Title: 3DO Intro revisited Post by: SC2ForLife on March 09, 2007, 05:15:10 am This is a much asked topic so I thought I would share how I did it :)
Step 1 is to download the two files below http://www.angelfire.com/planet/zfighterjoebob/uncdrom.zip (copy and paste) http://www.magiciso.com/Setup_MagicISO.exe Step 2 is to install MagicISO and make the .iso image of SC2, name it anything you want. Step 3 is to unzip UnCDRom and place it somewhere you can find easily (Desktop works) Step 4, drag the .iso image into the UNCD-ROM.exe file and it will begin the extraction. It extracted them into My Documents for me but I have not tried on another PC so just search for a .duk file and you should find it. Step 5 is to create the appropriate folders in the UQM folder based on this guide; http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters_Technical_FAQ#How_do_I_use_the_3DO_intro_and_victory_movies_in_the_game.3F and move the appropriate files. This is exactly what I did and it worked fine.

As the bug database is still down, I'm reporting my comments here:
You no longer need to convert AIFF audio to WAV (thanks to Alex's AIFF decoder), as soon as you fix a minor detail that has been overlooked; UQM currently loads the ship description speech from a WAV instead of an AIFF. This is easily fixed: Code: --- /home/jan/uqm-svn/sc2/sc2/src/sc2code/libs/video/video.c (revision 2712) +++ /home/jan/uqm-svn/sc2/sc2/src/sc2code/libs/video/video.c (working copy) @@ -143,13 +143,13 @@ vid->h = vid->decoder->h; vid->guard = CreateMutex ("video guard", SYNC_CLASS_VIDEO); - /* Override main sound with .wav if available. */ + /* Override main sound with .aif if available. */ filename = HMalloc (strlen (pStr) + 5); strcpy (filename, pStr); pext = strrchr (filename, '.'); if (pext) *pext = 0; - strcat (filename, ".wav"); + strcat (filename, ".aif"); altsound = LoadMusicFile (filename); if (altsound != 0) { DestroyMusic (vid->hAudio); Installation is simple if you have the 3DO CD extracted already: just copy ship*.* and spin.aif from duckart on the CD to content/slides/spins/ in the UQM directory hierarchy. Edit: Uh... Usage instructions? Oh yeah, right, right... Select a ship in Melee fleet setup or the shipyard and press the Menu special button (defaults to [Alt]). Uh... I, uh, I guess that's it. |
