voodoo47: L key is the default (toggle on/off).
When I try installing the newest version of 400 into my datapermmods folder, everything copies correctly(after I let it overwrite the similar files in that same folder) until it gets to the Flt_1 folder. The copy then pops up a windows "Item not found" window saying the item(Flt_1 folder) & 7 other items(I think they're all folders in the 400 mod rar file) could not be found. It then asks me to try again/skip/cancel.

(I checked the rar itself and the folders i'm getting the error on are all empty.)

Is this normal, or is the newest 400 mod rar file missing stuff?

(I downloaded the file from both download links to see if it was a download error on either my part or the part of the download location, but I still get the same window popping up at the same point each time I try copying the 400 mod files into my SS2 install.)

Looks nice. Any reason that's not on the recommended (your initial or systemshock.org)?

it's too much of a work in progress, plus the initial releases had some issues with transparency, and they can also quite seriously impact your performance in case you have a slow gpu. it looks like the latest release does not have those problems anymore - will have to test it, and if everything is fine, perhaps move it on the recommended list.

I've got it all up and running with all mods except rebirth. 2 queries:-

1. Is there the possibility of anti-aliasing in-game? I seem to remember reading in passing on the web that if you've run SStool there is, but I can't find the option in Options.

2. Anyone tried any post-processing suites with any success? I'm quite fond of SweetFX, but FI couldn't get it working (white screen instead of normal startup screen with the options).

EDIT: NVM, figured it's the cam_ext cfg file for aa

Would still be curious about post-processing experiments though :)

anti-aliasing is enabled by default (GOG vanilla and ss2tool alike), it's the multisampletype line in cam_ext.cfg. various postprocess settings can be found around the forums (GOG or systemshock.org).

It happened using WinRar(on Win7-64Bit). Maybe WinRar doesn't like something about the way the current rar is organized? :\

Reagrdless, the game seems to work fine if I skip the error prompts and let the other files copy over, so no biggie.

just use 7zip and you'll be ok.

Why should I have to use "x software" instead of "y software" just because someone didn't pack a rar file properly? -_-

(Anyways it's not a problem as everything copied over[except the empty folders, but that's ok]...I was just trying to bring up a possible issue to everyone's attention.)

Vurt's Space (hires space textures) and ADaoB hires earth space mods can be used together or do I have to select just one of them?

From what I read here/on the modding site that should be fine(though once you install ASaoB you have to replay the game as it makes older savegames incompatible).

It's a glitch with windows when moving multiple files/folder structures and some are just empty folders to replace other empty folders. So basically nothing it copied at all, instead the source is deleted while there is a still a copy instruction in the pipeline and this create some confusion. You can safely ignore this error.
