Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
Is anyone game enough to remake the FS2 Intro? I imagine that would be a pretty big task to make it look like more than gameplay.
I think I may need to get into some campaigns again ;-)

Well, I made a playable FS2 Intro not to long ago,  :) so you could start there:

I never noticed the "1.21 gigawatts" in that scene before.  Come to think of it, I probably first saw that cutscene before ever seeing Back to the Future.  Never noticed it because it was old hat by the time I would have understood it. 


Unless you're SO good you managed to copy the original voice actor and cut in that bit seamlessly yourself, since I haven't gone back to watch the original to check.  ;)

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
Nope, I used the original audio.

FYI for those keeping an eye on this project. Oddgrim disappeared again and took the zod flight suit and shivan models with him. I don't know how long he'll be gone this time, so I'm starting to model the flight suit. Then I'll be ready to render the Briefing cutscene.

This is why it's prudent to use Google Drive or similar for storage, and give teammates share access to the working folder or files.

Which Shivan models actually?

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
I have started to upload the Remastered videos with the audiotracks of the other languages. Maybe they can be used as an optional new FSPort translated Cutscene package someday.

So you can watch the remastered intro in German (only interesting because of Lieutenant Ass(hole) ;)), French and Polish (most interesting IMO, because they muted the music during the voice-over and i also had some difficulties to synchronize it, because the audio is timed differently) aswell :).

Because the download links for the Intro and Lab movie are still missing i was forced to use the YT-1080p version as source, so they have a little lower quality. But i think that i got the best out of it in the reencoding process.

Is one of my releases broken or not working? Please send a PM here, on Discord at @novachen or on Twitter @NovachenFS2, a public tweet or write a reply in my own release threads here on HLP, because these are the only threads i am still participating in.

Dear God, don't even remind me of Freespace 1 translated to Polish. Just don't.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
I love your work on the cutscene upgrades. I installed them manually for the wxLauncher and they all work.  I have not seen anywhere to have Knossos download  them and install them through it's interface.  Is this possible? I would think most people would prefer to watch these. If not then where do I install them for Knossos to have them used for FS1 (or FS1 Upgraded).

Thanks for any help.

Yeah, Goober and I are working on getting them in Knossos. It should download the Ancients and Endgame cutscenes.

If you download them from here put them in your FSPort/data/movies folder.

Finally figured out that Knossos uses MVE files instead of OGG or MP4. Got rid of the intro.mve and it started using the mp4 one.

Knossos probably installed whatever was included with your default retail install. Knossos doesn't care what file format videos are in.

If I downloaded, say, the "Lab" scene from the OP; would I put it in the /movies subfolder of "fsport" or "fsport-mediavps_2014"?  I ask because the latter is where the 'ancients' and 'endgame' cutscenes are at currently.
