perfectly before i did...


first i try to play in WMP and i get the usual stupid response 'this program has generated an error'
same thing with divx player except 'explorer' closed on me before that particular error took place...

meh, at least i got to hear most of it

You've probably got one or more faulty codecs. You need to uninstall them. Rough instructions to help you out:

I guess you've probably got FFdshow installed somewhere in your system. If you haven't install it! (it's part of the Matroska codec pack, for example). Also install the G-Spot codec information app. Then run G-Spot on the .avi-file and do a render to see what it uses to render the file. Find this rendering codec in FFdshow and disable it or replace it. Repeat until it works.

ugh...

i've spent enough time fixing computer problems today, i'll wait till tomorrow. >:(
