The FreeSpace Upgrade Project / Re: [Release] FS1 & FS2 Voice Restoration Mods

« Last post by Grizzly on August 30, 2025, 07:54:58 am »

I have been testing this a bit but I find there's quite a lot of samples where voices become muffled or unclear. I have two particular examples I wanna highlight:

3_Death: The "HELP ME!" scream becomes muffled halfway through, but you can still hear some distortion happening at the end of the clip.

SM207_MB_01: Vasudan voicelines in general get a raw deal. With the original files, you can hear both the vasudan and translated lines clearly and at the same volume. With this mod's files, vasudan characters become significantly harder to understand - mostly the vasudan, but often enough the translated lines become muffled or tuned out.

Cross-Platform Development / Android Build

« Last post by ShivanSpS on August 28, 2025, 03:36:00 pm »

In last few days ive been working on getting a android build working on my phone.

Ive been documenting the effort here:
https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/pull/6992

The whole thing involves adding a compatibility layer to run on OpenGL ES 3.2 and using external shaders, because the ones included cant work with GLES.

Today for the first time, i was able to get a build working on my phone.


This was on a Phone with a Mali G57 MC1 GPU (Valhall V1).
It needs a few extensions and GLES 3.2. cant work on anything lower.

There are still shader errors and ships render as black. That i dont know how to fix.

The audio of all things i was unable to get it working. OpenAL Soft gets init and FSO sees a "OpenSL" device but no audio.

Here is a link to a first partially working version of the FS2 demo in apk format.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vGkyc1id04UgSxrrUaMoftN9G1xypntU/view

UPDATE: audio fixed by compiling OpenAL with the oboe backend, and the ship textures are fixed by disabling deferred lighting in settings, apk link updated

FreeSpace Discussion / Re: How do you feel about the Myrmidon?

« Last post by ShivanSlayer on August 27, 2025, 01:16:02 pm »

Its missile capacity could be better in its first 2 banks, but having 6 guns balances it out to be an effective multi role fighter.  With the Kayser, I can one shot weaker fighters and quickly wear bombers down before they can fire on Allied vessels.  With 3 banks of tempests, it becomes an effective convoy and cruiser killer, something I have done often to the NTF and Shivans alike. Also, being able to carry the Helios makes it into a fast bomber.  It is easy to rush in danger close, launch, then pull away at the last second before impact. I crippled many Ravanas that way
