Any time frame on the release or is it TBA?

I would like to say "wip beta in a few days", but it's not really my call. hopefully, I'll be able to announce an approximate release date later today, or tomorrow.

Man, feel like I'm reaching my limit on questions to Voodoo in this thread, but hoping it's also helping others. So I had all the mods installed and what I think is sorta working, but was looking through at this screenshot just to be sure. I had a couple questions related to it:

1) I know I didn't install dynamic sky right (will prob re-install) so was thinking that was maybe the reason I have a 'fam' folder instead of 'Fam'. When I extract over I no longer need the earth.mis.dml or cam_mod.ini files that are included in the .7z right?

2) I have a couple extra files that weren't in your screenshot. The cutscenes folder was from 'Custscene Rebirth' (I wasn't supposed to take cs2 out of that folder was I?), but I'm not sure where this NVScript.osm came from. Any ideas on that one?

Thanks again

everything is ok, and no, you don't need the extra dml and ini (they will be cleaned up as soon as I have a bit of free time, but I'm kind of busy lately).

you should be good to go as you are right now.

voodoo47, do you want some mirrors for Google Docs for the files? I'd be very happy to oblige, seeing that Google Docs doesn't let me download due to bandwidth limit

yeah, mirror them if you can, just make sure you have full access to that storage place so you can take them down and upload new versions when they become available.

post the links and I will add them to the first post.

How do I make the videos letterboxed so they look less awful?

see crop_movies in cam_ext.cfg.

Yeah, I don't understand it, I see options to make them even more zoomed in so that they cover more of widescreen resolutions but don't get how to make them display in their original resolution in the center of the screen and no extra stretching. Unless it's not possible.

I commented out both the options. Unfortunately I'm not at home and don't remember variable names offhand. But one was an enable to stretch, and one set it to a certain size. With both of them off the movies seemed to correctly scale down and letter-box.

if you patch up with the latest ss2tool (see the first post), all videos should be scaled/not scaled properly.
update 7zip.

I have the latest 7zip. When trying to extract it says Can not open file.....as archive

might be a bad download. try getting it again.

7zip worked fine for me
