I give up. My old computer is just not good enough for UE. I'll just have to wait until I get a better computer - if ever. After finally downloading the speech and movies, I found UE kept throwing me back to Windows a second after inflight speech. I must say that what little I heard sounded very good, though.
Anyway, it was with some difficulty I managed to uninstall UE - the 'uninstaller' from "Add/Remove Programs" just uninstalled SO, so I had to do a manual delete and search through the registry. BTW, whoever programmed fiction viewer needs to learn how to spell "losing". :/
So after all that, I have a few questions:
In which mission is the first movie played?
I also decided to have a go at the original UE beta/demo ('twas only one mission, right?) and it's interesting to see how much progress was made since then. But I must say I thought the ICIS briefing voice-over sounded better in the original UE. What's the justification for the more gruff voice in the released UE? It shouldn't really be the poorer equipment of the Border Worlders since the ICIS was brand new on the Midway. Yeah, I know there's not much that can done about the briefing system - it's not like you can go back to the WC1/2/3 style briefings made by the Wing Commander... can you?
Also, what sort of filters were applied to make the speech for the ICIS briefing and the Kilrathi? If it's not a secret, that is. I'm just curious.
Finally, has/is Needaham released/releasing the UE music MIDIs? Because I'm thinking I might have a go at making some piano scores from them since that was brought up in another thread.
First exam tomorrow, so I'll be out of action for a while. I shouldn't even be online now. :/
