System Shock Portable
I have a problem with system shock portable edition from systemshock.org (which they say they have permission to distribute so idk but i think it's ok to ask for help). This is my (ignored for a week) topic asking for help on their forum: So the normal version, uses a inpackage dosbox with a custom bat file to enable or disable features, but (ofc) it's not portable to linux due to various windowisms (i'm on linux) on the bat file.
Trying to force the issue by loading it on linux dosbox went so far as to make sure the patches were not applied when starting the game (for example the mouse look patch didn't work). So i downloaded the 'SSP-mobile(android) ' version which is just the game with exe patches pre-applied. Now it works.
My keyboard keypad will not register as movement keys ingame, even though it is usable in the main menu to select options (i tried with numlock on and off). Also tried to edit XCYB.CFG manually, but got nowhere useful.
Except a being a bit perplexed about how can i make cdshock use different profiles since that file has multiple ones. Member Posts: 349 Joined: 2003-4-26 @ 21:34.

Ergo we are obligated not to support it.
Originally posted by Donlo: no but I did play SS1 back in the day, just keep in mind the interface is going to take some getting used to, its certainly not a fluid as modern FPS games. Oh, I played it back in the day just never completed it.
The standard FPS interface certainly has come a long way since 1994 (not quite as streamlined as Bioshock ). The game still looks pretty decent though, especially with some of the higher resolutions. It's pretty impressive how good the engine was - both in Shock and Ultima Underworld before this.
