Intro Video

[General BlackDragon]

new video? 

[TheJamsh]

For best results install BZ2 from THE DISC. DO NOT patch to 1.2, but patch STRAIGHT to PB5.1

And for the record no new video was ever created, you're just looking at in in DX9, so its smoother and probably plays through faster, being a .bik BINK video file.

Wish there were better converters in 1998/9. Looks bloody horrible with all those pixels. Not that I don't like pixels. Don't get me wrong, I love pixels. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not to mention nostalgic.

The intro video had to be downsampled to a 256x256 size, because the 3dfx Voodoo 1 had a max texture size of 256x256. Yes, I've asked if the original is anywhere. Nobody knows where it is.

Oh dear.

I would really really like to see the original of each video.

[TheJamsh]

Yeh, my Serenesis shell uses that video as a basis for the momen until a new one is made with its own assets, and when stretched to 320x640 it does get a little... fuzzy

[AHadley]

*AMMO*, man! That's one pretty little shell!

[TheJamsh]

you should see the rest of it

[AHadley]

In which case, I volunteer what services I can

[Warfreak]

Heh, copying how GOW does it's shell i see.

[TheJamsh]

Similar yeh. It started slightly different, but i grew a bit bored of the same plain bevelled buttons... Plus it suits the shell style i wanted perfectly so im happy.

[Raven]

That increased poly count is freaking sweet! THANKYOU!

[TheJamsh]

I sense some wings-based framerate destruction
