Fellas, it's finally happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgNndtga3zY HRTF in HL1 using MetaAudio (probably not VAC friendly, use -insecure in the command line just to be safe) This is the closest we'll get to A3D. Not sure if it's the same one in the video, but the github link is a fork that uses Alure instead of OpenAL. Supports HRTF, occlusion, distance attenuation, and EFX all with a lower audio latency HolyKrap fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Nov 21, 2018 |

That, uh, doesn't sound good. Some stuff is completely flat and other things have inexplicable reverb that goes on forever.

I'm sure reverb time will be fixed if not already, latest release was yesterday and that video's from September. I'll have to play around with it when I get the chance, but any progress in sound enhancement mods is great seeing as even EAX is broken in the steam version of HL

Ularg posted:Are... are there map files online? I want to play them. Cream-of-Plenty posted:Oh yeah, I fondly remember the Starcraft levels where you were given a small squad of marines and had to slowly work your way through a map. Seriously, they're the worst. When I replayed the campaigns when SC:Remastered released, I just cheated to skip the indoor maps. Side note, while insurrection is reportedly bad, you can download the SC1 demo campaign which contains content that didn't ship with the original game. Just a few maps but kind of a neat bonus. I'm surprised they didn't include it in the full release.

Scrimping for my first PC and cheaping out on games over $20 meant that my PC Gamer disc was like getting a present each month. Sure, half the games wouldn’t run on my crappy machine, but that just meant I could bring the disc to my friend’s house and play them there. I played the hell outta the demos for Rocket Jockey, Thief Gold, Hitman, and Interstate ‘76. Got to learn every square inch of ‘em, just glad to have a thing to play.

Here's some of the demo discs I can get to right now,  And this was the starcraft demo I played so drat much.  I have one of those disc spindles somewhere that has more pc demo discs as well as like several years of Playstation 2 and Xbox magazine demo discs.

The best "demo disc" was, if I remember right, a Computer Gaming World disc that had full, older games. Few were related to the thread, but it had Duke Nukem 2, Alone in the Dark, Ultima Underworld, X-Com UFO Defense... I wish I could remember where I left it, it was awesome. I think it was CGW, that was the magazine my dad got, but every once in a while he'd grab a PC Gamer so it might have been from them.

I remember that one too, it was PC Gamer from the summer of 2000 or 2001. That disc introduced me to a ton of classics. They also had Duke3d a few years later.

The PC Gamer July 2000 disc had free copies of Alone in the Dark, Descent, Duke Nukem II, King’s Quest, Links: The Challenge of Golf, Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed, The Secret of Monkey Island, Terminal Velocity, Ultima I, Ultima Underworld, and X-COM: UFO Defense. Plus...the Daikatana demo!

Yeah, that's the one. I've ended up with most of the games on there that I was interested in, but I still wish I could find mine if for no other reason than to have Duke 2 Duke lying around. I kinda miss the magazines. I know they're still being published, but the internet has really hurt that exciting quality of them.

It really would be quite the thing if those disc iso's were officially or unofficially hosted somewhere. I mean, at least in terms of PC Gamer, they're demos, right? What's the harm?

They have a bunch of old shareware compilation discs too. https://archive.org/details/cdbbsarchive For the true experience, install Windows 3.11 inside DOSBox and browse the discs from there.

HolyKrap posted:Fellas, it's finally happening. Question: What's the deal with those barrels at the start? I've seen them work (fly way up in the air) only back after release and then every time they either do what they do in the video or just jump a few feet then and come back? It does it today on the same disc install that didn't do it 20 years ago, is there something in the physics engine that doesn't like new hardware or high framerates? Same thing that messes with grenade physics?

That second screenshot is - IMO - typical of the people that fetishise CRT filters - they weren't around at the time and so don't realise that computer games, in particular, didn't look like that.

It took up the whole CD and wasn't downloadable anywhere, but it was pretty much a standalone game set on a large island that wasn't on the full game's map. I think I had more fun with that than the full game, it was a smaller, denser world.
