Does anyone know where all the stock sound effects in Shadow Warrior '97 came from? I'm looking into a few particular sounds, things like that infamous jaguar sound (Evil Ninja in SW, Hell Knight in Doom, Bastet in Powerslave) and the name of the compilation CDs they're from.

Since the Robman thread got deleted, I am re-posting my github link that has the current unofficial progress on getting shadow warrior running on the latest eduke32 codebase.

EDIT:
Nevermind it got moved.

Could you change the tagline to "Unofficial work on building Shadow Warrior with EDuke32's engine."?

Hey Termit, are the games going to be on sale on GOG?

Also, I've tried the Shadow Warrior iOS app on my iPhone 7, and it's not fully compatible. It doesn't use up the full screen.
There's still the issue of the flag not working in level 2, the vehicles being able to strafe, and no way to disable the automatic tilt on slopes that I reported a while ago. The "buy" button in the Lo Wang store also doesn't seem to be working properly, wink wink

Has there also been an update on the invisible vicinity mines in the Twin Dragon expansion that essentially made it unplayable in Classic Redux?

A workaround for this apparently is to turn voxel rendering off

Not sure about GOG games, I'll ask Nigel.

Sadly we had to remove SW from iOS App Store... But it may return in form of SWCR, I'll give you guys redeem codes when (if) we release it.

Yeah, invisible mines have been on our todo list for a while. I'll look at this issue one more time when we'll have another round of bug fixe patches for our older releases. Thanks for the reminder.

[MetHy]

I thought the invisible mines got fixed long ago? Wasn't it something about the voxels offset being wrong, thus the mines being in the ground?

I'm pretty sure that's why they appear invisible, some other voxel objects also have the wrong height position. It hasn't been fixed, though.

Thanks!

They're definitely not on sale at the moment, and I'd really like to get SWCR on GOG. I'd happily buy it on sale, but it's not worth full price considering the number of times I've bought it recently through steam and other packages.

That library is clearly still in use as LBC keep playing this shitty commercial with a SW sound effect in it;  SW Sound in commercial.zip (2.58MB)
Number of downloads: 21

God I fucking hate commercials, they make me want to hit people.

Hendricks266, on 22 May 2017 - 10:45 PM, said:

The project has gone through several phases of waiting, because it is first and foremost a recovery and restoration project, and "let's build a cool mod" project only in small doses as a last resort.

The initial data we received was painfully incomplete. A full set of unpolished maps, their names, art for the maps, spritesheets for two enemies and the player, a logo, and a main character portrait. No plot. No voice acting. No cinematics. No design documents. No credits. The individual who provided us this believed that the expansion was actually completed, and we began work under this assumption. Here, work does not mean mod-building. It means research.

For a long time our goal was to track down as many team members as possible to try to recover any or all of the missing things above. This played out gradually, as our team basically embarked on a private investigation. Unfortunately, few people remembered much, and only one had any data (which didn't fill in any of the gaps). One team member approached us after being directed by helpful community members on SWC. We also learned that another had passed away in the early 00's.

Naturally, any big spike in SW activity also brings a spike in resurgence in interest in DK. We saw this with the release of Redux, and we're seeing it again now.

Over time we began to consider that our original source misremembered, and we actually had all the data there ever was. Then began my adventures into trying to find an original design document, which unfortunately must remain confidential, but I came up empty after another long span.

At this point, within the past year, we began considering our options. On one hand, cutting is shipping. On the other, a massive effort.

I dunno if you need it, but I'd possibly be down for helping out with it again inbetween my other work if things ever get moving again. I remember doing a few things for it a couple years back.

What's the best source port for Shadow Warrior that's fully compatible with Windows 10 and resembles the game as close to the original as possible but supports proper Widescreen? I found a few that has crackling sound playback issues.

[Robman]

Redux, SWP 4.3.3 or 4.3.2, JonoFsw, Dosbox
Those are the ways to play SW. I use SWP, Redux lacks enemy shadows and multiplayer.

[Romulus]

I do not wish to come across as fussy, but is there any way you guys can prevent the weapons sprite from stretching in WideScreen mode? The stretched weapon takes up too much space IMO.

That's a legitimate feature request. VoidSW will have this.

[Lord_Kane]

If I may interrupt for a moment, is there a way you can run Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon that came with classic complete on GOG and Steam on SWP? I am using 4.3.3 Beta 3 and is that a good version of SWP to use? I dont like Redux, I have issues running on Dosbox and I am waiting for a better Source port to come out....

Go to Shadow Warrior Central and download TD and WD for SWP.
Put in the games folder of SWP and select either one in the launch menu.

I'll be waiting patiently for this. I can't stand the stretched weapons, and can't stand the black bars from 4:3 either. This will be a life saver. Thank you!

Can't you fix SW Redux's enemy shadows?

The redux UI is already implemented in my branch. There are no streched UI assets in my branch.

Wasn't talking about Stretched UI, but stretched weapons sprite.

I find it funny there are four active separate threads all about various Shadow Warrior stuff.
If they were all corners, they would form a room.

It's all part of the same system internally. The weapon sprites should not be stretched in my branch.
